Thread 10 - crushing grapes underfoot as we sprint towards Christmas

[UnaOfStormhold]

Looks like we need another thread so here goes. I'll stick the usual top of thread messages in a follow on post.

Please don't post affiliate links here, they need to go in the referral thread

Did someone have a code for goose and gander hoodies, please?

Re the smashed grapes offer I missed where you select the delivery date but I emailed them and asked for mid December delivery and they replied saying no problem.

<mumbles> and er maybe for smashed grapes

Large roll of brown paper - apart from Amazon any suggestions as to bargainous place to buy some from please - I need some for a Christmas craft project

Are people contacting Smashed Grapes about the leaks? I've ordered boxes as presents (posted directly to the recipients), so I'm a bit concerned now.

I can't remember who was looking for Yoda things but they have a section in Matalan. The fleecy baby Yoda hoodie has yoda ears!

@redjoker 8th for Jan for the meat (it won't last the weekend though)
DS has snaffled the olives - tiny pack like you'd get on a plane but they were nice (well the one I managed to get was!)

They currently have 20% off certain things and FREEPOST will get you free delivery until Monday.

honestly, and I know I sound dead narky here, but you know an oodie from the website is about £60. You know this is a quarter of the price and does the same job. It might be branded it might not, what’s the problem. If it arrives and you think it doesn’t do the job as it’s too thin fair enough. This happens every year with something, someone will post a lucky dip item for example and there’s a massive moan if everyone doesn’t get the same thing, one year it got quite nasty towards the person who originally posted in good faith.

if you want to guarantee a particular item I’m afraid you usually have to pay the premium to do it.

My serious musician son and his serious drummer friend both use drum pads for effects when they gig. Have a look on gear4music it’s over budget but my son has this www.gear4music.com/Drums-and-Percussion/Alesis-PercPad-Compact-Electronic-Percussion-Instrument/I01

Conscious Craft have some good savings on Wobbel boards, Triclimb, Grimm’s etc

I think it's a bit much to complain about something that was free 🤣

I paid for mine (albeit with the 50% code, but about £27 in total) and they're presents.

Giving feedback on leaking pouches also isn't the same as complaining. I'm sure they'd want to know.

Thank you @Talisin

Have you used them before? Never heard of them myself but sounds interesting

On m&s

Last year I started what I hope is a new tradition - Xmas Eve brunch with my son - pancakes, waffles, fruit etc

I just picked this up in Dunelm! I love it!

Also to whoever was looking for yoda items, Costco have oodie type things

I've used Conscious Craft @Cuwins - lovely shop and great service!

So tempted to buy the cat oodie but the pattern is upside down which will drive me mad lol

Thank you

@Cuwins second Conscious Craft being great - ordered from them a few times over the last few years and always reliable and good.

20% off selected sellers and items on eBay with code ‘bag20off’
just saved £60 on two bikes! Plus triple Nectar points too

@LutherRalph1 I love that! ❤

@torthecatlady , the cats may be upside down in the photo, but when you look directly down at them they will be the right way up!

(Yes, it put me off them too)

Some are even cuddling a ball of wool. 🧶
