@IggyAce it’s worked. I was adding the larger one I
hadn’t realised there was 2 sizes. However, I ended up ordering both, one as a gift & one for me! Thank you

I bought the flavourly beer as a cheer up surprise present for DH. He's thrilled with it - the box was huge! The dates are good till next summer.

Other random request from my mum- a big orchid that looks real. Tricky as not doing much RL shopping at the moment and hard to judge without seeing them in the flesh.

Person asking about top cash back- sometimes takes a few days for payment to clear but normally says 'pending'. Are you logging onto tcb and clicking through their link for the shop? Also, sometimes conditions e.g. first time purchase/ not in sale/ no other code used etc.

@IndecentFeminist I went onto the site as soon as the message came in (I got a text) and ordered gift vouchers, £10 for £4 each. Are they not showing now?

Marks and Spencer’s orchids look good in real life .

They are, but showing at £10. Ah well

If anyone is collecting the 'Little people Big dreams' books, Ada Lovelace is currently £4.49 on Amazon. Anne Frank is also only £6:00, which is a little cheaper than the £7something they often drop to.

Some (apparently) good deals on Wowcher at the moment - 50 x marble size bathbombs might be good for advent calendar or stockings? Marble runs (normal plastic and one of the roller coaster ones), teddy bear fleece bedding sets.

The Smashable Dino egg arrived this evening and its much more impressive looking than I expected, so much so that DH has decided that we are going to give it to DGS tomorrow when he comes to stay for the weekend as we have only seen him once for a day since lockdown started.

Nice kids book at half price

Photo clip light things, might be nice for a teenager and if you use the code NTC8TAWP they drop from £9.99 to £4.99 at checkout

50% off funko pop marvel or Harry Potter advent calendars at Zavvi

Real life orchid, look at Bloom website. I have 2, they are excellent

Just ordered these cute Christmas cheese boards for a couple of friends. Missed out on the code SAVE5 by two pence but I thought oh well, then they emailed me a code SAVE10 1 hour AFTER I completed purchase. Very annoying so I’ve posted it in case someone else does.
The great thing about the tree shaped cheese boards is you can have anything engraved on them.

If anyone wants a kindle fire 8” they are on amazon, Argos & curry’s for £64.99. I want one for Xmas to replace my outdated one so have price checked on camelcamel & they haven’t been lower than this. Have ordered for dh to put away for me.
