Thanks @allatonce99 for thread title

Just a reminder you can watch the thread by clicking on ‘watch this thread’ at the top of the first message. It’s much easier for everyone than so many place marking every time which can use up a fair chunk of each thread to scroll through Thanks

@flutterbean
I received 1 confirmation email and then the next day 1 dispatched email

Lemming20 · 26/09/2020 09:21

@flutterbean yes I had one FFS confirmation email and blades arrived next day. Maybe you have a mega bargain heading your way? Grin

[quote Dolphintrainer]@Lazysundayafternoons I have a 7 year old and I’m thinking about getting him a den building kit for Christmas. Several types on amazon and various price ranges. Would that sort of thing be an idea?[/quote]
We bought our ds the den building kit from the works a couple of years ago, he is 7 now. He loves it and we use it a lot. Only thing I would say is we bought a second pack so we can make bigger dens and you need to be careful to hold the sticks near the end when putting them together as the can bend. My 2 dc love it.

The one with the buns and guns!!! Grin

M&S gin hamper back in stock but listed for £40 now

Looks like we've got a great deal as still no cancellation emails

TheGirlWhoLived · 26/09/2020 09:29

@ShoppingBasket I’m after attack on the burrow too. I’m hoping Smyths do some kind of toy event, even if you have to order/pay online and then pick up in store (this is the only way around the social distancing thing I suspect!) as it’s a Smyths only set, no one else can price match and it’s £90!

There’s a couple of boxes of slime and some roller skates I need too.

On that subject does anybody know whether there is a huge difference between cheap toy-shop skates (4 wheel jobs with a brake bumper at the front) or ones from a skate website that work out about £15-20 dearer?

TheDrsDocMartens · 26/09/2020 09:38

Me too on attack on the burrow

Notlongnow1 · 26/09/2020 09:48

Chrysanthemum5 · 26/09/2020 09:54

@TheDrsDocMartens thanks for those recommendations for small shops I'm trying to support small businesses where I can

Also I didn't think I needed the buns, but hey ho turns out I did

shipperssss · 26/09/2020 10:02

[quote Lockdownhairdontcare]@shipperssss bugger that! Went to order one for DD...[/quote]
I'm going to see how cheap I can get towelling and knock some up myself, they won't be perfect that's for sure but hopefully cheaper that what we've found so far Hmm

Ewock · 26/09/2020 10:04

I keep missing the buns!

Ewock · 26/09/2020 10:06

I haven't had much to add to the threads this year. However I am going rl shopping on Monday so hopefully I will find some bargains to add. I feel I owe you all at least one decent bargain as with all your amazing finds I am nearly done and at a fraction of the cost. With the news now advising people to get organised asap I am so grateful that these threads exist.

shipperssss · 26/09/2020 10:09

@AndddddHerewegoagain thankyou they're lovely!

Thegirlhasnoname · 26/09/2020 10:11

Buns arrived this morning and given my city has just gone into local lockdown I don’t think they will last until the Christmas season!

The box is pretty sizeable so if anybody was wanting to put them in a stocking it might not fit!

LyraSilvertongueBelacqua · 26/09/2020 10:12

@ShoppingBasket @TheGirlWhoLived another one after The Burrow here! So far it's all that's been asked for...

I think smyth's usually have a Black Friday event but I don't know if they would include an exclusive HP set in it.

LyraSilvertongueBelacqua · 26/09/2020 10:12

Also, can anyone remind me what the decent turtle doves offers were please?

flutterbean · 26/09/2020 10:14

Thanks @4Minions2CallMyOwn and @Lemming20

No money has been taken from my bank yet either! Have emailed them and will see what they can do.

livingthegoodlife · 26/09/2020 10:19

@Givealittlebit The Cheese Shed do lovely cheese hampers, wrapped in waxed paper with a menu. They come in a nice box or you can pay extra for a wicker basket. You can also add knives/chutney etc. I've both received one and sent them and it's always been good.
