If anyone is looking Lego Argos has this one reduced to £66.40. Elsewhere £83.

Someone was asking about Emma Bridgewater... I believe they have 30% off for Black Friday... Don't buy til then!

Help...looking for some nice men's slippers, designer ones if poss. If anyone sees any good Black Friday offers, please give us a shout!

Sounds like they have doubled up a lot of the Hype orders...
I also have a plain green and Sandy from Spongebob.

Happy to do a straight swap with someone for the Sandy one if someone has a need or use for it, send me a PM and can work it out.

Can someone please explain to a very non-techy me about smart plugs?
Am I right in thinking that if I plug a table lamp into a smart plug, I'll be able to turn the light on/off from my iphone (if I download the app for it), even if I'm not at home?
Do I need a something like Alexa if I just use it via the app not voice control?
What are the decent but barginous brands to buy please?

Ooh @Lovemusic33 do you think iron on patches would work on the bags? That would be a perfect solution if I could jazz up our plain green one.

Not particularly festive but I wanted to buy a cast iron skillet or frying pan for DP, have spotted one in Aldi if anyone could vouch? I’ve no idea what seasoned means as I’ve never had one before! Could anyone recommend? Think le Creuset seems too expensive but I would pay more for one that will last!

Seasoned is putting oil in the pan , heating til smoking and wiping with kitchen roll. Helps make it not stick and last longer . I have had aldi pans and not had a problem as long as they are looked after , ie not using scourers and often I just wipe clean and not wash

yumi have some kids onesies (unicorn / reindeer) and lots of women's clothes and accessories.
20% off with code FOLLOW20 - works on sale stuff but £2.95 shipping.

If anyone knew of an ASOS discount I'd be really grateful?

Tesco have echo dot @ £22 and Google home mini @ £19, plus firestick / chromecast for £20 each.

Still holding out for a Boden money off code if anyone has one to PM pretty please.

As an aside I think codes should be kept in here so web trawlers can’t access them and effectively give them to non Mumsnetters. I’m already a bit miffed how quickly they go on this thread given only a few people bother to reply saying when they have used them. There must be a lot of lurkers!

@Chippytheelf29, hold fire, I'll pm you in a sec.

Dd1 has wished bed linen with spiders for the last couple of years so so pleased I finally found it www.boernekraes.dk/produkt/edderkop-sengesaet/

20% off cox and cox

I can't order from m&sor boden but don't mind the codes ect.

@MulberryPeony I agree with you about the codes - I think they should stay on here. I'd love a Boden code too but keep missing them.

@margaritasbythesea re the giraffe he still loves him. He named him Gerald - very original and after 3 years he's still in pride of place next to his bed. However we may have to make some room for the giant melissa and Doug dinosaur I've brought him for this Christmas!

Someone recommended a hand held game console with a few games on it on a previous thread. Can anyone remember the name of it, or better again link to it please?
I’ve done a search but can’t find it.

Mumsnetters you are a bad influence.......turns out I need a lavazza milk frother and didn’t realize!

@recklessgran I've PM'd you a code. Expires 26/11.

@MulberryPeony I am also miffed that the codes being posted are obviously being taken by lurkers and I think people who are only on here for the codes rather than to participate. I have mentioned before that I would advise people to PM codes rather than upload a photo or put them on here for all to see. But it’s obviously up to individual posters what they prefer to do.

And I think if people take a code they should at least be polite and mention that they have used one.

Mulberry, it annoys me so much when people very kindly go to the trouble of posting codes and then somebody nabs them quickly and then doesn't even have the common courtesy to say thankyou.

Also people posting a blunt.... I want a 'whatever'. No please or thankyou.
So rude.

Please can someone point me in the direction of the Touche Eclait deal- I can't find it anywhere.....
