I'm imagining Wand Erection is era... an... 'affectionate' term for One Direction.

I'm going to say Wand Erection every time I need to talk about them now. My class of five year olds will never know the difference

Somersaults · 13/11/2013 22:48

*erm, not era.

Dementedma - no bargain but I got slippers from Ambleside Sheepskin last Christmas and they are great quality for the price. I had ordered slightly cheaper ones from Amazon which arrived marked and not as good. dM's have really lasted and still look like new after 11 months wear

You can call the shop (in Ambleside - Lake District) to check sizes etc

(I have no connection to them other than being a displaced Cumbrian)

Hi all. Gave away 2 yes 2 presents to my son for treats. Now need to fill the gap! This was NOT the plan at ALL! Oops! Anyone else done this? Thanks for another thread and all ideas thus far!

Has anyone on here come across cheap personalised stamps for teachers? Preferably self inking. The sort of thing that says 'Miss xxx says great job' or 'Mr yyy thinks this is fab'.

I'm sure there were some on last year's threads but I spotted them too late to order (I suspect it was on eBay) so didn't go for them. This year the only ones I've found have either been expensive or just general ones.

Failing that - has anyone ordered any personalised teacher stickers and had particularly good or bad experiences? (particularly quality and speed of service given that timings are beginning to get tight for things from China etc!)

I seem to have missed the finger lights - where are they from?

TheOneWithTheHair · 13/11/2013 23:00

Finger lights

dementedma · 13/11/2013 23:02

Argh! Just noticed it's me in the title!

Rough day, and not enough parcels.

Has anyone cancelled beer52 after receiving first reduced box? I emailed them to cancel but I notice others have been receiving a second box as cancelled too late. I found I couldn't log in to cancel

Can't remember who was looking for angel stuff, but the book people have a book on angel origami which might appeal to somebody who loves angels - I could imagine that being able to make your own out of paper could become quite addictive if you like those sorts of things!

paperlantern · 13/11/2013 23:29

teacher stamps- like these?

KungFuBustle · 14/11/2013 00:15

Thanks to Reastie and to everyone else who is helping this skint cheapskate have a merry Christmas.

zipzap · 14/11/2013 00:17

paperlantern - yes, that's exactly the kind of thing. Except thanks to the influence of this thread I was hoping not to have to pay £10.49 for it! Unfortunately the £1.99 that draws you in is just for an ink refill Sad

I have 2 teachers and 2 TAs to buy for, so was hoping to get away with no more than a fiver each!

Pumpkintopf · 14/11/2013 00:40

parrots re cancelling beer 52 - I cancelled mine last night - go back to the original email they sent you, there's a link to their 'order portal' (clicking it will email a new link if that one has expired).Once you click through to your page, there's a button to press to cancel. Once you click, you have to click again to confirm , then you should get a message that your account is cancelled.
