Second message has a few links and info which I’ll slowly build up, let me know if there’s anything you’d like me to add to it

Thought I’d do a ‘how to’ for a couple of things people often post about not being sure of

To do click links you do this put link in here then a space then the name or phrase you want to go with the link . Don’t put a space between the start of the link or the last word next to the like I have or it won’t work but I had to to demonstrate.

Some top tips from thelegohooverer:

My tips are:
check out companies on trustpilot before ordering
be wary of companies that only have email/contact firms for customer services and no phone numbers or addresses (unless of course you enjoy meaningless replies from bots)
keep a list of what you’ve ordered so you can follow up if something doesn’t arrive. Sometimes it’s a numbers game where they’re betting on people not following up on missing orders.
check where things are shipped from, particularly if you need them quickly. I’ve got caught out waiting for the slow boat from China when I thought I was ordering locally.
I’ve started using Revolut to avoid putting in my main bank details (and it helps me budget)

Aliexpress have lots of stuff very cheap, order early as it’s all delivered from China here . Be aware some items are a bit knock off in quality and safety, check reviews and be aware. Clothes can come up v small and take the photos with a pinch of salt as a guide for what you will get.

Amazon free delivery tool here

Camelcamelcamel is a brilliant site that tracks prices on amazon here

Lisa angel sale is popular when on, apparently arrive nicely packaged too here

Magazine subscription offers here and here

Netpricedirect has discount toys and party bits here

Toys for a pound here

Here’s a link for one of the popular hp jumpers here , check prices because they wiggle about randomly

Thank you Reastie.

The ecooking shop has Spode 12 piece Christmas tree sets at £32 still. (the Portmeirion/Spode site itself has the same set reduced from about £100 to about £70)

I've never bought from ecooking and the site looks a bit clunky and amateurish but the price seems very good.

Hope you're feeling better today@Reastie
I have Matalan codes, if anyone wants one please pm me.
I'll post here when they've gone.
£5 off £25, £10 off £50 and £15 off £75
Also, probably generic but 15 % off at BAM with code CLICK15. Their socks are divine [but ouchy.]

pictionary Air

Can’t remember who it was was asking about it
It’s now £10.59 on Amazon as part of toy week

Thanks for new thread Reastie.

For anyone looking for squishmallows I was in Costco yesterday and they had loads. I definitely saw a koala and I'm sure they had a dragon too.

Boots appear to have started their Black Friday sale today

@puffaliciuos
Just in case you didn’t see my message on last thread
I have bought DS an iron man pic signed by Rober Downey from Amazon for £9.99 , it is unframed but they can be picked up quite cheaply. Hth

My neom order collection has gone from Wed to Thu now 😬 starting to feel worried

Thanks Reastie.
I’ve been away for a few days and missed a full thread so sorry if this has already been discussed. Has anyone had the bargainous Boots photo advent calendar yet? I ordered on 8 October and still haven’t received mine.

Melissa and Doug Latches board is £12.99 on Amazon amzn.to/3jTSF54

There's quite a lot of barbie bits reduced too like the color reveal doll for £11.79 amzn.to/3pW4Bae

Can you link please? Can only see a set for £99. Thanks.

Oh! It must have been a glitch- on Saturday both sets (the 4 piece and the 12 piece) were showing at the same price- now the 12 piece is showing, as you say, at £99. The website was being really weird and kept emptying my basket of the 2 sets (both 12 pieces obvs) and that's probably why!
Buggery.
(And of course I mean ecookshop unless we want Christmas 🎄 face cream, which tbf, I'd probably try as well!)

Can anyone recommend any cookbooks for children and teens?

Molton brown are having a friends and family sale today 25% off applied at checkout. Not sure if you need to have an account or not.

@clpsmum

Can anyone recommend any cookbooks for children and teens?

The Works always have cool/quirky looking ones like this Disney one (linked) & there's a Harry Potter one I've always wanted to flick through but I've no idea what the recipes are like

👍 😢 thank you!

Morning bargain hunters, snapfish have got 50% off a £35 spend across all their products. Highly recommend their canvases and calendars - good presents for grandparents

Tmlewin have 20% off men’s shirts, suits and accessories with TMLFRIENDS

Olive and sage still have 25% off, with new items in their 2 for £24 sale.

Has anyone got Pictionary Air & can confirm it’s a good buy? I’ve ordered then realised the reviews are pretty rubbish

(Sorry not a bargain) but to who-ever was thinking/purchased the 3D Printer for their son. I've got mine up and running, and I LOVE IT.

First two weeks were a nightmare, I could have easily thrown it out the window numerous times. Bed Levelling is just beyond stressful!

There are a few little extras you will find useful. I purchased some Cleaning Spray For Bed and going out today to get a Crafters Knife.
