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 🤣.

@IggyAce

Stackers Black Friday deals are live, up to 50% off.

Amazing, thank you. I’ve been holding out for a deal on a £65 washbag. It’s down to £52 but now under the threshold for free delivery. Looks like John Lewis are price matching though and they offer free delivery over £50.

My PJs have been cancelled too. No surprise really!

Does anyone have a Halfords code??? Just before I press buy on the expensive bike….

@Bryna

For those after the DairyMilk 850g, I saw these in Aldi today, they are £4.99 for 800g, and the best bit is the recipient may win £5,000 or even £10,000! They are limited to 3 per customer.

It would help if I attached the photo too🤦‍♀️

Thanks for the Converse suggestions all. Do I need a code for LaRedoute Crocodile?

I placed an order with Olive and Sage for the reduced gnome and fairy houses etc on the 31st Oct and heard nothing since the email confirmation. Has anyone received their order?

Matalan 20% off code. Ends midnight tonight.

Sorry.

@NaturalBlondeYeahRight Thank you so much

DS9 has recently started tennis lessons. He has a racquet and I've bought him a bag but any ideas for stocking fillers gratefully received please.

I also want to get DS15 some free weights (can't stretch to a bench). I was thinking Decathlon?

I've ordered the Dunelm bath toys and Neom LF set thanks to you guys

25% off Crew clothing with code CHIEFSEARLYACCESS25

Would love an Argos code if there’s any going spare!

If people want gnomes or Christmas gnomes. Not reduced but given the work that goes into them pretty special. And lovely people. They are really fabulous (I have no connection found them by accident- 3 gnomes later I am hooked)

@Rockhopper81

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)

Oops thanks @Rockhopper81 - I clearly never paid attention in biology

@NaturalBlondeYeahRight

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.

iF you have an amex gin club they are currently and regularly on the cash back offer on there

Free PJs been cancelled here too. Ah well, was worth a punt!

@mumonthehill If you sign up for Halfords bike alerts they'll send you a 10% off voucher.

This is an incredibly boring request but can anyone recommend a wipeable tablecloth available in grey/earthy green tones (can be patterned) found a grey stars one at Argos which went into clearance and is now out of stock anywhere near me. Now I've convinced myself I need a tablecloth for this winter but it needs to be fairly heavy duty and wipeable as I have 4yo and 2yo boys 😅

Yup pyjamas now not even showing as a past order in my Amazon, oh well!

AHH ..All my PJs have been cancelled !
They will give me a refund though !

The Next wipeable ones are fairly hard wearing. It says not to machine wash but ours have been in the machine loads and are doing well. I'm not sure of specific colours but there are loads of choices.

He's Caroline Quentin's husband. She kept mentioning him when she was on Strictly — bit of sneaky product placement.

@ItsAllBlahBlahBlah I'm am SO impressed with dunelms tablecloths! Haven't seen whether they've got your colour request but they're extremely hard wearing!

@MeredithGreyishblue thank you.

@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

Oil on top of moisturizer as last extra bit, unless your moisturizer is a fatty one. There's no real reason, or hard and fast rule, and people have their own preferences, but oil under, say, Nivea blue pot, will make the cream rub in better. Elemis is a fairly light cream, so I'd use the oil last.

I bought some things a few weeks ago and they took ages to arrive. I wouldn't worry.p
