Thread 20 - the one with a drowning Gary Barlow in hot chocolate

[Reastie]

Poor old Gary - he’s gone from money off his concerts to being drowned in hot chocolate 🤣. Thanks for the title @iklboo

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

@Motherofplants
I wish you’d posted this last month. I’ve just got rid of all of our octonauts figures and sets as my youngest has no interest in them

@AmWa02 I buy my tea from a company called Noble Leaf, small independent and have won a few awards Tea

@IsThisIt2021 Noooooos! Octonauts is a new love here so I'm not up on the info about why I can't find genuine toys etc :( Very frustrating!

I haven’t kept track of what the code was that was already posted but 15% off and free delivery at Celtic & Co with code AW21HL

@Motherofplants I did buy some of the figures from Maqio. I’ve just had a look they still have some but not many

@IsThisIt2021 Thanks :)

@Motherofplants second hand bundle from eBay or Facebook are your best bet.

@sorryiasked I'm scouting now, I can't believe how much some of them cost! I guess demand must be there, but more than £200 for some of these bundles!

@Motherofplants

Has anyone seen any octonauts figures and/or sets? I tried ordering a set on ebay but they are cheap fakes and unsafe :( My little boy loves the ones we got from a charity shop, but they seem impossible to find!!

I have this problem too @Motherofplants, my 3 year old is a huge fan and they don't seem to make the toys new any more.

Secondhand they very occasionally appear locally on Facebook marketplace but I always miss them. Never seen any in a charity shop so you got lucky there!

I managed to get 3 glow in the dark figures from Toys for a Pound as stocking fillers, but otherwise you're taking your chances with eBay unfortunately.

Debenhams have next day delivery for £2 using XMASPREP or I used BFWINS for free standard delivery

Thanks Reastie 🎄

@ZIGGY911

New to these (ever so helpful) threads and remember seeing something about a replacement elf. Would it be anything like this one?

@motherofplants

You can get sets on Amazon - we got this one a couple of years ago:

Cath Kidston up to 60% off everything.
Some of the discounts are very much 10% or 15% though!

I'm looking for an Argos code if anybody has one spare, need to spend over £100 so would really appreciate a code.

Not sure if its linked to my reward card or not, but I have a 20% Matalan code if anyone needs one.

@Froppysue we have a family projector (£1k). But I have just ordered my kids smart phone projectors from Flying Tiger website (£10). Won’t be handing them over until Christmas morning but if I can open and test I will and will report back.

@Silversun83 Some of the latest reviews state these are the same fakes sold by other sellers on Amazon and Ebay, I'm really unsure about chucking more money after them! Are you feet solid? The ones we just got had hollow feet and parts that fall off!

Thank you to @Warthogontheshelf for the discount heads up on the close parents website. I just got a full set of newborn nappies for a great price ( about a third of normal price).

Can anyone recommend a 3D printer?
Cheap as possibly obviously but easy to use is important as it's for DF

Can anyone recommend anywhere to get nice wax melts from that isn’t an MLM? If it’s a bargain even better.

@SBAM I get my wax melts from a local business here:

We have an endor 3 pro and it’s fab. It’s easy to use, but an absolute pig to put together initially. If you’d be happy to help him set up it would be good though

I saw some in home bargains a few weeks ago?
