I'd love a Hotel Chocolat code if anyone has one. Thanks!

I’ll PM you @nellyburt

Head massager spider things in Primark for £1

@coffeetofunction on amazon page, click on 3 lines at top left of page and scroll down to amazon storefront. I've just panic bought bamboo toilet rolls (2@£5 each) and got the £10 credit email straight away so effectively getting free toilet rolls. As a pp said echo dots now £18.99 on the prime offers bit of site.

ScoobySnacker · 12/10/2020 13:57

Just a word of warning on Hotel Chocolat to check the dates. My order today has a best before of 16 October! I am in the process of requesting a refund.

TheCrow · 12/10/2020 13:58

@Itwasntme101 thank you so much, was sad to miss out yesterday but just ordered the dot as my birthday present from my parents, was looking for a wireless speaker anyway so this is great!

JaneyJimplin · 12/10/2020 13:58

Quite a good haul at home bargains this morning. Best of all were these boxes of godiva chocolates. Big box £4.99, small box £2.99 - roughly half the usual price and look impressive.
Picture attached, ruler for scale.

@WatchingTVagain don’t mean to be a killjoy but you might want to read the reviews for the bamboo paper. Non issue if using for wiping noses and binning but could be costly if flushed! Just thought I’d mention it as I nearly bought them too but just happened to read the reviews which put me off.

@thebrightestcoloursfillmyhead

Can anyone recommend a hoverboard for a 6 year old please? Not sure whether to go for a board or one of the bundle deals with a go kart etc. Budget £200-250. Thank you.
@thebrightestcoloursfillmyhead My 9 and 7 year olds have hoverboards with go kart attachments and both love them. I would definitely go for the go kart as well because neither of them are able to just use the hoverboard on its own. I got them separately, the hoverboards are Nilox brand and were ~£100 on Groupon. The go kart bits were ~£40 on Amazon. One thing though, I got one go kart attachment with a single wheel at the front and one with 2 wheels at the back so it ‘drifts’ around corners. Both boys hate that one and will only share the single wheel version, so I would start with that if I were you. Hope that helps
Restlessinthenorth · 12/10/2020 14:23

@ScoobySnacker good luck....I've had this with hotel chocolat before....the dates are ridiculously short. I order something one week to give as a birthday gift the next; they would have been out of date on the day I was due to give them! They claim it's for quality reasons but they stock in the shop never have such short dates

ScoobySnacker · 12/10/2020 14:28

Yes I'm not happy @Restlessinthenorth it only arrived today and goes out of date Friday!

ScoobySnacker · 12/10/2020 14:32

However as I was typing my last post a refund for the full amount has been sent!! So I guess its chocolate for tea tonight Grin

Restlessinthenorth · 12/10/2020 14:37

@ScoobySnacker you must be a better complainer than me! Haha....enjoy those crocs!

Lockdownlumpy · 12/10/2020 14:39

Someone was after neom, they are on brandalley today
Don have time to check right now if they are decent deals tho.

ScoobySnacker · 12/10/2020 14:42

I'm happy with that and they gave me £5 off a future spend. Cant say fairer than that. Maybe I should get a job on rogue traders Grin

@Madonnawiththebigboobies

@lolarabbit TKMaxx is excellent for bamboo socks.

weshallneversurrender · 12/10/2020 15:03

not sure if its any good to anyone, but I have just been sent SPEND5 for free delivery on orders over £5.00 from The Card Factory

gizmosslave · 12/10/2020 16:06

Tesco's have a half price sale on ALL toys from 19/10

JaneyJimplin · 12/10/2020 16:19

Not Christmas, but ds1 has been invited to the birthday party of a girl in his class. She is 10. Apparently she likes barbie and nice stationery. I looked at barbies in Home Bargains today and couldn't bring myself to purchase the Abnormal Thigh Gap Barbie they had on offer. I'm not used to buying for girls - can anyone suggest somewhere that sells nice stationery for a 10y old girl? Thanks.
