Thanks @Carrie76 for the title. Just for everyone’s info - the chat was about tablet size 😁

I can't get the toby carvery discount to work. Can anyone help please?

@Puffalicious I’ve ordered lots this year from IWOOT and all of them came within a few days of ordering

I know this is asking for the moon on a stick but my godson has been wanting an Xbox series x since this time last year - I've signed up to alerts etc but just in case anyone sees one please tag me?

(It wouldn't be from me btw I'm not that generous! 😂)

I posted this in a separate thread but have had no replies yet so thought I’d ask here.

Does anyone know anything about this website and how to access the 1921 census? I have a family member who has been researching his family tree recently and is very excited about the release of the census after Christmas. I thought I could
Get a gift voucher or something for Findmypast but I’ve been on the website don’t really know what I would need to buy.

@BarryBob77 there shouldn't be a charge to access the 1921 census as its public record "owned" by the National Archives. I believe they're just using Find My Past as the online sharer.
There will be a charge to see the actual transcripts of the census rather than the digitised search records.
Usually it's a pay per view system so I'm not sure you'll be able to buy anything now as it doesn't release until 6th January. You could try emailing find my past and asking?

@invasionofthegutsnatchers

Sorry I think it finished at midnight but if you are near an Asda they have 20% off some giftcards in store until friday and The Dining Out Card is included which definitely includes Toby Carvery

@PeppaPigWorld thank you for the tip on buying credits for photo calendars, I used the Quidco £5 bonus window to buy a couple of credits yesterday, definitely didn't have time to sit and make calendars but can do it at the weekend 😊

@BarryBob77 have you looked at your local Council to see if they have an archive department/service?

Last Christmas I happened upon my local one by chance - a joint archive department for our County and the next - and they were offering packages clearly aimed at Xmas gifters.

I paid £45 and had the most wonderful gift for my mum - a full report going back 5 generations. Firstly a write up, written in story mode about everyone that could be found on my mums tree - mainly with personal facts but also some information about key events that happened during individuals lifetimes and how that would likely have effected them given their job/age/sex etc. Then copies of all the birth, marriage, death, army certificates etc.

It's well worth a look, I was blown away by how good value it was!

I just wondered if anybody could help with inspiration for my 18 yo nephew please. He has Aspergers, he’s very into history, wars, family trees. He’s incredibly particular. This would be his main present from his mum (my sister). She’s completely stuck.
I’ve bought him a genius type game and some shortbread. He loves buns and cakes.
Budget around £100. Thank you very much.

Thank you for all the tractor sock suggestions - the Dedoles ones look like a winner (Ds is 8 and very much a "groan up")

Oh no, I have been meaning to get the RENPHRO massage gun on Amazon but waiting for it to go down as it was priced at £79.99 and now its gone UP to £99.99!! Does this mean BF is officially over??

@Youvegotafriendinme look at decathlon for archery. Long lasting sets!.

@RainbowPhilosophy
Many thanks for Fossil tip.
Just got £400 of stuff for £100. I only looked at Outlet because I don't need anything it's all got an additional 40% off at checkout and signing up gave me a 15% code! Might go back for more!

@BlueFlavour my son has ASD too and tbh the best presents for him are ones he actually asks for. Not as fun for us as there’s no surprise, but if he doesn’t actively WANT something then he doesn’t want it at all. It’s taken us many years to learn this, and he’s found Christmas very difficult in the past. It’s worth having a look online with him to see if anything takes his fancy. Little treats like his favourite chocolates still go down well, and my son loves a particular Pokémon drink which we can only get in the Chinese supermarket here.

Thanks for the fossil codes, am now moving beyond Christmas and buying for January birthdays!!!

You can hire experts to research your family tree or house and put together a book of all the info. I looked it up once and the deal I wanted cost about £150 but you can get cheaper / more expensive things.

@CatOfTheLand
Thank you . That’s a great idea. I’m going to google.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a cheap Happy Napper. DD's 6&3 have been asking for one for months. And it was the first thing on their Christmas list.

All the reviews are rubbish, they break, the girls will probably never use them. But I'm happy to spend maybe £20 each if it will make them happy.

I was hoping for an amazing Black Friday deal but haven't noticed any.

All help greatly appreciated x
