does anyone know when waitrose open up delivery slots for people without a delivery pass? articles I've read online say "late september" but it's the 29th, how much later are we getting?

I had an email about two weeks ago and booked mine last Wednesday for delivery on 23rd December. Have a look in your spam folder just in case.

If you’re looking for a Radio Times bargain subscription but you’ve already had one - and it does say in the Ts and Cs that it’s only for new subscribers - consider asking someone else who lives at your house if they can sign up instead.

I imagine the RT is shared asset in many households.

Bags of these jelly sweets in B&M for £1, they're a popular TikTok trend apparently!

Photo didn't attach! They were in the drinks section in our branch

What price do the Guinness book of records normally reduce to? Currently £10 on Amazon but am I wrong thinking they usually drop to £4.99?

I've checked my spam folder, zero messages, and can't book via the website.

This was me! Thanks so much for offering that's really kind. I've since found out the book I was looking for was never actually published! Its advertised on one of the books but not all of them. A kind Mumsnetter on another thread had a look into it for me and it didn't make it to the publish stage. Very random but saves me hunting.

I do appreciate your offer though thank you.

Ahhh! How annoying! I have been searching vinted for you hoping for a magical Santa delivery haha!

@Christmasmcchristmasface thanks you so much - ordered.

Hello!
Can anyone recommend some hot chocolate flakes please?
Santa would like to put some in my Xmas stocking! Santa knows that I dont like the m&s flakes though, and that I may also like some orange hot choc as well!

Thanks all! (I promise Santa isnt me!) 😁

I bought pendragon hot chocolate flakes after seeing them recommended on here last year. We'll love it so much we now buy the large bulk bags. They do an orange flavour and also have some flavour drops that you can add to the regular hot chocolate although I've not tried the drops yet.

As someone who works in (a different area of) publishing, I once worked for a publisher that advertised a new book in the series for moee than 30 years before it finally published 😆 (my boss once had a manuscript given to her that had apparently been delivered 42 years late...)

Wow and it was still finally published. I'll keep an eye out. Would be funny if it was published when she turned 40 or something 😂

Waitrose Christmas delivery food slots come out on 1st October. They were originally available first for delivery pass holders, then a few days later for those who order regularly (I've placed an order weekly for 10 years, so I got an email to say I could book from last Wednesday and had a countdown on my account for 7 days leading up to the slots being available for me)

Set your alarms for just after midnight tomorrow night to guarantee the slot you want!

If anyone is looking for some teenage style jewellery Lovisa has a lovely wee sale on. DD has asked for waist jewellery and most of it was reduced from £14/16 down to £3!

thanks, I don't shop with them regularly so not had any email. I got in touch with them on instagram and actually got a pretty quick reply to say they should be available on wednesday

The fleece lined hooded jackets on Amazon linked to upthread are now down to £8.99. I've just ordered one for MIL.

Well when I was told mine would become available on Wednesday 24th September, I woke up at 2am and was able to book then. I've done the same in previous years, so fingers crossed it should be the same for any time after midnight on Tuesday night for 1st October slots.

Weirder things have happened. That said, there are so many of those Rainbow Fairy books in the series, she might well be 40 before she gets to the end!

Hi,

Has anyone had any experience of the Mighty music player

My 8 year old has got into music recently and has set up playlists on my Spotify account. It would be great if there were a way to play these without stealing my phone. She’s too young to have her own phone and although you can play Spotify through our tv, she likes to listen to music in the bath and in her bedroom.

I'd not heard of the Mighty music player tbh but wondered if it wouldn't be cheaper to buy an Amazon Echo Dot for kids? We haven't had a kids one so I don't know for sure but I assume it can be connected to Spotify?

Two tips for TopCashBack today:

£2 cashback on a £5 purchase: activate the promotion then go for it. I always buy a voucher for something I’ll use (Tesco, Costa etc) through TopGiftCards.

20% cashback at Superdrug.

if there is anyone left on these boards not already using topcashback (difficult to believe!) there’s eleventy billion referral codes on the other board, so pick one from there and make someone’s day!

I amnit using topcashback, but think I should be. If you have a code, I am happy to use it :)
