can I ask.....is it a good axe? is it a bargain (given these threads)
DH has an axe which is RUBBISH and it would be nice to get him a good oneGrin

Half price!

Disaster! I ordered DS18 a Didrikson's waterproof, warm Parka he loves it but says it's too long (note- DS that's what a parka IS 🤨) Anyhoo, he wants more jacket length but not a puffa style- big hood, warm, totally waterproof khaki green is best, if possible. £200 budget. Please wise MNers help! 🙏

Just wanted to see drop a note ref my recommendation for the Method bundle - my first 2 lots arrived fine with two bottles in each. On a third delivery (stocking up for about 2 years the amount I have bought....) they only delivered the clementine. Looking at my invoice on this they have changed the line listing which is only showing the clementine reflected on the invoice/order history. I repeatedly tried to explain this on chat and get them to look at my earlier orders but they did not understand. They did offer me a return less refund though so got to keep all bottles and a full refund. Just wanted to post in case anyone else had an issue thanks

Does anyone know what the Smashed grapes code was, for the cheese and wine box? We've just had the cheese (family weekend away, so saved it), and it was bloomin' lovely!

I've tried searching, but nothing is coming up.

Thank you

It was FRCW56842Z - worked on all of the tasting boxes.

Tinywaffle · 26/11/2022 15:19

@RedKite99 - are you sure they were meant to be delivered together? I also ordered but noticed it’s been split into two orders and two deliveries on my Amazon account now ( looks like
the clementine is delayed slightly for me).

Holidayqueen1 · 26/11/2022 15:25

Maybe a bit niche but has anybody come across any deals for Champneys Tring? I bagged the Champneys pamper from boots half price in the sale last year which included a free spa day!! They don’t seem to be doing one this year and the half price offer they have online is far more than the headline price they are advertising! Thank you!

Hi all, been a lurker on these threads for a long time but never posted. I wanted to ask if anyone knew a way of getting the skull shaver silver pro shaver cheaper than £74.99 as its already reduced to that on their website but still a little out of my budget? Thanks in advance.

Also not sure if it’s been recently mentioned but baileys 1l is back down to £10 at Amazon.

My method bottles came separate too, with the clemantine being the later package also. Just wanted to say thanks to whoever posted about A Game Of Cat And Mouth, it came today and what a laugh we had (but is it possible to get the black ball from the nose or have we just not mastered the knack to getting it out yet?!)

On a side note: I ordered a top from Matalan a few days ago, today I got a one time use 20% discount on a £30 spend MatalanMe email (not sure if the buy was relevant but might be worth checking your emails!)

Does anyone have any recommendations for gifts related to genealogy for a newbie who has recently become interested in learning more about their family tree? Any recommendations for a particular site or ideas for recording findings? Thank you in advance!

I think I got the right site, multitasking atm! Do you have TopCashBack?

Please help! DS's laptop has broken and he'd like to replace it with a v expensive Macbook Air (512, 16GB). The Apple educational offers don't seem to cover this spec - is that right? Is anyone else more savvy than me? Or would anyone know the cheapest place to buy this? 🙏

Ancestry subscription! It’s really addictive once you get going.

BiteyBitingBiters · 26/11/2022 15:51

@APotatoFlewAcrossTheRoomLastNightExcuseTheMess thank you, it’s a different site though, the one my husband has asked for is from skullshaver.co.uk. Had a quick look on that one though and they look the same and cost the same but with cashback on that site. Unsure what to do now, thank you again :)

LittleMrsJendle · 26/11/2022 15:51

Hi all! Long time lurker here finally got something to contribute!

Rent, Shuffle and Roll are a board game rental site where you rent different games each month. Hubby and I love them and they are doing 10% off gift cards with 10BF2022! Would be a great gift for board gamers if you aren’t sure what they already have and they have a bunch of kids games too.

We got both DSs reconditioned Macbooks last year from Loop Mobile and they were really good.

If anyone has MLP or care bear snag tights they don't want I have an adult dd who would love some, I'd be happy to buy them off you.

Do you know what size your DD has?
I have placed an order, I didn't realise that you can find out what you're getting, I'll check if there are any

@RainbowPhilosophy so sorry looks like it was for one day only, yesterday

I've just tried and it works for me

CornishGem1975 · 26/11/2022 16:13

Anyone seen any boxes like The Spicery but not as expensive? They look pretty but seem quite dear.

Gardenworm · 26/11/2022 16:24

@Wheretowhereto if you don't have the JD Sports app I got 20% off the other day for downloading and ordering through it. I can't remember if there's a code but may be worth looking.

ClosedAuraOpenMind · 26/11/2022 16:33

remember the £6 mini waffle makers from urban outfitters a few threads back.....well I ordered 2 (and that's all I've been charged for) but I seem to have 6!
I've just opened the boxes - probably about a month after receiving them - and discovered there were three lots of 2
I think a few of DDs friends will be getting them this christmas!

I need to buy something for my sister in law who is travelling over from the US for Christmas and I need some inspiration....

Gift needs to be packable (small/light/not fragile), she's in to eco friendly/local things.

Any ideas welcome, budget £30-50

Something for her to feel cozily welcomed.some slipper boots and pjs maybe.
a oversized hoody or jumper
does she have her ears pierced
nice scarf

2023willbegreat · 26/11/2022 16:36

@Mama1980 , I might be happy to pass on some MLP/Care bear tights too, if you let us know what size your DD needs.

Here’s a link to the size guide.
