Thread 18 - the one with the owl pellets

[Reastie]

Thanks @famousthehero for the title. I had no idea you could buy such things and I’m now imagining scores of children getting owl poo as a present for Christmas! They must be popular as they’re now out of stock 🤣.

If you’re posting anything specifically for me please do @ me or I may not spot it. It’s helpful if when sharing bargain info you bold it to make it easy for people to differentiate between chat and bargain links.

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

Does anybody know if the Lego store ever does discount codes?

@TuftyMarmoset yes I do think it would
Be good to split. Either for other recipients, keep some yourself or sell some bits on eBay.

My free pyjamas have also been cancelled. And the prices have completely changed on the sellers page now. I don't know what they are doing!

[quote Oneborneverydecade]@friskybivalves was it the Lavazza milk frother?[/quote]
I'm not sure if you saw this? @friskybivalves

Those owls better get pooing! I'm gutted I missed out, that was the perfect present for so many people!

On the plus side the final bit of my WHSmiths order came through this week - although I'd actually forgotten what I'd ordered, it was so many bargains ago..

@someaddedsugar
recommend samfarmer.co for teenage skincare (aged 13-19)
animal free ingredients, unisex and decent pricing.

@TheBigFish yes this months is a citrus gin but the gin changes monthly, not sure what Decembers box includes.

@Lemonysherbet
A bit late to the party but QVC do an Elemis men's range and if he doesn't like it once he's used it, you get to return it.

Those of you trying or tempted by craft gin club, their customer services is really good and quick- (not that I cancelled as a member for three years now) If you want the Christmas box I’d order now as it goes through towards the mid to end of month for a 1st/2nd/3rd December arrival. They don’t do flavoured gins although some might have botanical hints like lemon or orange but they are unusual gins that you can’t get everywhere.

Secondly, there is this code for urban outfitters- good if you have to buy something expensive from there.

@Room4onemore They do codes for gifts with purchases. Other than I haven't seen any. You can collect vip points and sometimes you can earn them by filling questionnaires. They give you 5% of the purchase price in vip points.

On the 🦉 pooing owls issue, people on the wait list might want to look at the Barn Owl Trust who also offer pellets!

My Amazon PJs have just been cancelled too. Not surprised! I'd have felt guilty if they'd honoured it 🤣

I've got to be that person - because I can't help myself! - but owl pellets are owl puke, not poo, it comes out the top end! 😆

(It's the undigested parts of what they eat, since they don't chew)

Hoping this link works for Barn Owl pellet dissection packs:

Quite right! Slapped wrist.

Oooh I didn't - But noooo it wasn't. It was def a slightly odd Swiss or German brand I had never heard of. I was surfing in the middle of the night as couldn't sleep. God perhaps I dreamed the whole thing

@NaturalBlondeYeahRight Thank you, I didn't want to miss teh December one soI will put in a my craftginclub order now then, just need to go back through the thread and find the code. Do you know when roughly they get delivered at all please?

@Ourlady

Got my Elemis set today. Thank you you very much to the pp who highlighted the offer, much appreciated. I have a question as a skin faffer virgin who is used to using a wipe then slapping a bit of nivea on my face! Are you supposed to use all of the face products together every time? Do do you use the cleansing balm, then oil, then toner then moisturiser one after the other or do you just use certain things when you think your skin needs it? Thank you

Caroline Hirons skin freaks group on fb will steer you in the right direction for order of products 😊

That was to @oneborneverydecade for kindly pointing me to the Lavazza milk frother in case it was my phantom purchase. Sorry for flurry of hapless messages.

Hi all,

Looking for any discount anyone knows of on Converse- adult size. TIA.

My pyjamas have also been cancelled.

I wonder there are any consequences from Amazon if companies cancel lots of orders?

@Puffalicious

Hi all,

Looking for any discount anyone knows of on Converse- adult size. TIA.

I signed up to their newsletter ( on converse site ) and got 20% off a few days ago

@Puffalicious if you don’t mind waiting, I usually add them to my ASOS wish list and wait for them to do 20/25% off everything which is usually fairly often. I suspect they might be about to do one as everything on my wish list that was previously discounted is now back to full price which they usually do before a site wide offer.

Do you remember that year we had something really cheap from Amazon then got a message from some poor guy saying he'd made a huge mistake and would be fired so would we please pay more!

@Puffalicious try Le redoute for Converse, 40% off

@psuedocream3 it’s literally delivered the first few days of Dec- they keep you updated frequently by email.
