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.

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

@startingafresh you might get lucky and see the price go down again, as it has been around a few years now and looks like being a game that sticks around, the price does vary quite a bit.

Alternatively, I’ve bought a game called Pharoah (by ravensburger) from Lidl for £13 instead of £28 on Amazon. Ds2 has had labyrinth for at least 3 years and loves it, this looks the same sort of thing but with traps and holes to make it fun and different enough to be worth having (I hope! )

Rosablue thank you that's great advice.

If you have O2 Priority there's a 50% off code on the Ciate Mini Mani advent calendar, making it £25. I've no idea about good nail varnishes, but just putting it out there! Code is MANI25.

Im already disappointed in tbe Kindle Paperwhite - it is so thin and tiny. Its supposed to be a main present but it is the size of an envelope! (I know I should think of the environment!) If it goes down to £59 my head will explode!

Boden seem to be doing 30% off from Tuesday.

I bought Jimmy Choo Flash 100ml instore in Superdrug yesterday for £25.

Got an echo dot for a friend but need a google home mini for ds - mostly so I can call him for his tea from the one downstairs!

well dd got a slime shaker factory from Argos last year which was good.
Best part was after reading the instructions together she could do it on her own & they sell refills in Argos too.

This year dd has asked for an amazon fire 10 inch.
Does anyone know if they’ll come down in the Black Friday sales?
And still on the lookout for Nike huaraches trainers!

lokibear can you pad the paperwhite out with a case? Makes it more 'book-like' too. I got mine on offer on black friday last year else they seem to be really expensive too!

@loki the kindle paperwhite is amazing. I love it so does my dh and we read loads. Much better for the eyes that reading on a screen or a traditional book in dim light (which i use to do nightly!) It really is a selling point that it’s thin and tiny I did get the official case (but bet just as good ones out there) which opens like a book and adds weigh so I find that comfortable for reading. It’s a good “main” just add in the accessory cover. I’m sure they’ll be delighted!

@imsorryiasked do you have a link for the Amazon calendars? I've searched and can't get them to come up.

I have a boden code which has £10 off a £30 spend. Only valid for today.

Thank you @Duchess very much for the Boden code. Much appreciated

Yes pls nickdrakeslovechild

@rainbowbrite 2 for £10 calendars & diaries
and for £7 paperbacks including some beatrix potter etc as well as adult fiction

trying again on the paperbacks link

@Beadley

Thanks for the intel. I might not need a Dot but now realise I NEED a smart plug!

@butterflymum

Thanks for the advice, I upgraded to the 3rd gen for an extra fiver.

Just in case anyone got a £10 Boden gift voucher and doesn’t realise, I could use mine with no min spend, it worked on a clearance item and a free delivery code popped up automatically (C8N6). Really chuffed!

Hubby wants a dot. It I really can't see what he'd use it for

Boden £10 off £30 WYDMEEHAYUA0

I think im going to have to dress it up in another box for dd7 - her almost 2yo sister has a kitchen which is massive. I have a paperwhite and I love it. Dd7 is a modern day Matilda and has wanted a kindle for ages so it is the right call. I think im just sad that my baby has grown up so fast!

Just annoyingly marking place

Dot is only £19.99 @ Very

Got my g+b from amazon this morning.
Quite annoyed that the seals are intact as I now have to give them to intended recipients!

Went to smyths this morning (but to lool at car seats) was hideous. Packed and grabby screamy whiney kids (including my own!) everywhere. I think I'll be ordering online
