Thread 4 - I want a revenge penguin

Thought I’d do a ‘how to’ for a couple of things people often post about not being sure of

To do click links you do this put link in here then a space then the name or phrase you want to go with the link . Don’t put a space between the start of the link and the and then last word and the like I have or it won’t work but I had to to demonstrate.

To follow the thread without using up a post to mark place you can click on ‘watch this thread’ at the top of the first post.

Second message has a few links and info which I’ll slowly build up, let me k ow if there’s anything you’d like me to add to it Thanks

The shortbread is now out of stock, is that all you other MNers stocking up lol

Dolceandgabbana14 · 20/09/2018 20:44

Thanks to the posters who said shortbread is still in store. I'll pop in tomorrow. Penguin, I don't think it's online. If you Google it, it comes up with a design from a previous year.

Any ideas for a 7yr old girl? Has lots of toys and art things. A wardrobe to rival Victoria Beckham and more shoes than Carrie Bradshaw! £20-£25 budget.
Looking for something different.

I took the 40 mile round trip to home bargains today, I was rewarded with 2 in the space of a mile (and we don’t have even 1...madness!) I picked up some great bits. My best bargain had to be the 1KG bag of M&Ms for my DS11 stocking, I paid about a tenner for them last year. There was half an aisle of Christmas stuff, so I will be heading back after Halloween to see for the first time, what Yuletide wonders may await me.

Coldilox · 20/09/2018 22:29

Can anybody recommend a site for custom phone covers (i.e. own photos)? Must be good protective covers, not just decorative. And bargainous if possible.

Thanks!

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 20/09/2018 23:28

smelly on the regular shelves

HoneyDragon · 21/09/2018 06:56

Insert the necessary comma there please Blush

BonnesVacances · 21/09/2018 07:22

@HerGrapeness Thanks for the tip about Whistlefish. The cards are lovely as I've bought them before, but hadn't though to put them in a tin and gift them. Great idea!

Spam88 · 21/09/2018 07:40

Smelly alcohol was on the end of the aisle by all the other alcohol, although there were also a few little tables dotted about with more on.

Smellybears · 21/09/2018 07:47

Thank you! I’ll have a nosey this weekend 😁

LostMyRubySlippers · 21/09/2018 08:02

Redrosebelle · 21/09/2018 08:59

I’m looking for Happyland bargains. They’re currently 3 for 2 but still very expensive!

GruffaloStick · 21/09/2018 09:21

Redrose the happyland bus was the lowest price on Amazon at £15.99 I got a notification through camel camel.
We bought a couple through eBay but they hold their price well second hand, I found the good bargains are collection only ones

AlbusPercival · 21/09/2018 09:38

For happy land also
Look at fb selling. We got the lights and sound fire engine for a fiver
