With Birchbox, I take it when you put the BESTEVER promo code in, it automatically generates 2 boxes? I've subscribed to the monthly box, used the promo code and paid £7.95, so £5 + £2.95 postage. But I haven't 'ordered' 2 boxes.

Thanks for the heads up about cancelling quickly. I've done this now as I know I'll forget until the boxes arrive otherwise.

Just realised it's only the wood and black 500ml bottles on lightening deal at £8.79... sorry!

@PoopaPoopa the AirPods dupes are i12 TWS on either amazon or eBay. Sift through for UK based sellers... and stick to white ones as I find variable quality with pink or green.

@ArabellaPilkington Amazon have this wildlife camera on lightening deal for £39.19 - that said, we bought a similar one two weeks ago for under £30 using a deal I found on LatestDeals.co.uk

@Themazeoflife I've been using Photobox for about ten years! How on earth do you get a free book? x

@PoopaPoopa

Someone else did have recommendations for something similar to AirPods.

My recommendation is for Sennheiser wireless earphones. They’re not exactly the same but they are really good earphones £79.99. I have them and love them. They hold their charge well and the sound quality is fab. My link is for John Lewis. I don’t know if anywhere else is doing them for a cheaper price - if they are JL will usually price match.

been Christmas shopping at John Lewis & Partners and found this: earphone

Very random request but I’m looking for the varsity style letters. The type you would see on a letterman jacket but I’m having no luck. I’m trying to do a onsie for DS but so far the letters are going to cost more than the onsie. I wondered if someone might know of somewhere that sells them at a price I won’t have to sell a kidney for?

@IveGotALovelyBunchOfCoconuts that looks perfect thank you!!!

My 11 year old niece is horse mad. I like to buy my nieces and nephews (14 of them!!) a book and something else for Christmas. I’m stuck for inspiration for the 11 year old. In previous years I’ve bought my books by Michael Morpurgo and Claire Balding. Does anyone have any suggestions? TIA x

Does anyone think I will be able to get a leicester city football kit with ds name on it any cheaper by Friday. Annoyingly Adidas have his size but they don't have one of the letters of his name. The 30% off code works otherwise 😫

@Dreamingofwalden does she ride or have her own horse?

@Tooner Thank you for the rucksack link! Great value

@@Fueledwithfairydustandgin how many letters do you need? Some on Ebay but £1.55 each. Not too bad if you've got an Ann but not so good for an Anastasia 😁

@BeauticianNotMagician81 sorry can’t help with your question but could I ask for the 30% off code please?

I’ve tried to look for it but can’t seem to find it

@onedayatatime73 I had an email from Booking.Com with hotel offers on today.

Of course @Worrywart21 it's VOZH-HPBW-7RPH-SRDKB. It's on voucher cloud

@Fueledwithfairydustandgin sorry stuffed the tag above - if you haven't got repeat letters you can get a set of 26 (a-z) for £3.99 on Amazon

Oooh @roosterroo do you know how long the family IKEA thing is on for? I might be going this week...

Sorry if already posted - look fantastic have 3 for 2 on neom plus 15 % off with LFBF15

You're welcome @PinkJam. Its too big for what I need so I am resisting😀

@Fueledwithfairydustandgin she does not have her own horse (she dreams of having one). She rides occasionally- think birthday treat - but doesn’t go to a regular stables etc.

I have some vouchers - £20 off an £80 Waitrose online shop for new customers only.
£5 off £30 or £10 off £50 at Hotel Chocolat.

PM me if they are any use.

Could anyone recommend a good dash cam for my sister who seems to be a magnet for idiots rear ending her? It's happened twice this year, both times whilst she was parked, and the first time the other driver lied to the insurers and tried to blame my sister. Luckily there were independent witnesses.

I have no idea what you need in a good dash cam, or what they cost.

webuildCisCity it says on the back for coffee, baking, deserts, oatmeal and yogurts so I'm sure would be amazing on ice cream! I'm tempted by the milk frother to make amazing lattes. but holding off as it won't be good for the waistline 🤣🤣

thank you for the b&m tips will be checking out every aisle. hoping dds write their lists before I go!!
