For theM&S gin lovers, I was in M&S in Braehead near Glasgow this morning, and they had both types.
Also that Penhalgions site is like wrestling with a pig! It is really awful

Anyone else who ordered the M&S gin online and was charged for delivery, I just messaged them on Facebook and they refunded it. The same thing happened to me when I ordered a port gift set and a few clothing bits so I’ve got x2 delivery back for a couple of minutes’ work 😊

What did you say to get it back?

Snap @ScoobySnacker I bought that play doh ice cream set this morning from Argos. Great price and present. It’s still full price in Tesco

@FoxBadger the zebra crossing is just a piece of plastic sheeting so it would be good for outdoors, it would probably need to be weighted down if it was windy though, here's a photo with my first Christmas magazine of the year to show the size

I have not had these before, but the reviews seem and fine and for 0.67p (or less if you subscribe and save) for a stocking filler I thought why not!

Sorry for the long link.

@CosmicVagina

My Advent calendars from Arran have arrived, they are fantastic. They look and smell gorgeous, I'm said they aren't for me!

They look gorgeous! Did you use a promotion code can I ask pls?

Lots of lovely things in Home Bargains today! Christmas glasses and mugs, loads of peppa pig toys, some Brio World and a little set of Geomag. The Geomag box is really small (like VHS size) but it's 22 pieces which I don't think is that small. Wish I'd bought those instead of the massive boxes I bought my nephews now it's looking like I'm going to have to post them 😂

My Jewel Unique earrings have arrived while I've been at work. Looking forward to wearing them! Thanks to the poster who posted about them

I'm looking for a posh (ish) black leather belt for my husband since he successfully lost enough weight to need a new one bastard. If anyone sees one, do let me know. Thanks

@spam88
You're better with bigger geomag sets although it's a pain to post. That has 22 pieces but some are panels so there are actually only 8 balls and 8 rods, which means you can't really build any thing unless buying as an add-on.

Hermione doll just arrived. Great quality and amazing price. My niece will be delighted. Thanks PP who posted it

Pleased with the gift tags I ordered from amazon. Pack of 100 for £3.99

I'm not getting the £10 Amazon prime advertised on my app? I saw it the other day but can't see it anywhere now. Has the offer run out?

@Onlyahalfbottle thank you so much that looks a great little set up for my youngest. I appreciate the pic

Pink I received my £10 credit via an email sent to me today from Amazon

@TheDrsDocMartens I just said that I had spent over £50 but been charged delivery so had there been a mistake

@PattyPan was there a minimum spend required to get back the delivery costs? As I only ordered the one gin gift set (wish I had ordered more now!) thanks

Just got this lovely mat for my patio doors for £10.95 with the Cox and Cox referral code. Really pleased with it.

Some offers received through the post today...

My buns have arrived! Very substantial box syitable for a small gift. About the size of a flannel and much better looking than the other box for the brownies by the same company. Photo for comparison.
