Imsorryiasked - thanks very much

Omg cleaning the oven worked! DH said it was a great idea as a present to each other. I've just booked a 3 night trip to Prague for February and my mum is babysitting. Merry Christmas indeed! Booked flights direct with Ryanair and hotel with booking.com as I was worried looking at reviews of lastminute.com but flights plus hotel was £179 each! Local airport too, flying out at 4pm,back at 11am. 😀👍✈️ I'll get him a guide book to go under the tree!

Master of Malts is having a flash sale. Just missed a sample of whiskey for £20 from £40 (regular bottle retails for £500) but this lovely valentines gin tasting set is on sale for half price at £10 for next 3 hours. I plan to separate and use in diy Christmas crackers but they’d also work as stocking stuffers

Stollen bites and lebkuchen are now on the shelves in Aldi (I did a little dance in the aisle)

@Sunshine196 Black Forrest crumble mince pies 😳😳😳 omg I need

@Whitecandle i know! I feel like my life is complete. I didn't buy any yet though as I'm scared I'll scoff the lot. I'll try to stay strong until dec.
I did get some stollen & florentines to go away. Just one pack each as I'm the only one who eats them. I'm doing the obligatory pre-Xmas weight loss so I can put it all back on in a week with all my lovely treats 😀

@beadyboo me too! Love them. Nom nom nommmm

I don't think I've ever been as excited for anything as Black Forest mince pies 😍

In other news, any advice on what to get a very awkward man for his 28th birthday? He's very geeky, loves gaming etc, has just gone back to uni to study maths...any bright ideas please send them my way!

@Sunshine196 I'd be scared tb go out of stock and not come back in 😱 luckily for me I have to do a food shop this weekend so will pick a pack or three up.

Does anyone know where I can get a sleepyhead pod from at a bargain price? SIL has asked for one for her new baby due Jan.

Thread 6 already!

I'm looking for bargainous cashmere - my mum would love a jumper and would never get herself one. Saw some in Tesco but really don't want to get her a Tesco jumper for Christmas, even if it is cashmere!

Very excited to hear stollen bites are appearing...

Really nice cashmere jumpers in range of and styles on tK maxx website around the £50 mark - is that in budget? Couple for £39.99 in pretty blues/greens.

@Whitecandle I am a bit nervous about it too if I'm honest 🤣

Sleepyhead 20% off at john lewis but not exactly a bargain at £103!

@22Giraffes my DC have lovely towels from Zara home. They have some nice, more grown up designs too

Any thoughts on non plastic doll beds/cots or similar?
Twins turning 3 at Christmas and think they'd like but any decent wooden ones seem to cost 30+

He definitely has that! @TakeMeToYourLiar 🙈

Sorry if this has already been asked/answered, but does anyone know if Sainsbos are doing the Nectar double up this Autumn?

@IHeartKingThistle -

Woolovers 20% off & free P&P with WH20

Their 100% cashmere is still £££ but their Cashmere & Merino mix jumpers are lovely

You an get some really good supermarket/cheap cashmere - but also some awful thin stuff.
Another option would be looking for Boden, Pure Collection or White Company stuff on ebay?

Where’s the Elf? Search and find activity book on Amazon £3.

@TreeLinedMotorway @Gustavo1 thank you both for the suggestions I will go and have a look!

@NotPenny'sBoat glad I could help with the mugs

Ahh fail! I meant @NotPennysBoat

I know it had been mentioned briefly on the earlier threads but has anyone seen a date confirming when IKEA’s toy kitchen will be on sale?

Duckyneedsaclean, these IKEA doll beds are sturdy little things.

25% off Forever 21 via UNiDAYS. They were also doing a £5 off for every new customer. Unfortunately it wouldn’t stack. I got grumpy at checkout because they wanted £3 delivery to a random shop - not even my house but it’s a good discount if there was anything in particular you wanted from them.
