if anyone is still after a retro football shirt, JD sports seem to have some on sale

m.jdsports.co.uk/search/retro/sale/?sort=price-low-high

I don't suppose anyone has a student code for virgin experience days they wouldn't mind sharing please?

@Skullerymaid how did you do it? I tried to use the resolution centre but it was asking all sorts of questions about if I'd contacted the seller and stuff 🙄

@Blisterlip I'd rec a rechargeable hand warmer too- so it fits in a pocket & you can take it when out in the cold. Or an electric hot water bottle

Not a student discount but HSF25049037 might work.

Fluffy socks and pyjamas, a nice mug for hot chocolate, blanket scarf, dare I say fake oodie - I love to be cosy! 😁

@AnyIdeas1 WRAP20 for 20% off if you buy two experiences

I'm DONE! I was done days ago, but after twitching on MORE books, a Groot soft toy, Honestly Eco, MandMDirect and going a bit mental on BNWT on Vinted I am NOT buying retro shirts. I'm not 🙈 Some lovely ones, though. 🤣

Folk go on about teens being hard to buy for, I'm the opposite, i see loads and loads of stuff for mine!!!

I need to stay OFF these threads!

I know! I was done, but ended up buying a 90s shirt for DH and hoodie for myself 😱

Is there anyway of getting free delivery for JD does anyone know please? They have a retro shirt DH would love but they never seem to have anything I want as a click and collect option and I really don't want to pay 4 quid delivery.

Can anyone find me a miniature set of aftershaves! My DS has asked for aftershave but he doesn’t know which one, I can only see ones from the same brand like Versace rather than a mix, or does this not exist!

@Noname3 cocktail bar in a jar are fab. They come in little jam jars and local to me but they deliver too. Taste like proper cocktails, some ready made cocktails are horrible but not these one.
Tapp'd are worth a look too.

They used to do them in Boots and I think the perfume shop used to do a set with a voucher so you could buy the one you liked but seems they’ve all stopped.

I found this site with a couple of different ones and they sell other one brand sets quite cheap so could get a few maybe?

Actually this one looks better @Whyisitsodifficult

here is good but the samples are very small, only good for a couple of uses each though

OMG !
I feel like I have just entered the wardrobe leading to Narnia !

I stupidly put a friend's birthday present in the Christmas present storage in a section of my wardrobe .
Obviously...the box was at the bottom 🤣

I have had to take stuff out and found things I absolutely do no remember buying .

And now I can't get everything back in as neatly.

Time for wrapping soon I think .

And then just store in black bags .

I am so 3xcuted of the silly things I have bought the DC 's for their stockings that I forgot about .

Just over an hour to go to see if M&S give me a nice freebee to help with the wrapping.

Except the wrapping paper hasn't arrived yet !

Can any of you clever lot help?

I have 2 buyagift vouchers that I bought last year for junior driving experiences.

They expire today. I stupidly thought that meant I needed to just log on and boom the session by today, but although there is a “book online” option, the track near us isn’t on it.

I could pay to extent the voucher, but at £20 each that’s nearly what I original paid.

They give an option to exchange the voucher for a different experience, but that still gives the same expiry date.

In theory there seems to be an option to “bank” the value if exchanging for a cheaper experience, but I can’t seem to get it to work.

Any ideas before I lose my money?

Has anyone got their scrawlr box order? It worried it is a scam. I ordered weeks ago, didnt hear anything. Waa then told one of my boxes was sold out, I replied immediately to that and still haven't heard.

They are christmas presents for SIL, so annoyed..

I ordered from them in their last sale and those came.
But I've had the same thing - an email about a box being out of stock and then nothing.

Actually, ignore that. I worked it out 😊

I added both vouchers, exchanged them for the cheapest thing available (an online yoga class) which then let me “bank” the difference, which was most or the original cost of the two vouchers.

When I checked out it then sent me a voucher for the yoga class which expires today, and a separate credit note for the balance which is valid for another year, so I will then be able to use that to repurchase the driving experience.

Ah I just checked my inbox - one email apologising for the delay personally, and a general one warning about delays.
Fairly good comms, so hopefully they arrive soon once they recover from the rush.

Sorry if it's already been asked but has anyone seen any good online deals for Squishmallows?
Thank you!

@Noname3 I've used Boxtails in the past and liked them
BRINGITHOME gets 15% off, valid till 5pm Friday

@BloodyMabel and @deeplybaffled spot on just the sort of thing I was looking for but couldn’t find! Thank you.
