Thread 9 - the one with the thick willy scarf

[Reastie]

Thanks @Anydreamwilldo12 for thread title

please read the thread is moving so fast atm and it’s pretty hard to keep up! I was just wondering on people’s thoughts on this so did a super quick questionnaire here . I’m not sure we’ll find a perfect answer to suit everyone but would love your feedback on if it’s an issue or not.

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

I just checked *@Bridecilla* and they do (it was Prestonplayz you were after wasn’t it?).

@Sunshineskies yes, I've just looked again and still can't see any!

Do you have a link? I found one by googling, but the trustpilot reviews are absolutely terrible.

I thought I'd make a reusable toy advent calendar this year rather than buying one, because there aren't really any that are suitable. Now I'm struggling for ideas to fill it. Does anyone have any suggestions? Boys ages 4 and 18 months, want to be as cheap as possible without filling it with crap just for the sake of it.

I've already got some little cars and Happyland figures and Thomas mini trains. I was thinking of some little dinosaurs but all the sets I've found seem to come with a million trees that DS1 wont care for.

Thanks in advance. Wish I had some bargains to post but everyone beats me to it!

I've bought a load of mini Thomas from
Marketplace 30 plus a track thing for £5

Just a consideration... If there's concern over how fast these threads are moving, why not allow previous threads to actually be used after the new thread link is posted, rather than filling up the final 20-odd posts with random words and lyrics? Then everyone worries that people have moved over to the new thread, so reposts bargains on the new one (understandably).

We are probably wasting up to 50 posts per thread by doing that.

Thanks @HerGrapeness I was the other poster! I signed up to this site the other day and they gave a £5 off voucher but postage ended up being 4.75 so not much saving, so I left it but will check
On any reductions now - thank
You

Jess2638 if your eco friend has a garden maybe a rose bush to plant or a tree of some sort - maybe apple ? Or a selection of seeds to plant next year for vegetables/flowers

Penhaligon orders mine ordered earlier in week just arrived from DPD. I said gift but didn't ask/pay for boxes and came in 1 very large pretty posh box with tissue paper and all the products inside including my 4 free perfume samples - I'm happy with this as one of the gifts was for a friend which I'm putting with a book and I'll be able to package all in the box together.

lindt large chocolate ball from Amazon £10 I also ordered earlier in week and although it originally gave a delivery date of 17/10-17/11 I have received an email to say it is arriving today ....

[Manyoaks]

Just a thought for the advent calendars could you by one of the Melissa and Doug stamp collections split then up over days maybe with some ink pads. Not sure if the do Christmas themed stamps

[Chocolateteabag]

@lotsofthingstolearn - I got DBro this Whittling book a couple of years ago which he enjoyed.
