Thread 27 - the one with a panicked thread title

Title because the last one’s nearly used up and I haven’t got time to do my usual picking of a title, sorry.

@endlesscraziness Lidl had a soft toy parrot coming next week that repeats back what you say to it. My 7yr old that last year and still has a giggle with it - maybe with a pirate hat etc as well. Depends what “stuff” means to your dd I suppose.

Is anyone else having trouble with hermes? I mean more than usual. I'm waiting for a couple of things and they just don't seem to be doing anything.

@herestoyoucolinrobinson In work we use a number of different couriers and it's been getting steadily worse over the last few weeks.

Where abouts in the country are you? I can't find them anywhere

I ordered a coat with Regatta on Monday 29th; it took a week to dispatch and Hermes have only just received it today. No sign of it leaving their distribution centre yet. Not an ideal time to be without a warm coat either, more fool me for not just buying a non-barganious coat.

@herestoyoucolinrobinson

Yes! Been waiting for two things from Hermes that have been on their tracking dispatched for over a week! What's going on?

I think there may have been a discount code for Sheepers many threads back but I can’t find it (and may have been imagining it). Does anyone have anything? I quite fancy a pair!

Made for drink are offering 25% off and free delivery on snacks with 25OFF

@Justyou I had gone by then but need to go again later or tomorrow because I didn't actually buy the thing I went in for (did buy 2 boxes of vegan truffles though) so if it's there I will get it

Thank u!

For those of you who ordered from Fossil, mine arrived today. I'm really happy with my purchase.

Also thanks to all who used my Papier referral code over on the Bargain Referrals thread

Baby car seat
Can anyone please recommend a suitable car seat- looking for our next car seat as DS has just turned 1. Just seems a mammoth task to decide on which to buy in terms of make but also durability. He’s come after many years ( older siblings are way into teenagehood )so it just feels like am doing everything for the first time. Please help with suggestions of especially if you have one you have used and can recommend. Thanks

I’ve had a last minute request for an etch a sketch as in the old fashioned one with the knobs. Amazon have one but it’s £35! Anyone know of a way to get it cheaper?

@Mumcube the Axkid minikid is fantastic. It's extended rear facing until around age 6 which is safest and has met all the higher safety testing. I bought mine from Margaret at rear facing toddlers, she's extremely knowledgeable and will talk you through everything

@Mumcube my one hint would be to try to get one that swivels. It was a godsend when they’re throwing a tantrum and you’re trying to wrangle them in to the car seat.
