Thread 20 - the one with the reminder to put the bargain info *in bold*

[Reastie]

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

Can I ask how do you know if trust pilot reviews are genuine please? I want to buy glasses from designer glasses boutique, checked trust pilot and they seem like a good company to buy from but on the website it says 2020 which it seems to me unlikely to build up nearly 400 positive reviews in such a short space of time or am I being too suspicious?

@ClaraTheImpossibleGirl thanks for the Bettys free delivery tip, I’ll hold for a couple of weeks 🤞🏻

[Wiifitmama]

Winewolfhowls - I have seen loads of colour changing ones and funky ones. I am not having trouble picking a design. It is more about the quality. When I check reviews there is always such a mixture between glowing reviews and terrible reviews. I don't know who to trust! I need one that won't break right away. There are some reliable brands out there but they tend to be really boring adult type umbrellas.

[ClaraTheImpossibleGirl]

L'Occitane have 3 baubles for £30 here - usually £12 each - free delivery over £25 too.

I so wish I lived near a Bettys @JoanneCofton and @AintOverUntilTheCatLadySings, although probably better for my waistline that I don't

Has anyone had their Rocket & Rose Fiver Friday t shirts from October 2nd? Still no sign of mine; they did say it would be a month or so but I emailed them last week for an update with no response I'm glad they are for Christmas presents rather than anything sooner!

@edwardrocks do you mean a ps4 or the new ps5? Stock informer website is your best bet.

I'm unreasonably upset not to have managed to get the new Levin the carrot family members online yesterday. Dd has always received them from the elf and I think this will be her last year believing they're going on eBay for £££££. I know they'll be in store in a couple of weeks but we haven't been in a shop since March and it seems silly to risk it for a vegetable teddy!

We have had good experiences with Hatley umbrellas, and lots of fun patterns

[Wiifitmama]

TakeMeToYourLiar, thank you for the recommendation. I just looked but they are stick umbrellas rather than folding compact umbrellas. They won't fit in a backpack.

Ah sorry, missed that detail

[IfyoushouldmeetaCrocodile]

@Wiifitmama Try Totes for umbrellas, I've had mine years and it's still going strong.

[EnglishRose1320]

We've not had this exact umbrella but have had other umbrellas from the science museum that have lasted for years and are compact @Wiifitmama

Lynx offer today of gift packs as Deal of the day on Amazon. The Africa one includes a mini portable speaker for 9.99. Got to be good for someone.

I have a strange one I need help with! My 12 year old (boy) has asked for an umbrella! I want a funky one but also one that will actually not be flimsy and break. I need it to be the foldable kind as we have no car and are on public transport so he need to fit it in his back pack. Amazon is overwhelming with options!

DS now 12 wanted a portable umbrella when he started school. Although he was clear that black was coolest. He has an umbrella and a pac a mac as well. We have got through 2 or 3 umbrellas as they aren't very durable, I couldn't especially recommend one, sorry.

John Lewis do mini umbrellas, they are good at replacing stuff if it breaks.

[Freshcoatofpaint]

Do Tkmax ever do free delivery does anyone know?

[Fuckingfuckssake]

Thanks @SpamIAm

[VividImagination]

@ClaraTheImpossibleGirl I’m still waiting for my Rocket and Rose order. I’ve messaged them twice and had a message back they are running late but she had hoped to have them all done by last Friday so hopefully soon. Two of mine are for birthdays before Christmas but if it comes to it I can swap their birthday and Christmas presents round.

[Wiifitmama]

Thanks - I will look at Totes and the science museum
