Mines a pressie from the grandparents who were happy to get a bargain Whoaaah ....guess I’m stuck with my Fiat now that dd will finally have a car to match mine

imsorry we bought two a couple of years ago and the best deal was via very when they were doing cash back. Had to wait a month for it to be applied but saved us over £200.00.

Delurking to recommend busyb to @TimeForMy10thCuppa.

I have this one:

It is smaller than you asked as it’s a5 however I think it ticks all the other boxes!

I've dropped off the threads a bit, but I promised @Reastiepeace an update on my photobook...

So I realised I needed waaaaaay more than 100 pages and ended up going with www.blurb.co.uk as my crappy internet connection made online editing software a bit of a nightmare. The blurb software, BookWright, is pretty easy to use once you've got your templates set up (they have standard templates, but I didn't like them). It's completely off-line so very quick and easy to add/change photos. HOWEVER, it did take me 3.5 hours to upload the final book, plus another 2 hours for a failed upload when my laptop went into sleep mode (TIP: turn off sleep mode before starting upload...) To be fair, my finished book was 471.45MB

It's definitely not the cheap option. I paid £43.43 plus £7.99 shipping for a 272-page hard back book with standard photo paper. That was with a 40% discount code. However, it's still less than I'd usually spend on my parents, and the off-line editing saved me hours, so I'm happy. I used BESTGIFT4T to get 40% off, but this ends tomorrow. However, they tend to have a 35% or 40% discount code floating around most of the time.

Just got to crack on and make another one for my PIL now!

I should have clarified that the £43.43 was AFTER the 40% discount.

@margaritabythesea I don't know about Morrison's but I think Tesco' s have their buy 6 bottles get 25% off within the next week or so

I’ve been asked to get a GLTC cash register for my Goddaughter. However the P&P is £5.75, does anyone know if they do free delivery from time to time? The till is reduced from £27 to £22, so it will cost almost £30 with delivery.

Also, any bargains for tennis mad 40 year old man would be appreciated!

Thanks for the photo box desk calendar offer another pressie for dp.

Does anyone know or roughly remember how much the Amazon Echo Dots will be/were on Black Friday? Think it would be a good gift for my tricky to buy for teen DB!

The Birthday Lottie doll is currently in an Amazon Lightning Deal for £9.50. I've been stalking them for a while and had only seen the Brownie one reduced before. Apologies if just Prime - we have Prime but I can't see it saying anywhere it is only Prime.

@HoneyDragon thank you, wouldn't have thought of Very

Morrison's 25% off wine for black Friday starts tomorrow.

Did you get your gnomes, @HoneyDragon?!

I've just got a good mixed case of wine offer from Laithwaites

Dh is going to pick one up when he goes that way. I couldn’t decide on a suitable Girlfriend for Mr Elf Gnome

pebblesandfriends thanks so much for the Boden code! I had a few presents in my basket already and so it was great to be able to save a bit .

@drspouse if your party book budget can stretch to £1.50/book The Works have the excellent Roald Dahl Wizzpopping Joke book for £2 minus 25% with MVC25 and free delivery. £22.50 for 15 copies.

I'd still love a Lakeland code if anyone has one going.. Thanksxx

Just a warning - I have stopped using TopCashBack as they are robbing bastards they incorrectly declined one transaction, then paid another wrong so took the Cashback back (leaving me in negative credit), and I am still waiting on a third transaction TWELVE MONTHS after it should have paid out.
Their customer care bit are rude and unhelpful and couldn't give less of a shiny shit if they were sparkly shitting unicorn toys.

I added two boxes of G&B to my Tesco online order last night. Delivery was this morning.... NONE delivered and not even a substitution! 😡

Has anyone got any of the furreal toys and can tell me if they are good?
My DD spotted the dog in the argos catalogue but they aren't cheap!!

Just bought 4 G&B for £5.50 from Amazon here.

Thanks for the link.

6 editions of "first news" free trial one of those where you have to sign up but cancel before they take payment after 6 copies. It is a weekly news paper for kids aged 8-13. Dds teacher recommended it at parents evening tonight and when I went on to look there was a free trial. Might be good for a stocking filler or 2. Or just something to keep little ones busy while I decorate the tree and drink mulled wine...

Update on my G&B chocolate plight - my husband has just got home from work and came via Tesco where he picked up two boxes
