Thread 25 - The one where 8 inches is big enough

[Reastie]

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

@nickdrakeslovechild

I found a present idea today. Aldi have the Marcus Rashford book in for £3.99 and I added the Marcus Radishford toy for £2.99. Thought it was a great idea for my footie loving DD.

We gave one as a birthday present and the recipient has been reading it avidly and really loved it (age 0)

oops 10

Good to know the book is well liked. Amazon have stock of the cheap Freixedent procecco again back to £8.50 delivered with prime. They had it at this price before but delivery was 3rd January

Thanks for regatta codes.i managed to fond one black15 for 15% off coats and jackets. Ends today i think tho

@Oneborneverydecade I’ve still only got Barlow and cannot see any digital advent anywhere! Getting very hard not to feel slighted, M&S

My Black Friday Look fantastic box is here. I only bought it to be a sheep but I’m really impressed with it- there’s loads! Thanks so much to the OP

No Sparks advent here either. I’ve updated the app. Nothing. Not even Gary Barlow.

I have a £5 Halfords evoucher if anyone could use it? No minimum spend that I can see.

Secret Santa budget is a tenner but from last year I'd say people spend £15, I'd go up to £20 but more than that would be obvious! She is trendy, wears make up and I'm about 25 years older so think whatever I personally think is nice might look frumpy to her!

Has anyone seen a Penfold figure from Danger Mouse (not a plush toy) on their real life or internet travels? DS has asked Santa for one (because Santa is magic and don't worry mummy the elves will make one) and I can't find one anywhere! There is one on EBay as part of a set (I have the other items) and the previous similar bundle went for £71

Oh no! I'm not sure if no Gary Barlow is actually worse than having him...you're not even worthy of a shite offer!

@MNHQ, where are the Christmas smilies to choose now please?! I'm still doing them manually. #sadtimes

Typical that The White Company now have dressing gowns back in stock just as the 20% off has ended. Does anyone know if they generally do any other offers during December?

Freixedent procecco Is also £8.50 in Sainsbury’s at the moment, alongside their 25% off when you buy 6 bottle

@SingItToWinIt

Any recommendations for a geography game?

Ds 13 loves geography - he can name pretty much any country or capital city, recognises the majority of flags, knows all the US states (actually sat down and learned them voluntarily lol) and loves quizzes to do with Countries.

Any great ones?

What about "where is Moldova"

@DentalWorries I have a shopping code for 15% off at white company when you spend over £50 - code RSTRKTCRD

@Mummyoply I just searched danger mouse on Facebook marketplace and got this pop up. Nowhere near me but may post to you if you explain?

Geography knowledge is very helpful when playing Ticket to Ride

if anyone is buying tech CIRCLE15 gives £15 off a £170 spend at reboxed

I used them recently to buy refurbished airpods for DD and while they weren't the cheapest the reviews are good, I got next day delivery and the airpods look perfect

@Smileatthesmallthings thank you so much - I'm not on FB, wonder if I need to sign up Just to get a Penfold? Hmmmmm

I popped into M&S for a teacake with DD3 this morning and the long standing staff member said that there is an it issue with the advent calendar that they're working on.
I'm curious about how many of us would actually go if we won the Gary Barlow concert tickets?

@Iggi999 my DHs secret Santa recipient sounds a lot like yours. I think I'll be piggy backing your responses

@Mummyoply I'll message the person and see if she'll post for you

@Mummyoply there are some single plush figures on ebay but not cheap. There's also this one

I would go a see Gary Barlow in the best of times but in this new wave it'll be a super spreader event

*wouldn't

@Mummyoply So sorry but she said it's gone already! Only been on 20minutes. There are a couple more but more like £15. Happy to message on your behalf if you like.
