@sleepismysuperpower1 mine go on far far longer than that. My commute is around 40mins for a start. Plus faffing around at either end would easily be an hour. I often listen to music at work too. I've never actually stopped to work it out because I've never found them wanting. Just pop them back in case when I take them out and they're ready to go again. Maybe look for another seller. Mine were from eBay not amazon.

@sleepismysuperpower1 actually I've had them from both amazon and eBay. Five of the six pairs have been fine.

Congrats bikini she’s beautiful.

If anyone else has an M&S code I’d also love one. FIL is really difficult to buy for but loves their jumpers.

I now need to go to home & bargains to get those marshmallow discs, they sound fab.

Congratulations bikini

@BadgerFace
What an amazing idea!! I am definitely pinching that, although I haven't got Petit Filou pots.........do you think shot glasses would work?

Thank you to all those on the previous thread who helped with styling heads. Some micro scooter discounts below:

@friskybivalves brilliant, thank you

@friskybivalves for the ear phones would you say the eBay or Amazon ones are better? The eBay ones are showing for 12.99 and Amazon ones for 16.91 I'm happy to pay that little bit extra if they are worth it but I'm undecided!

Brandalley have lucky voice karaoke sets on offer at the moment £42-46 which seems reasonable compared to £59.99 on Amazon I think I recall someone looking for a set?
Even better would be if you can spend over £80 you could get £20 credit from referral if you’re a new customer.

This is a fab price for the nail stamp set from hamleys. My daughter loved spending the day there and this was brilliant quality.

It's down from £25 to £10 (Although £3.99 delivery). I've just picked it up for DD

Just reading about airpods I have no idea about these but I have an old Ipod classic are there any earphones that would work best with that? I'd like to use it at work in the hope that people will stop disturbing me as much. That sounds really antisocial!

Bit of a random one this... I ordered a pack of cheap hair ties with a bunch of other stuff from Very and have randomly been sent a “LOL doll surprise #hairgoals”.
I CBA to return it for some 99p hair ties and haven’t been charged for it, does anyone have a child that might like this? I will post out to whomever PMs me an address first :)

@Bikinibottonmuffintop your daughter is beautiful, congratulations, oh wow the thought if all those lovely snuggles your so lucky.

RenardeRenarde I have sent you a pm

The LOL tin is gone now :)

@Ewock i think you would be better with ones like these x

Opened the door today to my local Hermes courier delivering my Lakeland parcel - the same chap who, in the last two weeks, has delivered (large) parcels from: Boden, Woolovers, the Book People, Photobox, and Jojo Maman Bebe. I think he thinks I have a problem

@PurpleSock, I’m also looking at the ear phones on eBay too. Once you wade through all the Chinese sellers, it seems £12.99 is the best price. I’m just going to go for it!

@friskybivalves, thanks for the earphone recommendation too - my DD asked for some and I was clueless- and also couldn’t be bothered wading through loads of reviews.

@LikeSilentRaindrops my postie knows I have a fondness for online shopping. He tuts at me whenever he delivers a parcel 🙂

I’ve just bought those £12.99 EarPods on eBay. Thanks for pointing out @Puffinhead about not going with chinese seller. No way would they be here for Christmas.

Can’t see if anyone has already mentioned but I’ve had an email for 15% off at Jojo Maman Bebe using GIFT19 - has to be used by the end of the day though!

15% off with the code sparkle with a £40 spend at whs until the 14th November

Probably already been shared but Argos have 20% off all toys at the moment with the code TOYS20.
And they are releasing a new code every Wednesday until Christmas.

I think it's replaced the 3for2.

My SIL is after an 'eco selection' for Christmas. I remember a post a few threads back about a hamper of soaps etc (I think).... maybe from H&B? Can anyone remember/remind me about it please?
