@oxcat1 might be worth trying kites own website. 20% off sale before midnight tomorrow with code LASTCHANCE20

torthecatlady · 27/10/2019 18:38

Thanks @Purpleheadgirl I noticed it was £10 on any purchase, so I've ordered the 6 issues of Cosmo with a free gift for £6. Will hopefully get £10 cashback Smile nice little treat for myself.

Help! Any idea where I can get a yoga towel for DD with alignment markings? No idea about this but it goes on top of the yoga mat and helps position the body correctly apparently! I'm clueless I'm afraid.
Also I have single use Lakeland [£5 off £30 and £10 off £50] and Matalan codes [£10 off £50 and £15 off £75] Please PM me if anyone would like one one.

@IveGotALovelyBunchOfCoconuts
My nearly 7 year old is the same. Things he enjoys - Hama beads, step by step drawing books, comic book subscription, hot wires, operation escape room, board games (though some days they are all he wants to play and other days he isn’t interested), those stick on mosaic sets.

OdeToAutumn · 27/10/2019 18:50

Has anyone bought / got the smart pixelater? My son loves Hama beads but he prefers following an existing pattern so I thought it would be a good present.

Bluewavescrashing · 27/10/2019 19:02

Good trip to town today. I returned 5 Body shop containers and got £5 credit, but this does end at the end of October as someone on here said. I spent over £15 on various bits for myself and got a £5 voucher to use in November too.

Also bought DH a guide book on Prague to go under the tree as we are giving each other the bargainous 3 night break I found. ❤️🎄

mamapants · 27/10/2019 19:03

recklessgran haven't seen towels with alignment markings before only mats and they are normally quite expensive. I assume she has suggested this as a gift? As I think the towtls are just for hot yoga and most people wouldn't use them.

WaningGibbous · 27/10/2019 19:05

I've got a Eufy fake-Roomba and it does the job. It's also permanently on special on Amazon and I would expect it to be on black Friday.

Also - Amazon Blink cameras are a reasonable equivalent to Ring doorbells and also likely to on BF. If you join their mailing list they also send out 20% vouchers now and then.

SheStoodInTheStorm · 27/10/2019 19:13

@recklessgran looks like Wowcher have some?

SheStoodInTheStorm · 27/10/2019 19:13

The mats that's is, not towels.

Can anyone recommend a giant jenga set please? Want it to be good quality. I'm a bit overfaced with all the choices and reviews so if anyone has one and can recommend that would be great. It's for my nephew who'll be 6 shortly after Christmas. I've got a Budget of around £30.

tentative3 · 27/10/2019 19:43

Is anyone on here in Amsterdam? Or elsewhere in the Netherlands?

Methenyouplus4 · 27/10/2019 19:44

After a cheap scooter for a 7 year old boy? Not especially into superheroes so ideally not Spiderman etc. Thank you.

LutherRalph1 · 27/10/2019 19:48

@Methenyouplus4 somebody posted about playpennies group on fb and they posted earlier about a bargain lion king scooter?

recklessgran · 27/10/2019 19:48

@mamapants and @SheStoodInTheStorm thank you. Yes it's a request she says several on her course have them - she already has a mat. There seem to be a lot of yoga towels around but not with markings. I'm off to look at Wowcher and if need be I'll ask DD to ask others in the class where they got them foom. [She admits herself that she can't find one!]

mamapants · 27/10/2019 20:02

recklessgran I've found one here
www.zenagoy.com/products/miflow-yoga-mat-natural-rubber-microfiber-towel-top
That seems like a good ethical option.
There also seems to be some on aliexpress although I personally wouldn't order from there.
I have a mat with alignments markings which is a lifeorme one, which are a fairly environmentally friendly option but pricey.
I have to say if I did hot yoga I would definitely go for one of the ones with a beautiful design, there are some lovely ones out there.

Annie1290 · 27/10/2019 20:02

Anyone seen any good deals on under armour clothing? DH does lots of sports and likes the compression shorts and leggings. Can't face paying full price! Can be end of line etc...

villamariavintrapp · 27/10/2019 20:16

Aldi had scooters online for £19.99

Elphaba17 · 27/10/2019 20:17

Has anyone ever seen any deals on the morfboards? DD has been asking for one for a while so I think I might give in and get her one this year.

Tooner · 27/10/2019 20:19

Some advent calendars are reduced at Very, Playmobil, hot wheels and Barbie to name a few. They also have the Pork scratching one down to £15.99, I know a few people have mentioned that one but I don't know if that's a good price or not (seems expensive to me for what it is)

DaisyChops · 27/10/2019 20:27

@Annie1290
Amazon Black Friday usually do deals on under armour
