Thread 11 - the one with the chocolates

[Reastie]

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

@2anddone I think ‘fits new xbox’ is referring to the fact that older xbox wireless controllers did not come with a headphone port. You had to buy an adaptor gizmo to plug in.

I think that all wireless controllers for the last year, and possibly a lot longer, now come with a built in headphone port.

If in doubt, open it up and check the bottom of the controller for a port.

Almost forgot - I have a question about the Fortnite Deep Freeze bundle. Will it work for those who have already downloaded the game, or will it confuse it?

Sock I wondered that too. If no answer here could try the gaming threads.

Thank you sock I have a new style one just checked!!
Also thank you claire for the post about Yankee candles I am a single mum so do my own stocking from Santa, dc still believe, that's perfect as my 'large item'

My first years have started their sale and have a few items at 50% off.

If you are giving people a Prezzo voucher make them use it immediately. They had financial issues and had to restructure earlier in the year, closed stores etc.

From what I understand, the deep freeze is a code to download the outfit on the game you already have, and vbucks to spend on the game too, so it’s basically an add on (although it does include a download for the battle royal game if they don’t already have it - but it’s free to download anyway so most will have)

Help! Have a echo dot in my basket ready to order for a friend - can’t see how to say it’s not for me so not linked to my account? Have checked the “gift” bit on order page but think that’s just about not displaying prices...

Managed to get a Matt blue Chilly’s bottle from debenhams for £16 - been trying to get a bargain on one for ages.

@SweetPeaPods I think it's because someone has already used the code. I've tried all of the codes that have been posted, and none of them have worked, so I presumed someone else was beating me to it!

@Iggi999, NSPCC do a letter from Santa, it's a suggested donation of £5.

You pick from a selection, so you can see what it will say.

Could someone link the Fortnite Deep Freeze thing please?

I do the NSPCC letter each year, they are very sweet and a good cause to donate to.

Also same price on Argos.

Little Labs: Stars and Planets

£12.99, 50p away from being best price ever, very good reviews and quite different from the science kits already mentioned here.

Would help if I said on Amazon

Hi has anyone seen any offers on either Chilly Bottles or Obama Llama please?

My 8 year old daughter is asking for a Fitbit. I know nothing about them! Advice greatfully recurved! She doesn't have a mobile but I could link it to mine. Do I need to get her the ace, which seems to be a children's version, or will the adult version work on a smaller wrist?

@GenerationBlueMascara Chilly bottles- @Koko12 said she got one from debenhams using the 20% off code

Sorry @Koko12 you may be a he, I just presumed you’re a she!

Thanks Pink and Koko

Thanks BestofLuck it was me looking for a marble run.
I've just googled the haba ones and they look lovely - but rather pricy.

In the meantime I'd found the marbulous marble run at a v good price. It looks good but it's so hard to know what the quality will be like without seeing it. I don't suppose anyone else has seen one before?

It's this one www.netpricedirect.co.uk/Buynow-id-30545-marbulous-marble-run-220-piece.html
