@justnottinghill This Playmobil Junior: Airport Shuttle Bus 71682 was one of grandson's favourites at that age. Remember he used to call the driver Nerd for some reason.

@Withershins if you buy Byoma from their own website you get 25%, off when you buy 4 products.

We did Thomas land for Christmas last year and well worth it. They also sent a free ticket for an extra visit before the end of the year a few days later which was a nice touch.

Hi sorry just popping along to ask if anyone has any advice for some 8/9 year old girls hair accessories ideas? Not sure what sort of thing are in with that age range

Byoma or bubble very en-trend and good for young skin.

just double check the ingredients especially with Byoma as although it’s very popular with tweens and teens they do also do products for much older skin so make sure you don’t get anything with retinols in.

The Ordinary is also very good

Without knowing the child, length of hair style etc.. I’d say you can’t go wrong with satin or fluffy scrunchies. My 8yo DD currently loves her a stitch scrunchie.

Headbands and clips I find are very dependant on the child. I have 3 DDs all with long hair, all hated headbands and clips, occasionally I’d get a themed clip I but I’d never see it again because it would be pulled out and left somewhere.

I’ve just done pink and green fluffy scrunchies in party bags to go with a Wicked Theme other popular themes for this age are Wednesday and K-Pop Demon Hunters.

Further to Dreamland heated throws (still on offer) their underblankets (King/Superking) are also on sale. £29.99/£34.99

Use WINTERCHECK20 for further discount (on the underblankets) or WELCOME10 for first orders.

I have no clue about this sort of stuff, but hamleys have a yellow Switch reduced to £100 which seems like s good deal?

Does anyone know the kids sizing for Netflix shop please? After a Hunter/x tshirt for dd, she normally wears a 13-14 so was leaning towards an XL in kids? Or should I just go for a women’s small? I can’t measure her without raising suspicion and even if I could I still wouldn’t be able to figure out if the tshirt would be big enough!

@ChristmasJumperz just ordered 2 t-shirts. Thank you very much.

Happy birthday to your daughter

Why would you? You’re not going to get the items and you’ll need to argue the toss for your money back and even then, you’ve not spent enough for Section 75 to apply.

I'm being charged £18 postage for Nexflix shop 😱 Is that right???

Can you measure a t-shirt she has that fits as desired? Then compare this to the size guide

I think I worked it out, I ordered something, total came to £15.95, they took that from my bank and applied it as 'credit' to my account. The order arrived today and it used that credit to pay for it. Making it look free, when infact that £15 quid was my money,

Still nice deal. beer came in a nice box and the book is already wrapped ready for xmas!

This candle lamp is a tenner now (go all the way to checkout), I have my own on every day and love it, I have bought three as gifts

Does anyone know of anywhere selling rugby boots?
DS2 has expressed an interest in playing but don’t want to spend a fortune in case it doesn’t stick
He’s in men’s sizes too (size 9) so need the more expensive adult ones

Sorry if this is a daft question, but I have a lot of Yankee candles, do you think they would fit on the stand. Only asking as you have one. Thanks

We get my ds boots from sports direct. Usually a good range of prices as I refuse to pay for expensive ones. Decathlon near us sell them as .

Thanks, I had debated it but for £9.99 I have one arriving tomorrow!

@EvilHerbivore I would check vinted- I bet there’s some brand new in box ones on there for much less than you’ll find them in the shops. I’ve been buying all my kid’s rugby/football boots from there.

Emma Bridgewater have 20% off when buying 2 mugs. Includes the new Halloween and Christmas ones!

This is a large Yankee. I can make the shade higher too if needed

Yoto Flash Sale 48hrs only - 10% off players and protective jackets, I've popped my referral link on the referrals board if anyone's interested 😊
