Argghhhh, I’m so sorry, I hope I haven’t lost you all! I was keeping a beady eye then got distracted trying to work out how to forward plan a Zoom call for work and invite someone, which should only take a few minutes but I’m incompetent and it took me far too long Blush .

@CarrotVan I hope it was the former!

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 Thanks

Has anyone seen anything like the naked marshmallow gel burner that’s not from them? Their bundle with the burner won’t be eaten. DS just likes normal marshmallows but I’d like to try and find the little burner if possible.

Congrats @Icantfindanewname - wonderful news! I hope the rest of your treatment goes smoothly and successfully too.

To those who ordered the baking mixes from Superfood Bakery but didn't get an email, check your junk mail folders - that's where I found mine! I did have to read it twice to figure out what they were saying though, haha!

Lakeland have a heated throw on an early Black Friday deal £39.99 down from £69.99

Congratulations @Icantfindanewname, wishing you all the best for the future xxx

XiCi · 12/11/2020 10:51

LetsPlayBamboozled do they send you a code once you've signed up? I've signed up but cant see how you get the discount. Theres some great beauty and perfume sets in there!

wizzbangfizz · 12/11/2020 10:56

Anyone seen an inexpensive colourful modelling clay set or know where I might find one?

TheGriffle · 12/11/2020 10:58

I’ve just taken a punt and ordered this pogo stick from Amazon. It’s on a lightening deal for £11 something then it had a 10% voucher you could tick so for just under a tenner I thought it was worth a go for my 3 & 7 year olds to share.

TheGriffle · 12/11/2020 10:58

Picture would be helpful!

LetsPlayBamboozled · 12/11/2020 11:02

XiCi Good question! I can't find anything in the T's and C's, the email just says sign up for exclusive access so I'm assuming once you have joined, if you are logged in, it will show you the discounted prices.. Sorry not more help I've not done it myself yet!

TheGriffle · 12/11/2020 11:02

I got this air dry clay @wizzbangfizz for dd for Christmas so can’t vouch for it as it’s not been played with yet but it looks a lovely set and fairly cheap I thought.

Thanks @TheGriffle I was hoping to come under a tenner but will take a lookGrin

Gooseysgirl · 12/11/2020 11:09

Any wine buffs on here? Am probably going to use my nectar double up points to stick up the booze cupboard - any particular Taste the Difference booze you would recommend?

Gooseysgirl · 12/11/2020 11:10

*stock not stick

TheCrow · 12/11/2020 11:10

@wizzbangfizz the works, the range and b&m all have modelling clay sets 🙂

@whitetilesmurf you can get the gel burners on Amazon. £5 for one or 3 for £8 with good reviews. Last year we picked up quite a few in the sales after Christmas via the Naked Marshmallow Company.

wizzbangfizz · 12/11/2020 11:13

@Gooseysgirl if you like white taste the diff cool water bay Sauvignon blanc is one of my faves!

Thanks for the second clay recommendation I will take a look!

The4ks · 12/11/2020 11:15

Aww that's brilliant pinkdaydreams, I'm glad.

We regularly have to sit in total darkness while he watches it go for ages haha!

I’ve just realised I have some nectar points (don’t use sainsbury’s much!). I’ve got the nectar app but can’t see where I double up. Could someone point me in the right direction please?

Blizy · 12/11/2020 11:28

Amazon had reduced the price of some Mario lego sets. I preferred one for my nephew for £20

Mumto3thatsme · 12/11/2020 11:29

Brilliant news @Icantfindanewname!

Check your emails, I’ve just had one from the Entertainer giving me 10% off of my wishlist x

I don't think it's possible to double up points now. They have a specific timeframe to convert points and then another specific week (I think?) to spend the voucher.
XiCi · 12/11/2020 11:36

You can double up on the Nectar App until 17th November. I'm not sure how because I cant get into the bloody thing at the moment but my mum did hers this morning
