With turtle doves does anyone know the percentage of cashmere? I can't find it on the website.

They should be 100% cashmere as far as I'm aware. They only ask for 100% cashmere jumpers to recycle anyway.

@nocutsnobuttsnococonuts
How do you add a birthday? I have just signed up with them and opted in to e-mails and their catalogue but can't see anywhere to add a birthday

If you log into your account on the entertainer it has a section called jacks birthday club and you can add up to 10 birthdays 😊

Cuwins · 10/08/2022 14:57

Thanks @nocutsnobuttsnococonuts I was reading your post wrong and thought you were talking about smyths

You lot are absolute penguin finding machines, thank you! Will give the John Lewis one a go, I have some vouchers to use up.

@mummyof2boys30 we saw quite a few in our local garden centres recently. If you have a Dobbies nearby they tend to have a sale on around now and you can also get discounts or points with the membership cards. Failing that, supermarkets are generally pretty good for things like that.

Anyone who bought the No7 set from boots and didn't check it - I received mine yesterday and it's only got two body milks and two shower gels and nothing else!

newroundhere · 10/08/2022 15:06

I'm pleased you could use it @Carrotmum i love the idea of turtle Doves but cashmere makes me itch so I can't wear them. My mum loves her wrist warmers

I would email Boots, they normally refund if there's a problem. I ordered 1 set and all ok fortunately. Wish I'd ordered 2!

Thanks for the tip, checked mine and thankfully both sets are complete. I hope Boots process your refund quickly, or send you a new box as they appear to be in stock online.

Hi, I'm sure I didn't imagine it (Or see it on another thread?) but a PP linked to a oversized hoodie that did up at the front. I've been through the thread and can't seem to find it. The original PP was asking about one for her 83 year old relative. I'm looking for one for my mother. Thanks for any help.

Openmouthinsertfood · 10/08/2022 18:22

Scratch that, I have found it on another thread, sorry!

EverydayIsPJday · 10/08/2022 18:50

@Openmouthinsertfood sorry to jump in but last year I bought a zip dressing gown from Asda similar to the attached link. It was £8 at the time (around September) it's incredibly warm and comes down to my knees, I'm 5ft6. They had pink and grey at the time. Didn't know if these are worth throwing out there for people who might not want the hood bit of an oodie iyswim or an alternative to the wacky designs that oodies often are (although I adore my sloth one!) the other pro is you can unzip it if you get too hot but not hot enough to take it off completely.

Asda zip gown

EverydayIsPJday · 10/08/2022 18:52

Try again Asda gown

EverydayIsPJday · 10/08/2022 18:52

The have a mauve one ATM for £20 but it's full price.

Openmouthinsertfood · 10/08/2022 18:59

Thank you @EverydayIsPJday I will show those to my mum too. Smile

Plaidparty · 10/08/2022 19:07

Boots have some Orchard games at good prices.

not marked as reduced but much cheaper than wise where

Isonthecase · 10/08/2022 19:45

They had some of the tender leaf toys people were buying from the party bag place in tk maxx today, may be worth a look locally. Also some of the fake squish mallow toys but they still felt lovely and squishy, and the Ty sparkly ones kids seem to love these days.

DandelionPocket · 10/08/2022 19:53

Lovely independent shop in Sheffield doing 50% off jewellery atm, bought some earrings for sisters and will do very nicely Moonko

VolcanicProtectorMan · 10/08/2022 19:54

@Plaidparty thank you, they were good prices, ordered two for my DD for xmas and one each for my nieces!

NoWordForFluffy · 10/08/2022 20:01

I didn't qualify for the HIGHFIVE John Lewis discount, but didn't discover I had £10 off an order made in the app. So I ordered a jigsaw as a Christmas present. We can C&C at a local Co-Op which is handy.

NoWordForFluffy · 10/08/2022 20:10

Did, not didn't! 🙄🤣

LostMyRubySlippers · 10/08/2022 20:26

I have a code for £5 off £50 spend at Argos, runs out at midnight tonight, single use only!

sorry just to post here, would’ve sent it to someone who needed it by PM, but I’m away & might not get chance to check my phone much before it runs out!

Hi, for those who ordered from the Original Party Bag company, have you received your orders? I ordered last Thursday and received a shipping email last Thursday but nothing since?

Hi, for those who ordered from the Original Party Bag company, have you received your orders? I ordered last Thursday and received a shipping email last Thursday but nothing since?

I ordered last Thursday too and no order yet. I had an email within an hour to say it had been dispatched but nothing since and it's not allowing me to track it either. It could just be that they're overwhelmed with orders but I must admit I'm a bit worried!!

Anyone else ??

LDB0383 · 10/08/2022 21:26

Exactly the same, dispatch email within the hour which I thought was strange at the time… downloaded the ‘shop’ app it recommends which shows as shipped but no tracking. I sent them an email yesterday asking for further info but no reply yet.
