Just to say a thank you for whoever recommended the Exit escape room advent calendar. Started today and it’s so fun!

Random one but does anyone know of a discount code for Bosie the Shetland jumpers company? DH is treating me to a real Shetland jumper and I want to ease the pain a bit

Can anybody help me find a bargain on some scented tea lights for a dear friend going through a tough time, and she has pets (including stick insects) so I'm thinking soy or beeswax would be best, and I need a mix of scents. They're only a small part of her gift so I need a bargain.

Hello,
can anyone help with the best deal for a sim for a child? He is getting his first phone and I know you can get free sims but I wondered if there are any good deals where we might get a bundle.

I know giff gaff have £6 a month for 1gb data and texts and calls. Anyone seen anything cheap than that?

thanks

We all have plusnet sim only deals. They are owned by BT and piggyback off EE so we have good coverage in our area. As we also have plusnet broadband we get extra data.

Anyone seen Lucky Charms cereal in b&m or hone bargains this year? Santa always brings some but I can’t get them this year - and won’t pay Amazon prices!!

Babynumberthreeee · 01/12/2022 20:31

@OdeToAutumn worth looking at sky mobile. £7 for 3gb, 12gb for £12 etc. Data rolls over if its not used and if they run out data Internet is cut off so no unexpected bills

Wondering if anyone can recommend a good scooter for a 4 (almost 5) year old. She has pretty decent balance and co-ordination (doesn't take after me) but i think she'll not be ready for a 2 wheeled one just yet.

Depending on budget, life ryder scooters are fantastic. My 5 year old neice has had one from she was 4. My son who is almost 13 also has one. Can adjust heights and they sell the design stickers so can change theme as they get older

They have the big boxes in Chocolate flavour at Ocado and also individual cups. If you’ve never ordered from them before I think you can get 25% off your first shop over £60 with the code VOU6855304.
A pp had mentioned that they have large discounts on advent calendars at the moment so you might want to grab a bargain for next year on book/Lego calendars?

I've just switched my kids to ID mobile this year. Their cheapest is 4gb plus unlimited calls and texts for £6.

chillimice · 01/12/2022 20:55

@OdeToAutumn have you checked uswitch? There's a Lebara SIM only deal for £4.95 for 5GB.

MerylSqueak · 01/12/2022 20:56

@Serenitesanta I saw Lucky Charms there last week.

DD has just put up the little wooden Christmas tree we all got a few years back. It's still cute!

OdeToAutumn · 01/12/2022 21:01

Thank you @Luckycatt @chillimice @Babynumberthreeee @Waterlemon
i went with Lebara as it was the cheapest for now and I don’t think he will need much data. It’s rolling 30 days so I can always change in future if I find we need more.

OdeToAutumn · 01/12/2022 21:04

Spotted some squishmallow sets in Costco today called all about squish. They were £31 inc VAT. Online they seem to be over £40 elsewhere. Lots of stationery type things in there

@lightisnotwhite @Fuckingfuckssake thank you!

No thank you. I see someone has tried my referral link. Hope it’s helpful for both of us.

Dancingqueenwannabe · 01/12/2022 21:08

has anyone seen any offers on joycons for the Nintendo switch (or whatever the expensive controllers are called). I saw some deals on them but missed them due to not being payday yet and now they are full price everywhere! Thanks in advance

lightisnotwhite · 01/12/2022 21:08

And even if it’s not it’s worth comparing anyway.

I bit the bullet and ordered from Argos as they kept going out of stock and I was a bit concerned they wouldn’t arrive it time!
I managed to get £5 off by signing up to Argos marketing emails here

Good deal on qvc for NEOM.

Set

check top cash back, also referral thread and £5 off if you are a new customer.

Fuckingfuckssake · 01/12/2022 22:04

Without wishing to bang on about Lebara, it's half price for 6 months with a referral, so £2.50 for 3GB and unlimited calls and texts, such a good deal.
