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

Sorry, jerky was for @Osquito

Sorry if this shouldn't be in here, or its already been mentioned but had an email from Tesco yesterday. Any Clubcard vouchers due to expire this month have been extended for six months

The dice one is not very squishy at all. More decorative than one you could sit on.

Big thank you for all the qvc hotel chocolat info, nursery presents sorted!

ritzbiscuits · 12/11/2020 14:10

Spotted these in Asda at lunch time. Very similar to an oodie, but a slimmer shape. They were only £12.50 and lovely fluffy quality. I thought they would be great as a budget option for teens?

I find Asda links don't tend to 'deep link' when I save them....if you type in 'oh deer' on the George site they will come up.

Has anyone seen any jelly cat bargains, dd has been asking for a jelly cat toy for years, she's now 16 🤣, would love to get a small one for her stocking, something silly, not a vegetable but maybe a insect? I know tk max had some a while ago bit haven't seen any there for a while and obviously they are closed at the moment.

Haveyoubrushedyourteeth · 12/11/2020 14:16

@lovemusic33 I bought my 17 year old the jellycat mince pie for her stocking, but couldn't resist, so gave her it the other day...she loves him, and I can see why!He came from Paperchase, and with a discount code was around 12£

Mrsmadevans · 12/11/2020 14:22

Bought a gorgeous unicorn jellycat from TKMaxx on Tuesday 7.99 , this is in Wales though . Am sure you will find some when they open , ours had loads of them. Didn't see any quirky ones though 🤔

Lovemusic33 · 12/11/2020 14:28

We saw some fish ones in tk Max before lockdown, she liked those and I think they had some grass hoppers but haven’t seen them since. She likes insects and reptiles but would probably also like the mince pie 😁

mummyof2boys30 · 12/11/2020 14:30

Does anyone know what day lidls offers start. See they are getting some usbourne books in for 3.99

[quote Osquito]@wizzbangfizz
B&M have big packs of multicoloured kids clay or play dough, not sure if it’s the air drying stuff or not though.

Can anyone recommend either a beef jerky/biltong one-off gift box or short subscription? Thank you![/quote]

Fuckingfuckssake · 12/11/2020 14:33

@Reastie nearly done here!

SkintSanta · 12/11/2020 14:33

@XiCi the discount applied on mine when I clicked through to checkout. It came off automatically

1122christy · 12/11/2020 14:37

@wizzbangfizz my kids love making clay models and personally we prefer polymer oven baked clay. Sometimes the air dry clay can dry up in the tubs. You can get sets on Amazon ranging from £10-20 depending on how many you want. I also got my kids a cutting mat A4 size from the works around £3 and some cheap tools of set doesn't come with it.

Haveyoubrushedyourteeth · 12/11/2020 14:38

He's got lovely little corduroy legs and a very pleasing squish! The code I used was BBOCT20LT.

Hi all, sorry I haven't had chance to scan through the last few pages yet, I'll do that this evening.
Just wondering if anyone had any recommendations for wireless earbuds for DD8, cheap but not cheap IYKWIM
Thanks in advance

HideHide · 12/11/2020 14:42

Spotted these in Costco today - brilliant price and super thick and cosy. Looked pretty sizeable for most kids (or maybe a small adult at a push Wink

Rubyroo73 · 12/11/2020 14:45

@Icantfindanewname - great news! 🥳

spub · 12/11/2020 14:52

Love, love, love this thread. A happy place amidst a terrible year. Need a Jo Malone pomegranate noir 200g candle for a birthday next week. Timing crap as before Black Friday but looking for a discount if anyone can please help? Smile

Dolphintrainer · 12/11/2020 14:53

@FatimaLovesBread there are some in the Typo sale. No idea of the quality.

LampLass · 12/11/2020 15:00

@lovemusic33 our local wildlife Trust online shop has a couple of insect related Jellycats reduced... worm, tarantula and fly? www.nottinghamshirewildlife.org/shop#!/Soft-Toys-Birds-and-Animals/c/47713029

MsMiaWallace · 12/11/2020 15:05

Heads up, looks like Aldi is getting some Kevin the carrot goods for sale online on the 15th.
Doesn't say when in store though.

margaritasbythesea · 12/11/2020 15:12

For the poster looking for glowing toys I just saw this in Tesco
