13 - unlucky for some!

Welcome one and all, see post two for links.

Any referral links to go on this separate thread please

Just had my raspberry pi cancelled as “The items were unfortunately shown with a wrong price during the checkout process.” Bother I thought I had the bargain of the year!!

I also ordered a Raspberry Pi just before running the children to school. Just got home to my cancellation email. To be fair, I was buying it for me, not for Christmas

If you are new to qvc there’s a code FIVE4U to get a fiver off. Makes postage free plus couple of quid off

Just got my husband some elemis stuff as a treat

Does anybody know to cancel the pact coffee subscription, all I seem to be able to do is defer my order for a month. I have had to put a reminder on my calendar.

This could be good to get into the Xmas spirit if you haven't already and bonus of a gift and voucher. Apologies rubbish at short links www.playpennies.com/cinema-offers/olafs-frozen-adventure-frozen-gbp-250-per-ticket-free-lego-olaf-gbp-5-lego-voucher-odeon-178227

Oh no, sorry about the raspberry pi. Waiting for my cancellation email too. it’s back up to £64.99

Wine Advent ccalenders in my Aldi this morning. £49.99. It's huge so must be full size bottles?

sixp I also had pact take the full amount.* The thing is I am definitely sure that when paying it said 95p (I went for the whole bean) I was so impressed that I even showed my DP the screen and he saw it was 95p. Mistakes happen it will be how they deal with it. I have emailed.*

Can anyone recommend an audio book for an 8 year old? She currently has a Roald Dahl collection and Percy the Park keeper. It's for my niece.

We’ve got the David Walliams books for my friends 8 year old as she likes them @tentative3

Ooh that's a good idea Matilda, thank you.

Thanks have order the sloth fingerling from smyths - hurry up toys r us I need a unicorn one!!!

I'm glad you posted it, Nzou1050 as it gave me a good excuse to check out a couple of books and a Christmas present for my DN that have all been sitting in my Amazon basket for about a week now.

One of the books is Matt Haig's A Boy Called Christmas, that I'm looking forward to sneakily reading myself before reading it aloud to the children over Christmas!

Sorry, please can someone post the playmobil link again?

@cheerylilthing

Muddy Puddles were recommend to us for forest school, so they're probably pretty tough. Might be worth a look? Not sure about prices compared to JoJo Mama Bebe though.

What is raspberry pi? Suspect ds12 may like it, but no idea what it is!

Matalan have their filled hampers half price here, with £5 off a £25 spend with Nov5off25. You can get two of the smaller hampers for £20 instead of £50.

I've got the afternoon tea one for the ILs, to go with the Hotel chocolat chocolates, but they also do a breakfast one with two champagne flutes and drinks that looks nice too

Is anyone buying fingerlings for boys? I’ve been dithering for what feels like months about whether to get one for my DS who is 7.5 (and also DD5 but I know she’d love one). Neither have ever even heard of them but I think I’m getting caught up in the craze of them. I know dd would love one —esp if I can get a unicorn one— but don’t know whether to get one for DS too. They have sloths in stock at my local smyths so I need to decide ASAP but can’t make my mind up! Would they interact with each other if they both have one? (The fingerlings, not the dcs!)

yes I'm buying DS3 a fingerling, he loves anything "cute" (hes' nearly 9) and loves those TY beanie boos.

For those of you thinking of getting another credit card, American Express give you £5 cashback when you spend over £10 in certain small shops, you can only get the cashback once from one shop, but i already know that I’ll get £20 from local shops and restaurants.
It only covers the period for I think the first two weeks in December.
One of my local shops is Rollys fudge, so £10 fudge for £5 already, a local whisky shop where I buy a bottle for my husband and it also covers some pubs and restaurants. I’m already going to one of my local Indian restaurants for a Christmas do, so £5 off there!
I got this card because it does cashback, there was no fee with the card. I do get something if you use my referral link. ://amex.co.uk/refer/jacqugpJ0I

If anyone includes things like toothbrushes in stockings then the Co-op has Colgate children's toothbrushes with covers for travelling for £1 (half price). They have tigers, sharks and crocodiles

placemarking, thanks for the ideas so far

LOL big surprise egg doll things are in stock on Asda online

Over half of the Christmas crates (socks and pins) I mentioned earlier have been sold, so if you fancy one make sure you get it now before emails advertising it are sent out can't wait for mine to arrive

I've just had a text saying my lol doll surprise is in Smyths, but I'm worrying because a mum from school was going to pick mine up when she got hers (I told a few school mums when it was in stock) but text says you need ID and if she is collecting two then she can't just say she is me. Help!
