@UselessInDisguise, which Argos is it? Maybe one of us can get it and post it?

@NoWordForFluffy thank you, that's kind, it's now 300 miles somewhere called Berwick on tweed.

Probably as far north as you can go before you're in Scotland @UselessInDisguise 😁

I'm in the north east but Berwick is still another hour away from me.

There might be another northerner on here though?

That's OK, it is abit of a long shot. I will keep googling for codes. I used my Very code on something else. And it might come back up in a amazon right 🙏 I blame my husband for dithering as it went out of stock before my eyes...🙄

Ah, that is north, isn't it?! Moral of the story: don't wait for your DH's input!

Always better to ask for forgiveness than permission disguise

Oh I know! I don't know why I asked as everything else I have brought myself with no input from him... Lesson learned! To be honest perhaps I felt guilty because of that reason 🤣 let's hope he doesn't work out how much I've brought so far!

Aldi have some of the skip hop backpacks for £9.99 (normally around 15-20) they have the bee, bat, llama and dragon. They're very sweet for littlies.

Thanks @sorryiasked for the robotic arm, got one for my nephew.

I’ve had an email saying my Lisa angel order is on its way - only I can’t remember what I’ve ordered!! It will be a surprise when it arrives

My DS have school bags with laptop pockets from sports direct. Think they were about £25 possibly hot tuna. But they have lasted a couple of years of heavy use.

For skateboard deals there is currently a sale at www.skatehut.co.uk and my skateboarding mad son buys stuff from them so ok quality.

Bomb Cosmetics have free delivery today only with code DELIVERME for anyone wanting bath bombs etc

30% off Solace Jewellery today with code HOLIYAY

Skatehut a good choice (got one for teenage son last year). Actually good for skater type clothes too (Thrasher, Vanns etc) with good sale.

@Mamagotskills I got a sprocket last year. The price dropped to about £65 or £70. Get a camel camel camel alert set up for it. That's your best bet.

Amazon have good deals on the Playmobil police station sets.

Police station with prison, this is the older set apparently, rrp £79.99 down to £40.49, lowest price according to CCC was £39.99 in December 2017, so only 50p less, averages around £60.

Take along police station with bikes and helicopter, rrp £69.99 down to £38.39, lowest price according to CCC, averages around £50.

Just had an email to say the Dust & Things sale ends at midnight tonight if anyone was looking to grab a bargain from there.

@lotusbell you can go for a lighter blanket but the gravity effect just won't be as much. Mine came with a washable, removable cover.

Good price on the playmobil fire engine

This might be a very silly question but looking at the weighted blanket for DMIL as she struggles to sleep for more than 3 hours at a time. Do you use it instead of a duvet or as well as?

At the moment I use it instead of a duvet but when it's colder at night I'll add a cosy blanket or a duvet on top.

TopCashBack are doing their £2 bonus today for any orders £10+

Thanks @Bluewavescrashing - I'll order one for her today

@ClaraLane

Dr Botanicals still don’t have MY rhubarb soap back in stock. I’m not talking to them anymore 😭

ClaraLane, if this is the one (rose and rhubarb) then you are welcome to it for the cost of P&P.

I purchased it last year, in the big sale, and have just found it in the bottom of my extensive soap stash. It still smells lovely.

Am offline until much later, but feel free to message me.
