Thread 16 - the one with slick willies

[Reastie]

I still have no idea if that’s a typo, euphemism or actual shop
@XFPW 😬

please post any bargain info IN BOLD to make it easier to scroll through the thread.

To make things bold you:
Put a star each side of what you want to make bold like this but without the space between the star and the writing *

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

@lexloofah I ordered about a dozen of them. Off the recommendation on here I had a look on Facebook for a few more details of size and what they are actually like in the bath. They look better than lush, and worked out at about half the price. I’ll post a picture when they arrive in case there’s anyone else undecided.

@Ewock you can often pick up bundles of costumes on Facebook selling sites in really good conditions if you don’t mind second hand.

A long shot, but any discounts, codes, referrals for East?

A Great Little Trading Company discount here:

@lexloofah she means the jewellery type. I have no idea about jewellery for small girls as she’s only been interested in toys up until now...

Found some matching Christmas dresses on studio but it's asking me to create an account- is there a way to just buy something without making a credit account?

Not sure if any use to any one, saw this pop up on Facebook. Jenny juice are doing goodie bags (10 items for £10), quirky jewellery possibly good stocking fillers for teens. jennyjuice

You can create an account and pay on arrival (that’s what I do) so not a credit account, i think you can pay it straight away. When you buy the item it gives you the option at check out.

Are clothes included in the Sainsbury's double up? Could get dress up then of you have nectar points

Thanks everyone will try Sainsbury's and Argos. And hadn't even thought of facebook.

Can anyone tell me if there was a Flavourly code mentioned? I was about to order their introductory mixed case which is a good deal at £29.95 but something made me stop!
Either that or a different website? I need a selection of beer but i don't think it matters what they are or where from

For those asking about Mrs Snowballs thought a pic might be helpful. Here are a few of what I've got at the moment.

@Ewock

Hi can anyone recommend some decent priced dressing up costumes. My dd has asked for some princess dresses like Snow white and Cinderella. Thanks

I bought DD some great Disney Princess dresses from Matalan, Tesco and George at Asda. She preferred wearing them to the 'scratchy' expensive Disney dress she was bought by my Mum.

Lakeland codes …

@Ewock eBay is brilliant for second hand dressing up clothes, I get them regularly and on average pay £2-£3.50 plus postage per dress and brilliant condition. I think we have every single princess now and multiples of some as 2 dds. I tend to go for Asda George and TU ones

@Ewock there's a brand called 'Elsa & Anna' on Amazon and I can't rate them enough! They are gorgeous dresses, properly made with layers and layers of fabric, and really good prices IMO. We've had the below for 2 years, and it is lovely and stretchy mesh. Also have three others (Anna, Rapunzel and Cinderella) - these ones even have zips.

@TheRealMrsJamieFraser

This is a really good offer! You could always order two different varieties using two different emails if you want more

@NeedMoreTea this is the one I have got for my 4 year old.

HOTUKDEALS15 gets your £15 off, no minimum spend, at Red Letter Days from tomorrow. Makes a Prezzo 3 course meal for 2 with wine £15 so hoping to order this for my brother and sister in law.

@17caterpillars1mouse M&S have some Paddington pyjamas on their website currently. Some sizes sold out but some smaller sizes still in stock

Any ideas for a 9 year old who is always singing and dancing? We have a Bluetooth microphone, guitar, various musical instruments (although any ideas for unusual instruments would be good) and a Spotify subscription. Don’t want an Alexa but can’t think of any other ideas.

Not buns but chocolate brownie kit £2.50! Sorry for the hateful link, salted caramel cupcake kit also £2.50

@Avoca76 do you have a ukulele? :)

Yep 😊 our house is full of musical stuff! Not sure how it happened!

@Avoca76 do you have any consoles, how about Singstar or dance games for those? Sure you can find similar for any computer but my children are too young yet so not got any details sorry.
We used to love dance dance revolution in the arcades but can't see a dance mat with good reviews.
Instruments wise, accordion (and ear plugs for you)? Drum box that you sit on? The kalimba makes a lovely gentle noise if you think they'd be into it...
