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

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.

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 Thanks

I don't know if any of you use shein but if you do please be very wary. They've recently recalled two items for containing dangerous amounts of lead (believe it was a toddlers coat and a toddlers bag). They've also recalled stuff for not meeting fire safety requirements. There's a tab on the site where you can see what they've recalled if you're worried.

On a happier note, if you're looking for a lovely Christmassy family read I can thoroughly recommend The Christmas Pig by JK Rowling, it's magical and wonderful and nostalgic.

@SFisnotsimple

Not entirely Christmas related, but trying to add stuff to my Ocado order has been fraught - a trip in the car to Sainsbury's and they had everything. Not talking anything weird - cat food, cinnamon sticks, pistachios! Not sure what is going on with Ocado.

They're in my bad books this week too. No chocolate biscuits in my delivery. Apparently they had no substitutes. For biscuits FFS Xmas Hmm

I did get the Percy Pig musical tin though for £8.50. Saved me having to get to M&S to get it (and only 50p more)

Does anyone know how to get stock alerts? I'm trying to buy an Xbox series X, which are so hard to come by. Any help would much appreciated 😊

@thaegumathteth Thank you so much. How long have you been waiting? You'd think they'd release loads so that they get lots of money!

@MadeForThis I also was in the same predicament re happy nappers especially reading some of the reviews. I ended up buying the Costco copy ones although they still cost me £60 for the two. This was around one month ago. I’m really impressed with the quality so far

I don’t know if I put this on an earlier thread but check your Neom boxes from look fantastic. Mine had 2 items missing. They did part refund me but I was gutted. Just in case anyone has wrapped it for Xmas without checking x

@AnimalTheDrummer I’ve been in 2 works in the last 3 days and both of them had it and it was £3. I’m Kent if that makes a difference.

To the lady looking for the primark XL mens pyjamas. (So sorry I can’t remember your name!) I have been looking for you and only ladies and kids left in the ones I’ve been in but I’m going to bluewater Sunday and it’s a much bigger store so will look for you then and let you know.

Could anyone recommend a seller on Etsy good for bath bombs please. I usually use Mrs bubble on Facebook but I only need 2 bath bombs and it’s £4 for delivery.

I've just dragged all the presents from the loft and my 6 year old needs an extra gift 🙄. Her younger brother has got some 'exciting' big boxed toys so need to get one more thing.
I'd prefer not to go cheapy and actually get something she'd use/play with. Any ideas? I was thinking Lego but of course have now missed all the bargains! Any other suitable suggestions - or directions to cheap Lego Grin (so hard to pay full price when you know what the discounted previous costs have been!!).

Thanks all! x
