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 😁

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

Lloyds Pharmacy have 50% off some Christmas gifts including some Disney stuff

Jaques of London are offering some daily deals on toys (including the stacker that I bought the other day, annoyingly)

20% off a musical Percy tin here if only Gary would leave my offers though!!

And thank you to the PP who recommended Hoxton Street Monster Supplies, my order's just arrived and it's fab. Although sadly 'Salt made from tears of home schooling' was sold out, or I'd have bought that too!

20% of M&S biscuits. Might buy them as haven’t bought any biscuits yet

@Girlonatubetrain2 I'm sure Matalan had some oversized women's hoodies

@Girlonatubetrain2

My DD10 has asked for an oversize sweatshirt / hoody Does anyone know where i can get one, apparently many of her friend wore recently for a non-uniform day i have checked New Look, H&M, Asda, Next and not able to find one that is actually 'baggy', they all look normal fit Ideally it would be something like this (but not zipped) any ideas / recommendations please?

We got one of these for my son

www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272031660376

(They are for girls too). It looks fitted in the picture but we sized up and it is pretty baggy! Good quality too.

I have just signed up for the M and S app, but cannot find the digital calendar on there

My M&S treat is 20% off Mince Pies!

Can anyone please suggest where I might find an apron for my (very tall for her age) 10 year old? I'm thinking an adults one is the best bet, but the ones I've seen so far look a bit boring, so something with a nice pattern or colourful would be lovely. Can be either online or real life shopping as I'm heading off to Edinburgh this weekend - It doesn't feel like Christmas if I've not had my ankles clipped by a pram, fallen out with DH, got far more sweaty than is ladylike and wondered why I was stupid enough to bother 🤣

I'd look at Monki or Topshop on ASOS (or at Monki but ASOS have so many discount codes and sales). I'm surprised you couldn't find anything at H&M, they're very much on trend so they definitely have them. Could she wear a ladies 10 or small for the volume?

After Gary and nothing else appearing every time I looked at my Sparks offer, I’ve got a free pack of Xmas cards!

@Haveyoubrushedyourteeth lots on amazon if you Google "funky aprons" and click through

Gah! My bargainous waterproof coat from Mountain Warehouse has been refunded as it is out of stock now Anyone know of anywhere still doing offers????

Landsend tend to be permanently on offer, their parka style coats are very good, waterproof and warm.

Looks like the John Lewis intern quickly found work at M&S

😂 Next thread title

OhRex, have you tried Regatta? I've had 2 coats delivered today, great value

Pervy Pig for the title, surely?

@Girlonatubetrain2 pretty little thing, boohoo, misguided and asos all do oversized hoodies - but they do them in petite (oxymoron perhaps?!) but it at least means the arms aren’t ridiculously long.

@Girlonatubetrain2 I’ve found about 10 different purple ones but this one looks a good price and comes in 2xs (presuming at 10 your dd might be little) a man is modelling it but collective is asos’ unisex brand

25% of Belgian Biscuits, that’ll be the ones I bought last week!

@Girlonatubetrain2 I got DD16 one of these in M and it is absolutely lovely. An extra small might be perfect :) www.asos.com/chelsea-peers/chelsea-peers-hoodie-set-in-lilac/grp/33785?colourWayId=60406448&SearchQuery=chelsea+peers+hoodie#22541053

I laughed so hard that I spat my sandwich out

I don’t have the m&s app and these posts aren’t encouraging me to add it I rarely go in-store so the offers would have to be amazing for me to bother.

Pervy Pig distracting the JL intern...

@Newforestdonkey

I got a bloody baking class from M&S!!

I think that's just your regular offer as I got that too. With the advent calendar I got 20% off the snow globe bottle, doubt I'll be near a shop to use it unfortunately as I have NCL (non-covid lurgy).

The Lidl plus advent offer I got today was 49p off a box of mince pies but it's only valid for today anyway....I really want a mince pie now...

20% off mince pies😁

Ridiculously excited to open M&S online calendar and I got 20% off a snow globe.

My Rex London order arrived in a HUGE box and all items are fabulous.

Re Maponimoes - can PP say which edition to get? All I can see on Amazon are Asia, Australia or USA edition. Also can't find YASK anywhere - both sound great for multi=generational Xmas games.
