@Gardenworm I've just had my 'processed email 'yest I think so will be on edge all day today to see if I get a cancel 🥴

@wibdib & LG Sainsbury folk - you can do up to £7 of points doubled if you have the nectar points - I did this last year & got £150 off ds's beloved switch. I usually just spend the points on wine, lovely wine!

@PaddingtonBearPumpkinstare try this link. I sent it to my DSis a few days ago and seems to work for me.

Thanks @VaprousDropProfound I used the Charles T code to order DH a different colour polo shirt for the cost of delivery.

Thank you @Whyisitsodifficult , but I think someone may have pipped me to the post as the code didn't work for me. Thank you though.

@DianaPrinceRocks Thanks for the Debenhams link, it seems like the advent calendar has sold out though. Might it come back? looks good!

True @NoWordForFluffy ours could have been a duff one. It was only very lightly used as well.

Playmobil advent calendar santas workshop down to £13.99 on Amazon right now. Normally £19.99.

Thanks for posting the Good Housekeeping offer - it's made a nice free present for my mum .

Aldi have festive boxes of fancy chocolates for £4.99 along the lines of the Hotel Chocolat H box but probably much nicer cos Aldi chocolate is delicious. They also have 600g boxes of more standard chocolates for £6? (might have been £7) in a single layer so the box is huge and really impressive looking.

Just checking my inbox:

25% off at Nuxe for orders over £35. They also give several free samples with each order.

Boden 25% off plus free delivery and returns.

Book people code Spark5 gets you £5 off orders over £25.

Mulberry you beat me to it! The code for Charles W looks like it's a one off use only.

Sorry @TwistedAnkle I even had to go and get the laptop as I couldn’t find anywhere to put the code on my phone.

Charles is normally as generous as Jonnie with the codes but I must have fallen out of favour!

Check emails from Look Fantastic. They’ve been offering me 20% off the past month or so (code LF20) but apparently an email exclusive beauty box is free when you spend £75.

Word on the Aldi toy special buys,

I've picked up some nice looking toy kitchen accessories.
The baking set comes with wooden stand mixer as well as wooden accessories. Also got the coffee machine which has wooden pods.....
Picked up a giant teddy too for £12.99 to get free delivery. dont tell DH

I have a 6.5yo ds who regularly tells us he has nothing to do if we're not letting him use the iPad (minecraft) or play in the PS4- any suggestions to get him away from these? We have tons of Lego, hundreds of books, he's not into sports of any kind (we've tried!), so I'm at a bit of a loss! He occasionally plays with brio trains or the marble run... any suggestions appreciated!!

20% off NFL site here - ends today, and excludes outlet sales

£5 off orders over £40 at the amnesty international shop with code 5AMNV19

@doriana8 and @PaddingtonBearPumpkinstare sorry that link wasn't help. I bet they'll be back though, last year I bought mine much closer to Xmas and it was half price so 🤞 it'll be the same this time.

I didn’t know you could double up on the nectar points! Does anyone know the date of when this happens?

Thanks everyone, it was me who was after the Trunki. The 4 year old already has one and has lasted really well, sorry to hear you had a duff one! I do agree though they don't hold too much - but then I guess stops them from becoming too heavy.

I've emailed IWOOT as the code isn't applying - also going to check out boots as I do have a gazillion boots points :) x

@IveGotALovelyBunchOfCoconuts
How about something like this logic game - they have lots of other games too (single player and family)

Do the Playmobile advent calendars have very small pieces? I want to get something like it for my 3 year old but she still puts small toys in her mouth. Her cousin almost died when he was 4 choking on a piece of Lego so we're being cautious.

@NeedMoreTea they do unless it's the playmobil 123 ones (Not sure if they still make those ones!) you might be best with the Happyland ones? They were a great for us when my son put small toys in his mouth!

Nectar double up starts 30th Oct for changing points. You have to do it online this year and it looks like they've reduced the amount of vouchers per card to £100

But I have 2 cards. Mwahahaha
