Thread 9 - the one where we have (wax) meltdowns

[FireflyGirl]

We're up to 997 on the other thread so creating a place holder @Reastie.

As posted on the previous thread, TopCashback are offering £2 cashback on a £5+ spend.

I’d recommend frog bikes. They aren’t cheap but seems like plenty get sold in second hand. They’re lightweight and we found DD learnt to ride it without stabilisers on her first go. She’d had a cheaper heavier bike before and just couldn’t get the hang of it.

Thank you, just picked this up for my chaps stocking.

I've caved - 1l of Baileys on the way with my weekly shop! Too much of a bargain

Thanks for that tip @Claramay78 i got my dad a shirt reduced from £50 to £20 with free postage from Debenhams 👍 I had been looking at £35 on M&S for something similar.

Would really appreciate an o2 code for the decoration please if there's anyone willing to PM one? Thanks 🙏

O2 code JE28WR4IIO8J1

Toberlorone offer on Amazon, 5% voucher available, has a gift pack which includes the dark chocolate one as well

@Lovemusic82 , Boots has a Monty Bojangles advent calendar for £11.25, which they say is reduced from £15.

Received, thank you very much @NoWordForFluffy x

Thanks @crikeyisthatthetimez that would have made a good backup if I couldn't get a personalised thing. @OnionBag has saved the day though, Elf sash ordered and will be dispatched in a few days 😁 Thanks so much.

Very seem to have good deals on Garmin fitness trackers and I need to replace my Fitbit. Any recommendations? The Forerunner 45s and Venu sq 2 look like good deals.

In lidl from 19th Nov. £24.99

Is there a minimum spend for the free delivery for Debenhams ?

With the code FREEDEL ?

I have just bought 4 YC Wax Melt warmers for £10 (£9 with discount) at Boots. I added other bits including half price toothpaste and vitamin D tablets to reach a total of just under £28.

With the 10% discount code NEWAPP10 which @psuedocream3 gave us, this brought the total down to just over £25 so I got free delivery.

I have the venu and love it. I have small wrists and it is at the top end of what I deem acceptable in size.

Anyone recommend a good priced starter set of play doh? For a toddler

No - but it defaults to the £2.99 paid standard delivery. On the desktop site, the delivery options are detailed on the left of the screen. Scroll down through the options: the free delivery options are mixed in between the paid delivery options. You can selected free express or free next day if ordered by 10pm.

Thanks .
I will try again with the laptop.

AHH ...sorted it .
Didn't see the free options when you scroll down .
Thank you !

The Elf Prop Shop on Facebook have some birthday costumes etc

Great!

Try Aldi, I have seen them in there recently

They do A Birthday Tradition for the official Elf on the shelf. I got it for my DD who is also a Christmas baby. It comes with a book and a cake outfit.

I’d also echo recommendations of Frog, Hoy & Squish bikes. We’ve had a few of the former 2, they are lightweight and brakes etc kid sized. Join local bike sales Facebook groups to see adverts and you can also ask if anyone is selling.

Also, try to avoid stabilisers as they don’t really help and can cause the bike to tip when going round corners or catching on uneven pavements.
We had success with lowering the saddle and remove pedals so they can use as a balance bike. When more confident, raise saddle to appropriate height, put pedals back on and they'll be off! It will happen - we had one who couldn’t work out how to turn pedals at all but does long bike rides now.
