Thread 20 - the one with actual Christmas day

[YuleAreBeingUnREASTIEable]

Sorry, not caught up at all with last thread because of a germy family. I’m figuring this will be the thread with Christmas on though!

No links etc because I’m figuring you know it all now and we’re so nearly there!

Happy Christmas everyone 🎄☃️❄️🎅🏻

I'm hoping to shop the sales post Christmas for lego advent calendars for next year. Plus anything else that tempts me 😁

Does this thread continue or does a 2020 one start? @YuleAreBeingUnREASTIEable

@Whyisitsodifficult is that your sense of humour or a genuine question? 🤣

Damn those hampers! Still bitter 😆

Does anyone already have lego boost? And if so, do you know what tablets they run on?

I 'saved' lots by buying 2 for my kids when the John Lewis had their £40 sale, but have now realised they have odd specifications and won't work on our phones, so now need to source tablets... Not sure a bargain now. 🤦‍♂️

I've just made up my DIY crackers & three of the prizes don't bloody fit inside because I was too lazy to measure them
Does anyone have any ideas of small items I can get IRL for under £5?

@leeloo1 I'm pretty sure they run on most android tablets, IPads & kindle fire. I've only tried on an iPad I'm afraid

Can anyone help me find the mark hill pick and mix curlers please.

I need the handle, the mermaid waver and the eclipse waver.

It’s three for two in boots but the mermaid waver and the standard handle are out of stock and they don’t have them in stock at any boots near me.
They are also out of stock on the mark hill website.

Im done but the playhouse is way to big to hide so hoping the girls won't see it untill Tuesday

The bomb cosmetics advent is 6.99 on. Amazon

Thanks @tabbycat985, helpfully the lego boost website hasn't been updated since 2017, so is no help. Its saying you need Bluetooth low power technology (Bluetooth 4.1 or higher) and Dual core processor 1.4 ghz and most affordable fire tablets etc seem to be 4.0 and 1.3! 😔

@CheekyFucker😁 #metoohampervictim! I was being genuine though I do still need to get hampers! 🙄

This is a lovely present for a Harry Potter fan and only £6 and Prime delivery

Someone was looking for a Christmas tree at the end of the last thread? Next has some big reductions on their trees in the sale.

For anyone who bought the Aldi Raclette....we used ours for the first time tonight and its brilliant. I'm hoping I can get another one for when we have more people round.

Primark has loads of reductions in store

Dunhelm has some nice hampers quite reasonably priced

@Whyisitsodifficult I am still looking for alternatives also.

@leeloo1 we use the Lego boost app on my Samsung phone without any problems.

Tabbycat985 I have just done mine and I got compass and looking glass from local museum will post link in a sec because I have seen them lots if places

Pom pom kits from local haberdashery but I have seen similar lots of places

Smiggle have tiny puzzles like magic snakes

Jacks traditional game, links puzzles and joke hand buzzer from Home Bargains

Does anyone know of a real shop that I can go into and buy one of those spider looking head massager thingies from please?!

@pinkdaydreams try Tiger or Flying Tiger usually have some for about £2.

@Tooner. Same here. Ours was a Lidl one - had stone one side and griddle on the other. They’re selling one this week which is one big griddle. We really enjoyed melting cheese and cooking bread, veg and pots. Even melted some chocolate for dessert

@sherbertdibdab we haven’t got a tiger in Liverpool unfortunately :(

@pinkdaydreams how annoying it's my go to for random stocking fillers etc. Can't think of where else I've seen the head massagers.

@pinkdaydreams I’m almost definitely sure I’ve seen them in the poundshop
