Thanks @14yearsandcounting that looks like a great offer but the calendar is a tradition so I think I'll stick with that.
@ButtonMoonLoon I haven't heard of them before but the trust pilot reviews look ok.

LOL Surprise Remix hair flip dolls are now £15 on John Lewis and The Entertainer. Normally £18.99

Not sure if it's already been mentioned but Birchbox have their buy one get one free for October with code GETFRUITY - I've had them the last couple of years and they are great for stocking extras once I've stolen the bits I want of course!!

Yes I've ordered from here before!
Genuine site! Smile

Has anyone had their fiver Friday T-shirts from Rocket and Rose, please? I know the website says up to a month so I’m not worrying, but more curious as to whether that is likely or a worst case scenario

angstyalways · 17/10/2020 22:11

@mrsdavegrohl I can pm you a 15% student discount for pandora if that would help?

Muddlewitch · 17/10/2020 22:12

Some of the Wax Lyrical candles have come back down - not the same ones as before but the 'snow' and 'fallen candles' ones are £4-£5. I know lots of us wished we had got more last time!

*fallen leaves

NotEnoughTime · 17/10/2020 22:18

I've just ordered four candles, thanks Muddlewitch Smile

Isadora2007 · 17/10/2020 22:23

No @deeplybaffled I’ve not either. Well reminded. I’m sure they’ll arrive but am a bit worried one of them will be too small so hopefully it will arrive soon in case I need to organise a replacement gift.

CarrotVan · 17/10/2020 22:23

I would say it’s fairly likely @deeplybaffled

It’s a very small company so if they get hammered with orders they really slow down

lotusbell · 17/10/2020 22:25

@nicky2512, aaaargh sorry only just got back on MN. Have pmd you, hope it's not too late!

No, I’m still waiting for mine.
sorryiasked · 17/10/2020 22:31

Has anyone seen a wall calendar that's like Where's Wally but not IYSWIM? Can't find anything except an American one called hidden art which isn't quite right.

Thanks for the superdrug heads up, I ended up buying quite a few things in their gift range at half price.

mrsdavegrohl · 17/10/2020 22:32

Ooo that would be great @angstyalways ! Thank you

nicky2512 · 17/10/2020 22:39

@lotusbell Not too late! I will order now. Thank you very much. That really helps!

lotusbell · 17/10/2020 22:57

Glad you can use it, @nicky2512!

makingmiracles · 17/10/2020 23:11

@Jedstre i ordered ds gaming chair from Argos not x rocker directly, might be worth checking both on Black Friday. Iirc the saving on ds chair was about £40/50 off so worth waiting for!

thaegumathteth · 17/10/2020 23:28

@makingmiracles it's the 100% unofficial one I've ordered

woodwaj · 17/10/2020 23:30

Ive used Rocket and Rose for a while now their estimate is usually accurate (or just after) but rarely early!

Elskerdeg · 18/10/2020 03:39

Aldi toys are now online!
Main thing I wanted was the Bing PJ's and they are currently the only thing sold out Sad

MummyPig89 · 18/10/2020 05:58

Just did my Aldi order, got quite a few toys and the nativity scene. Wish we had space for some of the big wooden toys!

BeGoneDom · 18/10/2020 07:18

@Elskerdeg home bargains had a pair of Bing PJ's last week. Couldn't tell you anything about them but I remember seeing them.

Ohhgreat · 18/10/2020 07:38

Aldi toy order done! Thanks for the heads up!

BooSurprise · 18/10/2020 07:44

So wish I had smaller children to buy some of those Aldi wooden toys!
