Thank you so much for the link I8toys!

I just came on to question the "intimate pocket" too. It gets pretty cold in my house in the winter, perhaps this would negate having to get naked at any point.

Some of the Smashers Dino Eggs are reduced in Argos atm- the orange one series 3 is £10.99 down from £20 and the mini play set is £7.50 down from £10

Not sure how good this is but amazon have felt Christmas trees too!

Thank you @tentative3! I don't know how I feel about a lucky dip colour though hmm I will need to think.

Did I miss a Lego code at JL?

They also do felt snowmen!

I have two candles coming too

I've also succumbed to the candles. They look lovely and are at a good price compared to the others of the same size.

Is the Brand Alley code mentioned above only for new customers?

I’m keeping an eye on the great hall too. I looked on camel camel camel & the lowest it’s been was around £65 Nov last year- guessing this may have been Black Fri?

The Great Hall is £76 on John Lewis but has 15% off spend on Lego under £200 and 20% over £200 if you have their loyalty card

Harry Potter UNO down to £5:99 on amazon

Christ. Just bought 2 candles

If I don't have Prime but have £20+ of items in my basket will I be able to get the buns without paying P&P next time they drop?

If so, please keep up the bun klaxon every time they drop in price

@peasando I am resisting the candles for this exact reason. I remember you from the puppets

Argh I really need that 1,500 piece Lego set that’s only £25 in Asda. I can’t actually get to one and I can’t find it on the website. Is it this one? I might be able to send a grandparent in for it.

I've bought two candles too

I have a JL card but can't see any Lego discount?

Yup it's that one!

Resisting the candles. It’s really hard 🐑😆

@Lemming20 turns out I'm very easily led.

To be fair I love the damn puppets.

And the buns.

And I'm sure I will love the candles - in the end I got 2 of the baby it's cold outside and 2 of the ski lodge - similar but not quite as good discount. Idiot.

Anyone got any bright ideas for discounts on Korres? We usually stock up on holidays to Greece but obviously that hasn't happened this year 🙁

I’m loving my Celtic & Co slippers bought about a month ago, thanks to this thread. They are fab so far and am expecting them to last. I wear slippers ALL the time so am prepared to spend a bit more as got sick of spending out on cheap pairs that only last a winter and have to be chucked away.

You will buy the candles...

I did buy the (4) candles!

Did I see upthread that the Asda toy sale ends today??

Cute little tea bags for hamper?? Stumbled across them so can't vouch but seem a sweet little box? Tea

@peasando
QVC stock Korres and if you’re a new customer you can get £5 off using code FIVE4U 😊 I love the perfume and there’s a nice set on there with the olive blossom perfume and body moisturiser. I treated myself to it a couple of months ago (no Greek holiday for me this year either 😆☹️)

Amazon hoodie blanket

I may just have bought two!
