And I’m up at 3:40am so thought I’d check out if there are any bargains that I need 😁

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 Thanks

I'm so annoyed with Matalan!! DH saw some boots (only thing he's asked for). They didn't have the right size in store so I ordered online. Since had emergency c section with DS2, checked the order that arrived on Thursday and they e sent the wrong boots and now are out of stock online 😭😭 the ones they've sent are damaged too so not even giftable. They have refunded but I need the boots!

If anyone is near a Matalan and sees these www.matalan.co.uk/product/detail/s2843903_c526/tan-leather-chukka-boots-tan in a size 11, and is willing to post, I'd be forever grateful and cover all costs.

DH has been an angel this year with me having HG and taking over house and childcare duties along working full time and caring for me.

@Froppysue no worries, if you have any more questions or anything feel free to give me a shout or drop me a message, happy to point you in the right direction as another cosplayer! 🙂

@LadyNina00 I have just been trying to work that out. Look to be based in the market in Belfast. Search of the address takes to MY Old Toybox which is active on Facebook but doesn't have it's own site. Does have an email address though.
So might be worth messaging them?

RJnomore1 · 27/11/2021 12:40

@LastStarFighter I’ve had a look round, search ghost face on Etsy and there’s lots. Some scary but you can get a wee lego figure for about £3, reusable cups with the straws for £12 and things like that.

Also the argos stools are £50 now must have been on an offer at the time 😁

Scout2016 · 27/11/2021 12:42

Unless there is anyone on here who is in Belfast and knows the markets and can advise? I have been but not for years.

UltimateProcrastinator · 27/11/2021 12:43

@NeverSurrender
Thank you for the Facetheory recommendation. I’d not heard of it before and they have some highly rated products for rosacea which I’m going to try - would have been rude not to with that discount!

Justhereforthechristmasthreads · 27/11/2021 12:47

Book packages gave gone to Post Office this morning for those I spoke to yesterday Xmas Smile

Word of warning: Don’t take your 8 year old shopping to Aldi with you! This unicorn and a cat ended up in my basket!

NeverSurrender · 27/11/2021 13:08

@UltimateProcrastinator it is really good stuff,can't believe the difference it's made to my skin! If you don't see a difference in your skin they refund for up to a year too. There are always 25-30% codes if you google or follow their Facebook page so I haven't paid full price yet. Grin

hairycabbage · 27/11/2021 13:12

[quote Topbird29]@hairycabbage - how about Mario kart, lego Jurassic Park, Mario 3d worlds (mini games) z our 9 and 7 yr olds like those. Although they both just want to do minecraft![/quote]
Thanks for the recommendations, think I will go for Minecraft. She's also into Spirit Rjding Free and there's a game on Amazon so might stick that in too. Thanks Smile

awishes · 27/11/2021 13:17

Anyone seen any chocolate advent calendars with free delivery? I have a few to post and thought it might be easier to get them delivered. Thanks!

MsMiaWallace · 27/11/2021 13:18

We want the lion Squishmallow from Aldi if anyone sees one!

GaslighterDenier · 27/11/2021 13:18

@Annie1290 I have a click and collect order to try and get today so will have a look for you! Fingers crossed I can get out in this weather.

Froppysue · 27/11/2021 13:28

@LadyNina00 please don’t use that Parkesandson site it’s not geniuine - at best you’ll receive a fake Funko, at worst they’ll take take your money and not receive anything. Check trustpilot reviews. I’ll check the groups and my Funko app and see if I can find something for you.

@LastStarFighter I’ll put a post up and let you know too.

@TheCrow I might just do that! Want to help and support her with this as much as I can but I’m rather clueless lol

slithytoveisascientist · 27/11/2021 13:31

Absolutely gutted, I ordered my sons main Christmas present from Halfords - a scooter - and they delivered it today without any external packaging. Worse, DHL left it outside and my son saw it when he opened the door.

This was top of his Christmas list and it’s a really specific scooter as well.

He has already asked me why I bought it and does Father Christmas exist.

I told him I didn’t buy it and maybe it was delivered here by mistake 😫 any bright ideas to help me save this situation?

Halfords don’t give a shit.

@Froppysue
Thankyou for that advice- I'll steer clear. Much appreciated having a look for me.

Froppysue · 27/11/2021 13:35

@LadyNina00 no worries. The estimated value for duff is £30, you may find one on eBay or I can look on the groups for you? Some of the pops can reach ridiculous prices, one of the ones my dd is after is £140 (she’s not getting it lol) but they can run into the thousands!
