@Redwinestillfine thank you so much for the advent tree tip - that is fab and I've ordered it with DGD2 who will love it I think.
[Will save me spending half a lifetime knitting one - road to hell paved with good intentions!]

The cold dead eyes of these things were following me around Tesco, should this be useful to anyone...

What was the craft gin offer? Is it finished?

Thanks for the aldi kitchen info. I’ll get the ikea one then. It’s for a two year old so I’m hoping it’ll be played with over the next few years.

If anyone remembers the lovely bamboo socks we all got last year, they just sent me a free random pair in the post. Obviously a ploy to get me to spend more money (which I did )

Referral offer from them is fairly good however, info in the referral thread.

Some codes I got in emails this morning if they're of any use:

• Converse (selected styles only), use PROMO40 at checkout, October 5-8.
• Nike, extra 20% off reduced items, use OCT20 at checkout.
• Turtle Doves, 15% off offer extended until Monday because of how many orders have been flooding in, I expect from MN
• Cult Beauty, free delivery over £15 and a free full size bottle of niacinamide 10% + zinc 1% with any £30 order of the ordinary stuff (can vouch for them being amazing stuff, use every night).

Thanks @PaddingtonBearHardStare I've just emailed them.
@recklessgran I had problems with it accepting my codes too. When I look in the customer dashboard bit it only shows one of my orders, but when I click the link from the email confirmation the other order shows on its own - I have a feeling there are two accounts with my email address!

Does anyone else feel they're on the long wait for a Sylvanian Families deal? Every year it's the same for me, and this year between the dcs I have been asked for 5 sets.

I got the ice cream shop in Argos recently. Unfortunately, although it will go down well, it's not one of the 5!

Did you see the Sylvanian tram? What are the five? My local toy shop has town series restaurant for £29.

Could someone please tell me how long the dr botanicals stuff took to arrive?
I need a present for Wednesday but looks like I’ve left it a bit late to order from them.
Thanks.

Just in case anyone has a baby shark aficionado, Baby Shark fingerlings have just arrived in The Entertainer. There's some other new Baby Shark bits too, I noticed a smartphone.

@mammmamia I ordered on the Thursday and it wasn't despatched I until the Monday via Hermes so didn't arrive until Wednesday. This was in the middle of the flurry of orders from this thread though!

Haha thanks Paddington! I might give them a call on Monday.
Cute baby by the way

I've ordered the wooden advent tree too. I plan on putting it in the DCs bedroom. Thanks!
