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

Here’s Barbarara’s instructions from last year on doing clicky links:

Close double square brackets

Like this
[[www.amazingbargains.com bargain ]] but with no space after/before the brackets.

Any ideas for where to get a small table top table football? I don’t want to pay too much as it’s an extra but don’t want one which will fall apart straight away. Thanks

@Tailrunner

I am looking for a cheap, second hand iPhone for DD(11) to have now she is taking her sister to school. Someone told me I need an iphone 6 or later as the iphone 5 (which she wants) doesn't update properly anymore but I'm not very fussy about which model. Apart from CEX and carphone warehouse can anyone recommend sites I should be watching. Thanks for all the bargains so far.
@tailrunner musicmagpie is fab for refurbished phones Smile

@Avoca76 is this what you’re looking for.

Avoca76 · 20/11/2020 21:55

Ooh yes. That looks good thanks and reviews look pretty good. Thank you.

[quote TheCrow]@MsMiaWallace well that's a bit of a game changer! Was going to get the milk frother to make hot choc but I'm seriously tempted by that, is there any real difference that's worth £20 extra though? Is it a glorified frother?[/quote]
Me too! Don't know what to choose now!

FilthyforFirth · 20/11/2020 21:59

Evening all. I had my lovely baby two days ago! Home now recovering from my section and dealing with cluster feeding so time to dip back in. What must have deals have I missed?! What black friday stuff should I be looking at?

All I have left to buy is 3 hampers, 1 for grandparents, one vegan and one either vegetarian or wine/cheese style... Totally open to presents for me though!

SomethingInTheWaySheCooks · 20/11/2020 22:01

Congratulations FilthyforFirth. You definitely deserve presents!

recklessgran · 20/11/2020 22:05

Oooh many congratulations @FilthyforFirth we love a thread baby! You definitely need and deserve the Hotel Chocolat deal! Just going to scroll back and look for it.

FilthyforFirth · 20/11/2020 22:08

Ah thank you both. He was a whopper at 9lbs8oz! Currently snoring away on me, can't bring myself to put him down...

I like the sound of a hotel chocolate deal. I dont have a velevitiser but these threads make me feel inadequate for not having one!! I do like a hot chocolate.

Doordye · 20/11/2020 22:08

I received mine about 3 days ago.

IggyAce · 20/11/2020 22:10

@FilthyforFirth congratulations, you definitely deserve lovely presents. Enjoy the baby snuggles.

recklessgran · 20/11/2020 22:11

Eeek! 9lb 8oz? Jolly well done you I bet he's beautiful!
Right, found it - it's the Merry Christmas Everyone bundle that's normally £55 . The code MERRY20 takes £20 off and then the code FREEDEL30 gives free delivery. So £35 delivered.

Someaddedsugar · 20/11/2020 22:14

Congratulations @FilthyforFirth Star

Dolphintrainer · 20/11/2020 22:15

@FilthyforFirth congratulations on your new arrival. I admire your bargain shopping dedication!

Yeknom · 20/11/2020 22:17

Oooooh hugest congratulations @FilthyforFirth x

HoHoHolyMackerel · 20/11/2020 22:17

@AndddddHerewegoagain I am going to Asda on Tuesday so I will try for you

HoHoHolyMackerel · 20/11/2020 22:18

@filthyforfirth that's amazing congratulations!!

HoHoHolyMackerel · 20/11/2020 22:21

@xoxogossipgirl2020 sorry that was meant for you re pj's. I'm off to Asda Tuesday!

Graphista · 20/11/2020 22:24

@PinkDaydreams glad you're sorted

@nightcap oh that's lovely! Glad it was useful for you. Such a simple and enjoyable thing to do and has loads of benefits health wise. I'm just watching "the last leg" which also always makes me laugh.

@Jacopone so sorry for the loss of your father, that's hard. Glad the post was of use

@Fuckingfuckssake You're absolutely welcome. It's so hard when someone you love has Alzheimer's. My family have been through that too sadly. There's still so much we need to learn but it's nice if we can find things that help and give pleasure.

straighthairdontcare · 20/11/2020 22:29

Would anyone have recommendations for a good yoga mat? I don’t yoga so not sure what a good one is !

FilthyforFirth · 20/11/2020 22:30

Thanks @recklessgran. I wonder if I have missed the boat as it wont let me use the code MERRY20. Thank you though!

Thanks to everyone else for your kind wishes. It was a hard old pregnancy and these threads helped keep my spirits up! Also allowed me to finish my Christmas shopping ahead of his arrival. Still need to wrap nearly 60 gifts though...!

NotEnoughTime · 20/11/2020 22:30

Congratulations Filthy on your new baby son.

yafilthyanimalandahappynewyear · 20/11/2020 22:32

Ahh congratulations @FilthyforFirth, how lovely!

tyrannid · 20/11/2020 22:38

@Tailrunner - the iPhone 6 no longer gets updates so I wouldn't advise getting one of those (it's what I have). The iPhone 5 and below also don't get updates anymore. The original iPhone SE still does and anything sold after the SE I think.
