Thanks @GoblinDaughter for the title

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

I ordered wine and a roomba from Aldi. The wine came today but no roomba and it was Yodel for me

Reckon there’s new thread title potential here, @Reastie ⬆️ 😊

Please help! DS wants Beast Quest for the Switch but I can't find it anywhere other than the Nintendo site but that's download only. Argos says it has limited stock but none local to me and I can't work out where there are any. If you know how I could find out or could check your stores for me I'd be so grateful.

lolarabbit · 04/12/2020 21:20

@CompleteBarstool George @ Asda for PJs? Delivery is under £3 I think. I ordered from them this week and arrived within 3 or 4 days.

WhereTheresAHill · 04/12/2020 21:20

@chocolatepudandchocolatesauce I’m not sure but I guess you could sign up under different emails?!

myhobbyisouting · 04/12/2020 21:33

Must not buy HP calendar 🐑

JessicaJoans · 04/12/2020 21:34

Puffincrossing I had no idea that existed and now I need one for my son! None in Argos anywhere near me - I can’t find it as a download, can you post a link for me? Will let you know if I find any.

Puffincrossing · 04/12/2020 21:45

Jessica it only came out a year ago so should be easy to get a copy but I can't even find one on eBay. My Ds is very excited about getting it Christmas day. It's the only gift that I need! Anyway, here is the link to site www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Nintendo-Switch/Beast-Quest-1683429.html

IggyAce · 04/12/2020 21:46

@CompleteBarstool Asda George I’ve ordered dh some marvel ones on Tuesday/Wednesday for click & collect tomorrow at my local Asda.

Whyisitsodifficult · 04/12/2020 21:47

🙁I think I may have to do the same! I can’t even find a way of getting cash back let alone a discount!

Whyisitsodifficult · 04/12/2020 21:48

Sorry that was to @Bsmirched.

TheLastStarfighter · 04/12/2020 21:55

@JessicaJoans there is one on eBay with buy it now

TheLastStarfighter · 04/12/2020 21:58

Sorry that should have been for @Puffincrossing

Puffincrossing · 04/12/2020 22:05

Thank you Starfighter but unfortunately the seller is Argos so it's click and collect if your local store has a copy and mine doesn't. I can put it in my basket but it won't let me complete the sale.

Hope you get something good ! I'm expecting my order tomorrow, can't wait to see what I get !

Jaques of London have £10 off a £40 spend. Fantastic wooden toys for all ages. I've just ordered a chess set (anyone else watching the Queen's Gambit?🤣) really lovely quality and great prices.

I need help for dn who will turn 13 next month. She's into ballet, gymnastics, horses and HP. She has absolutely everything hobby & interest related. So I stuck, I'm veering towards vouchers tbh as they're easy but boring. Max budget £30. Thanks.
Any ideas lovely shoppers.

Those are just adorable!! 💜

VividImagination · 04/12/2020 22:40

Has anyone ever bought from Atlas for Men. The advert came up on my Facebook. They have two men’s jackets for £29.99. But, it sounds too good to be true so I’m not jumping in too quickly.

mummabear74 · 04/12/2020 22:44

@Anydreamwilldo12

My Oodie came today. It was stuck down with Royal Mail tape so must have came undone but all was fine inside. I got a despatch email on Wednesday
@Anydreamwilldo12 May I ask what the quality is like? I ordered one for my niece and fingers crossed it will turn up in time for Christmas.

[quote PinkPanther27]@mummabear74 I would love the Matalan code if you still have it please. Need to order my daughter a coat from there.[/quote]
@PinkPanther27 I'm only just catching up with the board after 2 busy work days. Unfortunately it wasn't me who had a Matalan code.

Puffalicious · 04/12/2020 23:01

Anydream and Daisy I'm soooooo excited as my Oodies had a despatch date of 8th too! I would have squealed at the driver too.
