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

I think I was looking at this the other week as I'm after a good rc vehicle that can withstand gravel, mud, driving over sticks etc. The wheels look polystyrene though, do they damage easily??

Nikko nano are really good. They are a decent remote control car make. It can go in water and on land.

Just to add to the oodie chat (sorry!) I ordered 2 in the summer from 5poundstuff both kuddly. Very impressed and actually too hot to wear at the moment!! They are shorter than I expected but still super cosy and warm. Im 5"8, it comes mid thigh, certainly not to my knees as I expected. But I have a longer body and shorter legs!

Dd1 (14) and I have dunhelm ones. These are super warm, but lighter material. More like the fleece blankets. If I'm honest I find this more comfy for everyday wear and so does dd1.

Dd2 (10) has a primark snuddie and loves it. Its very thick and warm sort of in-between thickness of the kuddly and dunhelm one! Isn't as wide as the kuddly or dunhelm one so suits her perfectly. Only negative is it has pockets on the side rather than the big pouch on the front. She has the ladies XS-S.

I have ordered another from 5poundstuff impulsively as dd1 adores otters so thought it would be perfect to even up present piles! It has arrived with Oodie packaging, I haven't checked it properly as she's been lurking around! Now I'm doubting whether she will like it as if oodies are as thick as people say she's going to find it too thick and heavy (I suspect she has sensory issues but never diagnosed, she won't wear coats due to the thickness and heaviness)

Now I really need to hide this thread as I'm done for the girls and and keep getting tempted!!

Was there a good deal on colouring pens a while back? Just realised I do need these now!

£9.99 for a pack of 24 Sharpies from B&M

there was a deal on Amazon too but the price has gone back up now

Beingacatbed · 12/11/2022 10:24

My oodies have arrived too.
the panda one is really thin, with a large tear down the back :(
avocado is lovely quality and otter cat came in oodie wrapping and feels the same as the avocado. Such a shame about the panda.

Beingacatbed · 12/11/2022 10:25

Whsmiths also have a pack of 30 sharpies for 12.49

BluOcty · 12/11/2022 10:30

The chat is great in general, but Oodie 'is it real' debate is quite a few pages long now, I think it would actually be helpful for posters to have a separate thread.

What's the best way to get a discount as a first-time buyer on very? I saw that there's 20% off if you sign up for credit - but I try to avoid credit cards so would rather have another route if possible. Is there anything else?

livingthegoodlife · 12/11/2022 10:36

70% black Friday deal at joules - some good stuff for next summer

BloodyMabel · 12/11/2022 10:43

Are there any M&S codes any more? I’ve nothing on my Sparks and need a new Christmas tree.

Or any recommendations for snowy trees under £100?

ChristmasCwtch · 12/11/2022 10:44

@BloodyMabel I always see good feedback on B&Q trees

QueenOfCakeandCoffee · 12/11/2022 10:45

My husband has just come up with a few ideas for his wish list - he would like some sheepskin slippers boots and Levi’s 512 jeans 36w x 34l….. if anyone has any codes / suggestions I’d be very grateful x

Joliana · 12/11/2022 10:50

My £5stuff orders are with whistl, and seems to take forever! is it the same delivery company for everyone? Just impatient! Thanks

My £5stuff ‘oodie’ came today. It was in a branded bag and has tags on. I haven’t opened it fully yet as I’ve bought it for a present but impressed with it so far!

Agreed. Not only that, but for those of us who have been on the threads from the beginning we have already had all of this debate when we bought the first haul from them back in July!

Thank you to whoever recommended parfum dreams in the previous thread. My parcel has just arrived and am so happy. Great bargains on perfume sets with them though they are based in Germany so you do wait a couple of weeks for delivery.

You could probably get both of those from Debenhams. I've definitely bought Levis for DH there before. They have a sale on at the moment

My tickets for My Fair Lady on the M&S app are for Cardiff...!

@Octoberfishing

Whats the M&S deal please?

Puffalicious · 12/11/2022 11:22

Sorry to add on, but to the PP saying the Oodies stink, mine didn't at all (pack of 6). One was for my own birthday so I wore it immediately out of the packet. I'm delighted with the quality- so cosy and thick. Strange.

Worriedmum42 · 12/11/2022 11:23

Has anyone ever seen deals including Black Friday for Ooni pizza ovens?

It's not a credit card. It's a credit account, so whatever you buy goes on to your account and you can either pay it off in full or in installments. So you could just make full payment for it when you receive it and still get the 20% discount

I have been pondering an order from them @Sisisimone, may I ask what you ordered?
