Would anyone know of a discount code for The Works please? 🙂

Cooling towels?

Good evening all. Thanks for the many bargains! A different question here but so many of you are so knowledgeable about so many things so wondering if someone could help. 17 yo DS has started his own ‘event’, hiring venues and DJing/hiring other DJs etc. He had his second one last night and borrowed a sum up reader from our neighbour to use. I’d like to buy him his own for Christmas but have NO clue! Does anyone know? Are any of these ok? Any idea of which and why? Thanks so much in advance!

I’d recommend The Year of the Locust by Terry Hayes. It’s quite new out - author previously wrote I am Pilgrim. Excellent fast paced thriller.

@Woolabaloo looks like you are definitely on the right track 🙂

@tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz I used all the tricks here for a fossil purse for my mum and I felt like I had won the lottery 😂 the dopamine hit is real

@Woolabaloo look at Square for card readers too.

We use one when we are out on volunteer events and I just have the app on my phone go connect to the reader. Readers accepts contactless and chip and pin. Easy to use.

Whichever one you choose will have as fee per transaction so maybe have a look at that info before deciding

Ahh Fossil around Black Friday are excellent for deals especially with the tricks on this thread

@Flubadubba and @Beckafett

Thanks will see if I can get out to either of those shops x

@Woolabaloo I use a Zettle for craft fairs, not had a problem with it so far. It has an app for your phone so you can add products/keep inventory etc. I think the charges are 2% per transaction.

Big Bobble Hats have 30% off with code BIGFREEZE

apparently they have generous sizing and should fit my sibling who has a generous sized head

Does anyone have a code for under armour or Nike they could very kindly message me?

PLAY10 for 10% off but you may be able to find a better one than this….

Poundland have some cups of US candy for £2.50 which are a great wee stocking filler

@Mydoghealsmyheart I'm plus size & the Uniqlo bag is great. I also have a green version of this massimo dutti bag & it's good (this is Vinted)

I did a craft fare recently and put sum up on my phone for free. Was very easy and it took payments. This was a one off for me so did not want to buy a machine and having it on my phone was perfect.

@Woolabaloo there are two main types - one is the small square, this connects using an app on a phone so needs a phone to work. It is usually around £35, but often on offer. The other option is the 3g+ version which has its own connection - this needs a SIM card adding but is then standalone.

We use the small one with our phone, which charges using usb.

@Woolabaloo sorry should have said - that is using sumup! I use mine for a number of different charities, just have a different account for each one but use the same machine.

I’ve sent you a pm.

Some years ago, bakedin mug cake kits were a thing - I am looking for something similar? ready mix mug cake type things (without or without a mug!) for some teenagers with additional needs who need simple steps to adulthood 🙂I have found dr oetker ones in tesco - any other suggestions?

Thanks so much for your reply. That might be a better idea! As an aside can I ask, did you have to send ID to verify your account before you got your money paid out? We can’t work out if he needs to do this for a one off or if it’s only for over £5000. Thank you! Xxx

I gave an unexpected request I need help with please.
The smart ball soccer bot 🤷‍♀️
Its saying out of stock everywhere
Has anyone any ideas?
I’ve never heard of it before but I’d really love to get it for a child who doesn’t really ask for anything but he’s mentioned this today

@Woolabaloo no it went straight to the bank account i had linked to it. Actually was surprised it actually worked!!

Ok great, so definitely didn’t have to verify the account with a passport or driving license first? That’s amazing news if so! Thank you!

@handmademitlove Lidl had some pud in a mug sachets for 49p in various flavours yesterday. They're in the aisle of random food things that changes every week, not in the usual food aisle. Also found some Plopp sweets there 😂

I have been asked for The Hobbit classic hard back edition but it's £22 in Waterstones and £20.84 in WH Smith but with postage any ideas how I can get it cheaper
