@margaritasbythesea - he’s about to turn 6 so 6-7 I guess. Although on the small side.

Thanks @LiverbirdNo1 - they look great. Am wondering if the 5-6 will be big enough for him. I think that brand is large fitting.

Oh just seen @lamthesister - thanks for the separates tip too!

Thanks for the Matalan cashback tip off, have ordered 1 xmas pressie and lots of useful boring things we need like duvets. Does the cashback track at a low amount and then get adjusted to the full amount? Says it's £2 cashback when it should be about £40.

A Buckley tip, for anything that isn't in fiver friday, code THERESEANNE15 gets you 15% off.

There is a bunch of stuff in the SALE including some nice looking bracelets at £6-8 and it works on them (so basically, on anything that isn't £5).

Shipping is free over £40, and they do free returns (apart from earrings).

Not a bargain as such but cheaper than the Disney store.
Asda have toy story and princesses tree decorations at £3 each.
Got the alien and rex. 😊

Weeklydeals4less have advent calendars, including McVities biscuits £10, Kellogg's £14, and Barbie and Hot Wheels £8, free delivery.

I haven't used the site before, but it has very good reviews on Trust Pilot.

@Thedarknightsaredrawingin / you must be from NI with that name?!

I'd recommend an electric hot water bottle for your friend, (they are fab) and a book, wine, chocolate or a plant

I'd say a neom candle if you got the qvc offer? Or chocolate - I hear Tony's is supposed to be good but not tried it yet.

Or let us know the kind of things she's into - there's not much luxury you can really get under £20 although peters yard crackers for cheese & some chutney would be nice.

@littlestpogo, there are whales on the gorgeous polar animals PJs from the Whooli Chen for H&M range and they have age 6-8 years in stock. GUTTED they won't fit my DD because they are just stunning!

I have a feeling I read in the small print that the maximum cashback was £25?

@caffeineanddryshampoo I've had the same issue . Its not tracking the cash back correctly ?

Mine is tracking low too, it did that on TopCashback previously though, and then rose.
However, i was confused by the two cashback things on quidco, one mentioned a maximum of 25 pound cashback. So i made myself trim my basket down to 50 quid.

@CoffeeAndEnnui - oh my they are gorgeous. They won’t let me add 4-6 . Thinking of trying the 6-8 and a hot wash

H&M are on the small side

You could buy them- try against current pjs and return? Or just keep them to grow into

Pjs are meant to be big- you need to get maximum wear value!

True willsantabecoming his big brother has the 6-8 side but agree pjs are meant to be big!

Tbh I quite want some in that design

@itwasthebestoftimes thank you!

So run out of a clean pair for him tonight so that he has to wear his brothers, that will give you an idea?

Are they H&M- they are on the small side

Doh I read the terms and conditions after I placed the order that £25 was the most cashback you could claim. Have tried cancelling order and then re-ordering and DH order part of it. What a palaver.

Yes we have existing H&M - agree they are skinny fit so even the bigger size won’t fall down!

I’ve cracked and bought them . I know he will absolutely love them even if big. Many thanks to everyone for suggestions and thanks for mentioning these @CoffeeAndEnnui - honestly they are just perfect for DS!

@ItWasTheBestOfTimes

I have a £10 off £30 Boden code if anyone wants it.

Yes please! Will you pm me it x

My boys have had loadsa H&M PJs in the past.
They're deffo on smaller side so ordering bigger would be a good shout. They're great actually & last well.

@lolarabbit thank you, off for a look now!

FFS money off code on referral thread if anyone wants it x

That's friction free shaving subscriptions x

Can someone explain? I don’t understand Tesco site. Haven’t shopped there for years but now wanted to have a look at clothing sale and all it says „Find your nearest store”? Is it not possible to shop online any more?

@Jacopone - nope, no F&F shopping online anymore.

They scrapped Tesco Direct too (for non-grocery shopping), but have bought some non-grocery stuff back into the main Tesco site now.
