Welcome one and all, see post two for links.

This Christmas we will mostly be watching the children spinning in bilibos with their head torches on and we will be drinking pact coffee in our Emma Bridgewater polka dot mugs

Thank you so much for the Book People sale info Bluths I've got some bargains. Phillip Pullman audio books! So happy plus some books for my children and for MIL's dh. Brilliant.

If anybody has not ordered from the Book People before my referral code is referme.to/ZGhoG8o
You should get 15% off your order with that code (not sure if it applies to sale items) and then I get 15% off my next order.

Red, thanks for the Hush link, but this year the £10 off appears to be only for orders only over £40.

Rainybo · 12/10/2017 10:19

Also I have a £10 Boden voucher, no minimum spend - PM me if you’d like it.

Reastie · 12/10/2017 10:20

Redtulip I think you make reference to the hushgate incident. We aren't fans of hush after that.

redtulip don’t think many people here are keen on hype after the dramas last year!! I just clicked through your link & gave a different email to the one I used last year —when my order was cancelled for breaking their rules— Hmm
It said there was a delay in processing but they would email me a £10 off £40 voucher..
not sure about referring yourself- might be ok as a one off but if everyone started doing it they’d prob cotton on!!

CarrotVan · 12/10/2017 10:23

@whyami - DH loves the Cornerstone stuff and he's very fussy

If anyone is looking for flamingo stuff then The Works and Dunelm have notebooks, nail files, stationery sets and really mad giant rubber pens

LostMyRubySlippers · 12/10/2017 10:23

Strike out won’t work on my phone any more since I’ve updated it!

LostMyRubySlippers · 12/10/2017 10:25

Also I meant hush not hype!!! Confused

Thanks for the heads up about the Clinique set Tacobella - just ordered 3 for my nephews :)

OhHolyFuck · 12/10/2017 11:42

A huge, massive festive thank you to those that used my wonderbly link - I've got 3 now and means I can get letters obsessed ds2 the alphabet book for Christmas 😁

chocolatepudandchocolatesauce · 12/10/2017 11:42

Tesco had the police response unit car for £16 instore. It is still listed as £20 online

FireflyGirl · 12/10/2017 12:00

Anyone ordering from Book People, AFCRUNCH20 gives 12% off. It's either this or cash back, and I chose this as it's guaranteed.

Thanks whoever mentioned them. Have also bought the Philip Pullman audiobooks Grin

Just be aware if you share your friction free shaving link it gives your full name to the person who clicks. Just in case anyone here doesn't want to be outed!

Need a game for my daughter's 10th birthday

We already have Monopoly, Labryinth (love), quirkle & rummikub.

She's a big fan of rushhour so maybe something she can do by herself as she is getting Harry potter Cluedo for Christmas to play with us.

Mrsmadevans · 12/10/2017 12:18

Thanks for the heads up for the Clinique I have just ordered 3 .
My EB order came omg they are beautiful thank you so much !

Avebury · 12/10/2017 12:26

Good solo games are screwball scramble and perfection (I think there are more modern versions)
Penguins on Ice is another good one similar to Rush Hour

WhyamIBoredathome · 12/10/2017 12:39

I've just got the bilibo out for a proper look. It was really static and after spinning it on the lounge floor it was covered on dog hair.
We don't have a dog.
The previous owner did but we've lived here a year and I vacuum that carpet every single day with Dyson, plus we had the carpets professionally cleaned when we moved in.
How the heck else do I get rid of the dog hair??? Anyone seen bargains on new carpets for xmas?

Coldilox · 12/10/2017 12:39

Popped into B&M this morning and they had My Busy Books for £5.99 each.

Still desperately looking for a bargain on a Paw Patroller.

WhyamIBoredathome · 12/10/2017 12:41

jangle I liked operation when I was a kid. I think it's supposed to be for more than one but you can play alone by seeing how many you can do before it buzzes.

Jupitertomars · 12/10/2017 12:50

Received my EB mugs and I love them. First time ordering and I think I've hinted enough to OH about how much I love them and I wish I could keep one that maybe I'll get one for Christmas!

I remember someone mentioning a hotel chocolat deal and I received a voucher with EB order for £6.95 for my first box. Is this a good deal?

Also I need to buy my DS a new helmet if anyone knows where I could get one fairly cheap?

drspouse · 12/10/2017 12:52

Jupiter that's the best price for Hotel Chocolat. Some people were getting a £9.95 offer instead.

LostMyRubySlippers · 12/10/2017 12:53

jupiter I got my EB mugs today too Smile
The other hotel choc offer was £9.95 but with £4.50 cash back I think, through topcashback

TellMeItsNotTrue · 12/10/2017 12:57

I'm still on the lookout for a lol doll big surprise, I'm signed up on the stock informer and I've seen it a few times but the page never actually has any stock, yet when I check back the stock informer says it had stock for about 90 seconds after when I checked Confused

I think stock informers are good but I'm also wondering if it makes the problem harder because people buying to sell on may be more aware of those pages than frantic parents Like me and can get hold of more to sell on by using pages like that

unluckycat · 12/10/2017 13:04

cookie thank you for the pencils link, I was after some new ones for the kids

My EB mugs have turned up and I'm totally in love with the winter animals one, the one I'm keeping for me, yay! I can see myself buying more in the future now.
But my spotty one has a big chip on the rim, nooo!
