@LBOCS2 blimey, congratulations! Which lottery please, the national one?

2023willbegreat · 27/11/2022 19:00

@Snowflakes2, the problem with the current eBay turtledoves fingerless gloves is that they are not 100% cashmere. I don’t know how warm the cashmere mix ones will be. The cashmere ones may come back into stock, though.

@MistletoeMouse, my warm hands thank you very much for posting the original eBay link.

Thank you for the new thread
These have been so helpful

LBOCS2 · 27/11/2022 19:02

This one @Scout2016 :) just check in once a week, apply for tickets and then you get an email to tell you if you've won. Lots of the shows have them - we saw School of Rock a number of times this way!

BeaLola · 27/11/2022 19:02

@Scout2016 not sure if bargainous but I would look for hotel ideas on Secret Escapes - I stayed in the Leonardo Bristol in the summer via Secret Escapes (admittedly not London) but was really lovely & superb stay.

Premier Inn ?

@Elphaba17 beauty bay does Florence by Mills.

However I will say Dd really reacted to it and there are other reports online of others being the same. I'm sure some / most are ok but just in case your Dd has sensitive skin I thought I'd mention it.

Just practicing. Thanks.

I suffer quite badly from Raynauds, are Turtle Doves really good for it? I have tried so many types of gloves but the other thing that worked was a muff with a handwarmer in it. A bit impractical when you have kids jackets to button up etc (also i looked ridiculous)

M&S had their House of Whips (dubious name, contains walnut whips) chocolate advent calendars reduced from £10 to £8 today.
Perhaps they’ll start reducing all their chocolate advent calendars soon.

If I had very cold hands I’d wear a pair of Turtledoves fingerless cashmere gloves underneath a bigger pair of mittens, possibly sheepskin ones.

Double layers with air in between, plus when you have to remove your mittens to do something delicate like buttoning up jackets you still have the fingerless gloves keeping you warm.

Checking in too 😊
Love the title thread. Speaking of which, has anyone seen the chocolate recently? I'm still after a bar.....

RainbowPhilosophy · 27/11/2022 19:21

I've just had yet another email from Look Fantastic saying that they have an extra 15% off from 7-10pm tonight with the very imaginative code... EXTRA15 😁

Blessedbethefruitz · 27/11/2022 19:23

Thanks @Puffalicious My ds is only almost 4 alas so suitability is tricky! He likes playing his dad's old ds/megadrive/super nintendo - Mario and sonic, and echo the dolphin - and on the laptop, but I'm keen for very open platform games where it's impossible to lose per say! I'm not a gamer and we have no regularly used consoles as the old ones need a different TV to be lugged out. Kirby was also on my list...

BluOcty · 27/11/2022 19:39

@AnotherOne4 how about these reduced Jelly Belly beans from Broadway Candy? I made an account and left a basket and they sent me a reduced delivery code of £2.95. But I can see there's a black friday popup too. I got the Belly Flops before and there were only 3 or 4 flavours in the bags which I was a bit gutted about as I bought 1kg!!

user143677433 · 27/11/2022 19:42

Thanks for the ASOS Neom tip in the previous thread (code ALLIN). I got 25% off the already reduced reed diffuser, which brought it within budget having missed out on Neom’s own offer last week, and then I snagged the well-being pod and mini too. One will be my own Xmas present and the other will get put away for SIL’s birthday.

Serenitesanta · 27/11/2022 19:54

A plea for any one who might have a discount code for ‘ Roco clothing’ - I think there’s possibly a nhs discount or student discount available if anyone was kind enough to please take a moment to look.

Scout2016 · 27/11/2022 19:55

@BeaLola will check them out thank you.

@LBOCS2 I had no idea that existed, thank you! This thread is a wonder.

Oh thank-you 😊
I've just signed up and they sent me two codes (20% off and 10% off) They don't stack, but I'm happy with 20% off!
I might leave it for a bit, see if they email with a better offer 😉

Amazonmulu · 27/11/2022 20:03

Can anyone recommend / suggest an advent calendar for me for approx £10-£15? I'm really stuck and at this rate he will just get a chocolate one 🙈🙈

ChristmasCwtch · 27/11/2022 20:10

Just been chatting away to myself on the old thread 15 🤦🏼‍♀️

What was the BakedIn deal please? I’ve scrolled back 10 pages and can’t see it. Thanks 😊

Was looking for Men's Nivea Sensitive Gift Set. This is a good deal from Amazon. It's £20 on Boots

Does anyone know the best way to buy big amounts of Match attack cards? My ds has asked for some and has seen a big box of 36 packs.
