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

@Stompythedinosaur

Cheeky request - can anyone direct me towards a link for the owl pellets that I think must have been on the last thread? I heard about them on another thread and they sound perfect for my dds but I can't find a link anywhere (will serve me right for not keeping up on these threads).

@Stompythedinosaur - the original owl pellets now have a waiting list to come back into stock, somebody has since recommended this site although they are also out of stock at the moment.

Sure they’ll be available again soon :-)

*teen DD. They also had some in Primark

My QVC Hotel Chocolat bargain has just arrived. It's such good value for money.
Now I just need to keep my hands off 😬

@Jacopone is she eco-conscious? You could get a recycled inflatable one from Wyatt and Jack

I would love to hear from the Owl Sanctuary - I bet they freaked out by the sudden massive demand for owl pellets! "Waiting list to buy owl barf" is surreal

@Oldmrswasherwoman If you abandon your basket they send you a discount code, you can have mine if it helps - 15% off £50 code SHOP15-OHVXQ

@Jacopone

I have a query too. Perhaps someone can help. Request for a quirky shoulder bag for a teenager. With additional remark - surprise me, mum. No idea where to look.

Have you looked at Yoshi?

@TheDrsDocMartens

I got that many small parcels this morning, the postman left them in one of his boxes😳😳😳

😂

I saw these bags in a shop in Greenwich, as a bookworm I was very tempted. I haven’t checked to see if these are the best price.

@Jacopone

Our rocket & rose fiver Friday tees just arrived, they’re sweet but the sizing is HUGE so I’ll put them away for next year as i sized up

[quote SewVeryLazy]@Newdad19 Matalan have these if you are still looking, not sure if it is the right kind. £15[/quote]
Thanks so much

[quote sorryiasked]@friskybivalves* thank you so much but *@SapereAude has kindly sorted it for me.[/quote]
Oh fantastic! I was very behind on the thread yesterday so missed that. Well done to @SapereAude. I was going to suggest you sent them to our place out there and I bring them back but so glad you have a quicker solution.

@fionnthedog
I bought mario monopoly a year or so ago for my mario obsessed boy who also loved monopoly junior.

I was very confusing and we couldn't play it as a family at all. Far too complicated (especially as a comparison to junior)

It went back in the box and I've since charity shopped it.

My boys would have been about 5 and 7 at the time we tried to play it so may be ok for older kids. (Although DH and I also found it complicated and tbh it was beyond our capabilities at ages of 37 and 40)

I miss Hema too. Shipping from the Netherlands is so expensive.

Amazon Fire tablets - the kids ones is it worth buying of a regular one (then adding parent controls). I’d been looking for them to access music, educational apps and their borrow box app from the library - would it do all that? What sort of Black Friday prices should I expect?
Thank you

Ps I also got the Gary M&S offer. I loved TT so feel quite sorry for him that no one wants to go and see him (ticket sales must be poor if doing an M&S offer). However, I will not be making use of my offer and would have much preferred the Percy pig blanket!

What exactly are St Nicholas sweets/chocolate?

These are websites I've browsed before, may help? I'm not sure if there's a difference between Dutch /German St Nicholas celebrations.

Sorry one more query on the kids fire - can the ages be changed? Some say for age 3-7 and dc2 is 6 so might start on that but then move to older content can that be done? Sorry for all the queries. Thanks

Hi everyone!

Has anyone seen this 'Spunky the Hedgehog' for less than £26?

Sorry if already posted but Amazon have Throw Throw Burrito on at £14.99

Ooh @peepholepringle which choc set did you go for? I've just had a look and wonder which is the best value for money. Need to get things for neighbours/teachers etc! Miss previous years green and blacks bargains! x

Thanks @psuedocream3 for the Nutella info. I didn’t think it would be that easy!

Someone asking about Paw Patrol, the did have a truck thing in the Sainsburys toy sale. Think it came with a Ryder figure too

Oh no, the link doesn't even work at all

That's a picture of him there.

Another one who really misses HEMA :(
