@OnionBag Hello from another poster in Guernsey! Do you find that less and less places will send to here now? Sainsburys is my latest loss, who now won’t send here. @Sideorderofchips Hope you’re safe in Jersey too. I will be checking the fences and conservatory roof all night.

My 50% off wild child order arrived at some point in the last 24h. Didn’t hear the door go at any point and DH only noticed the parcel out the back when he looked through the window. Not sure which delivery company it was. Warmie, book, jumper and hand warmer all sodden :(

They could have left it in the more accessible (and dry) porch too!

With the bad winter weather- keep an eye out for your parcels!

Can anyone remind me of the look fantastic deal. Advent calendar and beauty chest. I remember seeing something and have an awful feeling I missed something amazing 😂

Amazonmulu · 01/11/2023 18:40

I'm catching up post work - what's the crumpet deal? 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑

Outonaschoolnight · 01/11/2023 18:40

Lots of Boots and Superdrug offers on - there’s some good stocking fillers on Superdrug for £5-£10.

Oh blooming heck. I've looked at those crimpets before and thought a bit pointless but I've noticed there is a wrap version......:I think I need that for my teen.

CowCatsRule · 01/11/2023 18:53

Those talking about doing hampers for school staff, my old class used to band together to do this. We would all put in what we wanted to contribute and hand it over saying please can everyone involved in the class take something. Worked well and we were thanked by office staff etc who are normally forgotten.

dizzygirl1 · 01/11/2023 18:54

Annoyingly I want 1 of each crimpit rather than 2 of the same! 😫

OnionBag · 01/11/2023 18:59

@SeaGlassTreasure hi! Yes it’s annoying how many are pulling out or charging extortionate postage fees.

Yes @dizzygirl1! I was just thinking the same thing as I'm getting one for a secret Santa gift for someone!

Hope everyone stays safe tonight!!

Me too!! Have searched and can't find anything

There a possibility we might need a crimpit swap thread

Someaddedsugar · 01/11/2023 19:26

I've gone with the Crimpit wrap version - think I might add some hot sauce, a pack of wraps and a beer as a little secret Santa hamper.

Igglepiggleandhisboat · 01/11/2023 19:27

Am possibly being stupid. Do I buy one crimpit and they send two of the same?

Caterpillargirl23 · 01/11/2023 19:31

@Igglepiggleandhisboat
Yes I think so, I've put one in the basket and there are two showing as I head towards checkout.

hotchocdrinker · 01/11/2023 19:34

I ordered from the Turtle Doves EBay store on Monday. I ordered two pairs of non-cashmere wool fingerless gloves in grey. £7.19 each when you order two pairs, with free delivery. They've arrived today and I've got two pairs of cashmere ones. Absolute bargain!!

poostinkywink · 01/11/2023 19:47

Heritage of Scotland have a sale - everything seems discounted and there are some real gems to be had. Cashmere scarves, lambs wool scarves, fudge, Harry Potter, stranger things, purses, gift wrap, friends stuff - it’s a real mix and if you use code WICKED you get an extra 15% off and free delivery in U.K. The code is only until tonight though…

I was thinking similar, theming it mexican with desperadoes beer and Mexican style bits.

”i do not need a crimpit”
“I do not need a crimpit”
”I do not need a crimpit”

Or do I? I don’t really understand them, are they just a device that crimps your bread together? Dd has a microwaveable toasty maker so I don’t think she will need a crimpit, she’s a uni student that hates cooking but loves toasties. Do I need one?

You do need a crimpet.
I showed them to my only male colleague for his opinion as I'm getting them as male stocking fillers and he said they looked amazing!

Doopydoo · 01/11/2023 19:56

What’s the delivery cost for the crumpets please, can’t see it on the site

Doopydoo · 01/11/2023 19:56

Just clocked it £2.99

Dee1224 · 01/11/2023 19:57

£2.99 @Doopydoo for Crimpets. I was going to get one but reviews seem to
indicate that the square ones only really work on Warburton thins, which is a bit restrictive!
