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 😁

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.

Vodafone codes thread here

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

Not sure if it was someone on here or a separate thread that was looking for ‘bop it’? Just seen them in TK Max for £12.99

Remember my bizarre 20% M&S banner, that only I could see? That they charged me £15 postage for? Well, they've refunded me the postage, given me a 20% one off use code for next time (think may get a coat) and didn't mention Gary once!
I opened it thinking here we go again.

[quote LilithImpala67]@MWestie have you tried Etsy? I got a minecraft skeleton keyring off there this year as it had to be a specific type of skeleton apparently for my DS. [/quote]
Thanks @LilithImpala67, I did check on Etsy but couldn't see anything...as you say, they can have very specific requirements!

speaking of large bars of chocolate, where can I get a big bar of plain Milka, like you get in duty free at airports? Ideally delivery (can't drive)

@MWestie how crafty are you? You could buy this and attach a keychain to it?

@MWestie a photo would help ffs

@thaegumathteth that's a great idea. Drawback, am not very crafty! But have already ordered a little Minecraft lego polar bear configure for her stocking so wonder if I could somehow attach to that...

Thanks for your suggestion 🙂

They have them on Amazon although not particularly cheap unless you use Amazon Fresh

Random request alert
My mums hair at the age of 59 following a hair cut has gone very curly, like quite tight curls.
I’m thinking of getting her some decent products for curly hair, can anyone recommend anything? ❤️

I purchased an item on eBay a while ago which is now damaged due to being faulty and needs to be returned/refunded. I got nectar points for the item which I’ve now spent. Does anyone know what I should do now please? Will they expect me to have kept the nectar points for this length of time? I’ve spent them all Xmas shopping now so what can I do?! Thanks

@Mumto3thatsme Umberto Giannini have good curly hair kits almost always on discount. I follow the curly girl method and love experimenting.

Only Curls has a mini starter kit that she could enjoy trying.

The Cantu define and shine custard and Curl activator cream are good value too.

@MWestie you could buy the photo insert keyring things and print off a picture of a minecraft polar to go on one side and her name on the other side?

@Carrie76

I have a favour to ask please. DS’s stocking has torn and I’ve told him he can pick a replacement one. He wants a Crystal Palace one but delivery to Ireland is £14! I’ve told him no but thought it would be great if he woke up on Christmas morning and Santa and left him one! Would anyone be willing to let me get one posted to them and then send it on to me (I’ll obviously cover costs).

You can send it to me x

@PositiveLife

Also got Gary in this morning's door. I reckon anyone hello, are you out there? that had bought full price tickets must be regretting it

Can anyone help with a present I need? I'm wanting to get 2 £5 vouchers that allow the recipient to donate the £5 to a (choice of) charity. Does anyone know of a legitimate provider? Ideally one that does £5 denominations

lendwithcare.org/gift-vouchers It's a choice of group or person within the charity.

@MandScookiesrule

Hi, for those still looking for squishmallows. I had given up my search, but found a full crate today in my local Aldi an hour ago (Bolton centre next to Sainsburys/Morrisons if anyone is local). Obviously just been put there today and had all the Christmas ones (tree, angel, Mrs Claus, reindeer etc). I’ve been looking for weeks, so worth another trip maybe incase they’ve appeared near you

I really dislike that Aldi but I might take a trip. The traffic lights around there give me a headache. I think it's psychosomatic from years of queuing there in my youth.

Not sure if this is our-town-specific but Supercuts had Tigi, Fudge and Bedhead products reduced to 90p-£2 ish...

I think this is just getting mean spirited now

@RainbowPhilosophy what about a lens travel mug. Amazon have several different styles.

Zavvi have 3 sets of Lego/ Duplo for £20 in their advent calendar today

John Lewis have 15% off some micro scooters

If anyone knows a way to get a discount on a Nutmeg (Morrisons) orders I'd be really grateful - a kind PP did send me one but by the time I had some money to use it it had expired! We don't live close to a Morrisons at all otherwise I'd go and look in store

Anybody got a discount code for marks and Spencer's that I can use on a coat?

@ClaraTheImpossibleGirl I will PM you again now

Has anyone seen any rainbow coloured lamentta or tinsel in real life shops please? Thank you! I can only find gold or silver lamentta but am after either many different single colours or rainbow strands.

@PinkDaydreams my husband returned from Sainsburys with some last week 😆

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas to bulk out my 5 year old daughters pile? She has had a lot more spent on her than my 2 year old but my youngests things look bigger.
I don’t think she’s old enough to understand the concept yet so just wanted a few budget ideas to even it out a bit. She loves being creative, and things like Polly pockets/barbies.
I absolutely love this thread, thank you everyone
