Can’t find the robLox official annual, has everyone got the unofficial one?

X rocker gaming chairs-if you wait till black Friday that when there were reductions and when I bought one for ds.

I will say though their customer service is shocking, the base on ds one broke (rendering it useless as the ones on bases don’t stay upright on the floor) and it broke just over a year after he had it, we’ve tried since feb to get hold of x rocker with limited success, only this week have I actually had a human response who said they would send out a new base in 5-10 working days...we shall see if it arrives.

Mumto3thatsme · 17/10/2020 15:21

Any recommendations from where to buy gamers clothing? DS is after Xbox specific tops/joggers

Restlessinthenorth · 17/10/2020 15:23

@WisestIsShe thank you! I will wait for Black Friday then. I quite like the look of them myself!

TheLastStarfighter · 17/10/2020 15:28

Thank you @Legume and @Chocolateteabag - that’s the kids winter coats ordered, and I got them a couple of nice T-shirt’s too 😊

TheLastStarfighter · 17/10/2020 15:30

steph2412 · 17/10/2020 15:37

clouise89 · 17/10/2020 15:41

NoWordForFluffy · 17/10/2020 15:42

@PinkDaydreams, I need your help for the best Liverpool Sainsbury's to go to for Double Up for Switch games. I think I need one without an Argos in it. Rice Lane's selection was bloody dire this morning (as was its toy choice). I was in there for my flu jab, so I'm glad I had the chance to look.

@dontdrinkandprime

If anyone is buying from Mountain Warehouse I put some stuff in my basket midweek but didn't checkout. Got an email the next day offering me 10% off and had another email today offering 15% off. Just wondering how much the discount will go up to 😂
You can normally Google a 20% off one.

CoffeeAndEnnui · 17/10/2020 16:22

@Smileatthesmallthings, thanks for the House of Disaster outlet code. Now fighting a dramatic internal battle over how much I really need ALL the things...

Someaddedsugar · 17/10/2020 16:23

CoffeeAndEnnui · 17/10/2020 16:29

@steph2412, H&M Home (I bought mine in the physical shop but it's online too, I'm sure) had some really nice brown craft paper rolls with thick red stripes that will pair beautifully with all our Christmas ribbon bargains.

steph2412 · 17/10/2020 16:33

@CoffeeAndEnnui that looks perfect thank you!!

CoffeeAndEnnui · 17/10/2020 16:39

The H&M wrap is here along with the coordinating woodland animal wrap which I (just decided I desperately) need too!
