It’s nearly December, Father Christmas is busy putting the final touches to his toys on the workshop and we are busy elves preparing for a somewhat different Christmas this year.

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.
If I do it again without the extra spaces only the word bargain will appear in blue

Honestly I think they get like 10 Lego sets just to show a super good discount and then get everyone hyped to go on the website hoping they will buy other bits once on 🤦‍♀️

Ohmygoodmess · 27/11/2020 00:36

Barbie Dream Camper down to 54.99 on Amazon seems to be best price according to camel camel camel

myhobbyisouting · 27/11/2020 00:36

Exactly. And that's why I have no roomba!

Squ1ggle · 27/11/2020 00:36

Oooh @Pawpawpaws it's just come through. I'm so happy.
I really feel for those of you who didn't get what you're after. Why is it all so stressful?

Shitfuckoh · 27/11/2020 00:37

Well I don't think there were any left behind in baskets rather than checked out, so I'm off to bed to curse missing out Grin

pasinphoebe · 27/11/2020 00:38

@NelliePig you’re prob right, I really hate that you don’t know how many they have. I really felt their site didn’t seem to work for us all tonight .. felt like it was working for half and not for another half. Don’t blame you @myhobbyisouting !!

DragonMamma · 27/11/2020 00:39

No AirPods left, bugger

NameChangeForPoo · 27/11/2020 00:39

Can anyone tell me how much the AirPods are please.

TheCrow · 27/11/2020 00:39

Noticed that the echo dot is still showing as not being dispatched by Amazon until mid-January, but has a big 'why not get our brand new echo device for £20 more' post on the page 😂

FreshPrince · 27/11/2020 00:40

@ZIGGY911 Had an email so fingers crossed its gone through ok. Hope so considering this is the "big thing" both her and brother have wanted this year.

myhobbyisouting · 27/11/2020 00:40

Sure I saw the echo dot at £18.99 on Argos

NelliePig · 27/11/2020 00:41

And now the baby has woken for a night feed which means I'll be up another hour 🤦‍♀️ should of just gone to bed at 9 😭

mummabear74 · 27/11/2020 00:46

I managed to get AirPods but not the Lego. Very pleased. Quite a few things sold out. If anyone is still queuing let me know and I'll stay on to check stock

TheCrow · 27/11/2020 00:47

@myhobbyisouting it is 🙂 just a bit cynical about them running out of stock before black Friday but trying to steer you towards their more expensive newer model is all

GalaxyCookieCrumble · 27/11/2020 00:48

In a queue for Aldi, wait time an hour!!Shock

Gooseysgirl · 27/11/2020 00:57

Well they have updated the website to say the Switch and Lego M Falcon are definitely sold out.

Rockhopper81 · 27/11/2020 00:58

Just got straight into Aldi website (out of curiosity really) - AirPods, Switch, Duplo and Lego sold out; Switch Lites and Roombas still available at the moment. No wait time to get into the website.

Gooseysgirl · 27/11/2020 00:59

No queue now because everyone who wanted a Switch or Falcon has left 😂

imnottoofussed · 27/11/2020 01:13

I'm still in a queue Confused 7 minutes left

imnottoofussed · 27/11/2020 01:13

I don't even know ant anything I just can't sleep Grin

PurpleSock · 27/11/2020 01:17

Gutted I missed the aldi bargains! Was on the page but all sold out!

Can anyone recommend a nice scarf with a pendant? I can see loads on amazon/ebay but all look a bit cheap/ not too sure of quality. Wouldn't mind spending up to about £30 for really nice quality set maybe even as a gift set

StarfishSleeper · 27/11/2020 01:30

Hope those still in Aldi queue get what they would like

For those, like me, who missed out on the Typo 30-70% sale it is now back on...Twins awake so I'm just going to feed them and will definitely check out my basket after that...

And, vodaphone free Joe and Seph popcorn again ...i'm going to pop mine on the vodaphone codes thread tomorrow morning when there is a higher chance it will be redeemed

GalaxyCookieCrumble · 27/11/2020 01:31

Switch lites in stock at Aldi!!

BeaLola · 27/11/2020 01:41

Nintendo bits are in stock at Aldi - I just logged on as can't sleep and you guys were talking about the huge Qs and I just clicked on and

TheDrsDocMartens · 27/11/2020 01:42

@hiredandsqueak
