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

@icanboogieboogiewoogie thank you!

Thanks @Jedstre and @badmarciathemarsha good to hear the positive reviews.
I am a terrible sleeper and usually wide awake long before my alarm but struggling to actually get out of bed.

Does anyone with a lumie clock have a partner who doesn't get up at the same time? I work shifts and don't think my OH wants to wake up when I do but they are appealing... Also, is it easy to change the alarm time? I get up at different times every day.

SnotRockets · 14/11/2020 20:53

Well I think my husband has asked for the impossible- a white chocolate orange. Seems like they were limited edition and nowhere sells them anymore?! 😫

HaggisTheGreat · 14/11/2020 20:54

@tentative3 We have a lumie and it’s a nice way to wake up. If your DH wore an eye mask, I think he could easily sleep through it. Definitely better than a noisy alarm when you aren’t the one who has to get up...

The Lidl milk frother has buttons with different settings for levels of heat and frothiness I think but I'm also undecided which one to go for! I think the Lidl one looks nicer 😂

Just looked they are out of stock.

I thought I was so fucking clever then

NoWordForFluffy · 14/11/2020 21:03

@SnotRockets Case of 12 for £27.59?

They have got minis though

1122christy · 14/11/2020 21:04

@SnotRockets check Premier shops if you have them there was deffo a bunch in there.

I really really need your help

I’m buying two presents for two little children who have lost their mum.
I’m going to buy them even if they are ‘full price’ as below, but I was wondering whether you could do your magic and help me spend less in postage, as it seems obscenely expensive.
It doesn’t look like I can find them new, so even second hand would work.
Here’s what they want:

Thank you ❤️❤️

SnotRockets · 14/11/2020 21:09

Wow you lot are fast! Thanks for all the choc orange recommendations! I don't know if I do have any premier stores near me- I'll have a google! I can't really afford to buy 12 of them haha!

Scoleah · 14/11/2020 21:09

Thank you for the marvel figures @Elphaba17 I've ordered along with some others Smile

Both Sainsbury's and Morrisons have had white chocolate orange's in recent weeks

My Sainsbury's still had loads in stock when I did the food shop today, in their Christmas food section. Might be worth looking in your Sainsbury's Smile
HoHoHolyMackerel · 14/11/2020 21:16

Thank you so much @uniqlo I will read it no doubt during the middle of the night baby feeds 😴

4Minions2CallMyOwn · 14/11/2020 21:18

Any Argos code spare please? I’m in desperate need of a bargain. If ones going spare it’d be appreciated Smile

EvilPea · 14/11/2020 21:18

@Foggyday124
Have you tried emailing world of books? I’ve ordered books before from them and got the older version than the pictured one So they have the newer frozen one pictured but may have the older one in stock.

Just a thought

smartiecake · 14/11/2020 21:21

@SnotRockets i got some white mini chocolate orange segments from Tesco yesterday

Foggyday124 · 14/11/2020 21:27

EvilPea oh thank you, I didn’t know about that, will do so now

Notlongnow1 · 14/11/2020 21:30

@foggyday124

Is it this one?

Notlongnow1 · 14/11/2020 21:39

@foggyday124

Struggling to screenshot info but apparently a shop in London called Gently Elephant have the super hero one in stock for £25. You can apparently call them on 020 8692 2881 to order but no idea on postage.
