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

Also, just in case anyone hasn't realised about the Oi Frog Top Trumps - it's Top Trumps Junior, so much fewer cards for the actual 'top trumps' game (it comes with other games/activities I think?).

Sorry if it seems like I'm implying people are daft for not realising - it may well be that's what you're looking for! - but I looked into it for my nephew as he loves the 'Oi...' books, but he probably needs some more cards for the game now. Maybe his younger sister would like it...probably too young actually...can you tell I just think it's cool??

@tinyradish take a look at Mapominoes. My DD10 loves it. It takes a bit longer to play than Dobble and the recipient it much less likely to already have it. Otherwise I’d also recommend Mind The Gap.

slithytoveisascientist · 16/11/2020 12:58

@Lovemusic33 a top trumps and an annual?

CarrotVan · 16/11/2020 13:02

@Grytviken The boy initially said they were nice but changed his mind and MrCarrot concurs with you about the banana chips being rancid

@Dolphintrainer the banana chips are small and in the main mix. There was only one bag in the box

Hotel Chocolate have 20% off selected online collections!

CamdenLurker · 16/11/2020 13:19

Anyone know if Dermalogica or any stockists will be having a Black Friday event? Last year I got 3 for 2 on the clear start range and it's the only thing that helps DD's skin.

Obviously I'm going to buy it, but if I could find it on offer that would help.

Thanks

Thank you, that will be perfect. I think I got him trump cards last year. Will get him these and some sweets/chocolate to go with it.

Thread 20!!!!

I can’t remember who was looking for a list of online theatre events? I found this list of ONLINE CHRISTMAS CAROL SERVICES Some are free, others ticketed or donation.

BicycleMadeForTwo · 16/11/2020 13:24

Matalan just cancelled my Christmas pyjamas order from last week 😭 and I’m still waiting on an order from IWOOT from the end of October. Have put the tree up to counteract my annoyance!

Famousthehero · 16/11/2020 13:28

Anybody looking for card games, we really enjoy this one as adults, the box says 8+.
It's a strategy game where you try to lay cards to make a tunnel to treasure, but one of the group is secretly a saboteur. There are cards which help and cards which hinder. It's a really fun and simple game.
There's a good price on it at the moment, if you click through to other sellers I think it's a few pence cheaper there.

Can anyone suggest where I might get a nice purse for dd3 who's 17 please? My mind has gone completely blank!

aw93 · 16/11/2020 13:42

Does anyone know where I could get clothes for a Lori doll, preferably around £5 or under. I think they're similar in size to Lottie dolls so clothes for them could work too. Thanks!

NotEnoughTime · 16/11/2020 13:42

thelegohooverer It wasn't me that was looking for this but I wanted to say thanks for posting. I have forwarded the link on to my sisters and we may end up all watching it at the same time as we probably won't be able to get together in person this Christmas.

caffeineanddryshampoo · 16/11/2020 13:43

@Haveyoubrushedyourteeth I personally like House of DIsaster for funky purses. Think I bought mine from Lisa Angel a couple of years ago.

steph2412 · 16/11/2020 13:45

For anyone who ordered the Gin from the drop store how long did it take to come? I'm waiting for my order and haven't received any further information apart from a confirmation email

Madonnawiththebigboobies · 16/11/2020 13:51

@steph2412 I ordered on the 4th and it was delivered on the 10th . I recieved an e mail the day before to say it was being delivered by DHL. I ordered another 2 on Saturday.

Haveyoubrushedyourteeth · 16/11/2020 13:54

@caffeineanddryshampoo thankyou such a lot, some of those are gorgeous and just the kind of thing I was looking for!

steph2412 · 16/11/2020 13:54

Thanks @Madonnawiththebigboobies I've actually receive a tracking link from dhl to say a parcel will be delivered 2m but it has not information on yet but I've also receive an email from typo to say that order has been dispatched so I assumed the dhl was the typo order! Hopefully it will turn up soon!!

Madonnawiththebigboobies · 16/11/2020 14:01

My e mail on the 9th came from DHL not drop store. It didn't say what they were delivering. I checked the order number with the drop store confirmation e mail and it matched. Maybe try that . If I'm making sense?

TheCrow · 16/11/2020 14:11

Went to Lidl for the milk frother and they didn't have them in yet, asked someone who said that sometimes non-essentials are being delayed and check back on Thursday. They had all the other new kitchen stuff in like the mixers and cake slicers. Has anyone else managed to pick one up?

Duckyneedsaclean · 16/11/2020 14:14

Nintendo switch £239.99 at asda lite also reduced

TheCrow · 16/11/2020 14:18

Actually just looked at lidl's website and it says milk frother is due next week Sunday 22nd 😳 I was sure it was down for the 15th!

steph2412 · 16/11/2020 14:23

@Madonnawiththebigboobies they match thank you!! The typo delivery must be coming via another courier! Thanks for your help!

myhobbyisouting · 16/11/2020 14:25

@thelegohooverer fabulous! Thank you. I quite fancy streaming a carol service
