Thread 5 - the one where I saw 999 and panicked!

[Notlongnow1]

Hopefully @Reastie will be along to add all the necessary info!

@Haveyoubrushedyourteeth the IKEA advent bags sound good, thanks for the tip.
Percy chocolate coins will be perfect for dcs stockings. Teen loves Percy I’ve got her the plush tree decoration for her tree so that’s day 1 of her calendar sorted.

We also have a beautiful Laura Ashley advent house that the dcs share, I just put chocolate/sweets in that one as the draws were too small for 2 small gifts and there wasn’t much choice for ds.

Just a word of caution for anyone ordering the ok boxes, was it last year or the year before lots of posters got caught out by birchbox as they dispatched the 2nd subscription box immediately after the offer one. Don't hang about when cancelling if you don't want the subscription.

Really good deal on the Kidizoom camera www.amazon.co.uk/Kidizoom%C2%AE-Duo-Camera-Blue-version/dp/B07CSZMZT2/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&s=kids&keywords=Kidizoom&tag=mumsnetforu03-21&qid=1631214003&sr=1-5 and same for the pink version

Some lovely books on the book club 66, can I just recommend this we read this copy of ‘‘twas the night before Christmas as a family every Christmas Eve and have done since dcs were small. It’s full of beautiful illustrations. This is a great price.

@RJnomore1

Back from marks with two colin stirrers, two shortbread houses, some xmassy crisps and a sloe fizz. The tea ones are not in my local yet but I’ll keep an eye out.

@RJnomore1 The industrial estate one? They had none in town today . Blows my cover and waves from other side of town and previous threads!

You can now get sharing tins of Lindt www.wilko.com/lindt-lindor-sharing-tin-400g/p/0500752?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI1JWC4szy8gIVja3tCh06XwYoEAQYAiABEgKXl_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

[quote Jumpingintosummer]@dizzygirl1 direct from Aston Martin is currently the best value. If he is a big fan this seasons polo is down to £33 - a genuine bargain![/quote]
I think I'm going to go for a kids official launch t shirt (largest size) and a mens small Sebastian vettel t shirt. He is a real fan, been following seb for years and will love it!

Popped into out local tk maxx today, they had some girl's party dresses in the reduced section and also had Christmassy bits by the checkout

Does anyone have any code for fresh flowers. I want to send a few bunches this weekend and they are really adding up!

@Ricekrispie22 who shares Lindt chocolate 😂

I've become far too excited by all this Percy and Colon chat and instead of what I should be doing, which is sorting out the clothes in the spare room, I will be throwing any old outfits on DTwins and pegging it to Mark and Sparks to get some light up tins that I didn't even know I needed, practically four months in advance

And yes DH, I am currently on "that bloody thread" again and not following the plot of the film we're watching

@StarfishSleeper I've put a link in the referral thread for bloom & wild flowers. £10 off. Can be used more than once with diff emails x

Surely "the one with the Percy and Colon chat" is our next thread title!!

Thanks for the beauty box link! I've done miss a box next month so I won't get charged for October just in case it doesn't cancel in time. I plan on cancelling as soon as the box arrives.

@TwinsandTrifle Colon the caterpillar somehow doesn't sound quite so appealing

My thoughts exactly, Chrysanthemum5

@StarfishSleeper have you looked at Freddie's Flowers? They have an offer on to get your first delivery free, and I think there are referral codes on the referral thread.

Placemarking also can someone please link the other threads as I seem to have missed them

@BadgerFace will have a mooch thanks

Not sure if anyone has mentioned the M&S light up box of chocolates? If not they're 20£, from what I could make out there are stars on the inside of the lid that have LED lights in them.
I really want to buy one...but I really don't want to gift it!

FFS. COLIN

Great plan, I've skipped the next box and will cancel when they arrive.

Me too!

Arriving a few threads late, what did I miss?

Well im not entirely sure but I think everyone and their cat has now bought an Oodie, a chocolate shaker thingy, Blokus, light up biscuit tins and now poor Percy is having colon trouble.

Ah yes I've just asked if any close family want to go halves on the Oodie deal!
