Thanks @Jinxjacobs I will hold off and try to remember to keep checking. She has the black space oodie dressing gown from a few years ago and she lives in it! She would def love the new bow one but I just can’t bring myself to give £75 for a dressing gown!

PinkPanther27 · 01/10/2025 22:42

I checked but they didn't have it. Thanks for the tip though 🙂

We have the vtech marble ones and they are really sturdy and have fun features. A four year old would need some help to learn how to do it but it gives many years of use.

Oh that’s good to know, thankyou 🙂 I’ll look at those again

Sorry @zacsGranny- Aluminum won’t work on induction. You need steel pans, I’d look at the ones specifically made for induction hobs eg made by aeg.

In general, you’re right Dodgethis, but lots of the cast aluminium le creuset style pans which are about have either a ferrous coating or steel base on them and do work on induction, but have the benefit of being much lighter than traditional cast iron 🙂 The ones I linked definitely work on induction, as do the tefal ‘air’ ones.

Regarding the Amazon candle lamps……..
I bought two which cost £13.49 each. I’ve just had a look at one (hadn’t unpacked them) and Im really really impressed with them.
So I’ve ordered another 5 for various people (cleaner, couple of girls at work) as they were about £9.40 each. Fabulous value - what can you get now for under a tenner??
Highly recommend them.

Mexicocalling · 01/10/2025 22:51

Thanks @Houseofsardines, that was one of my worries! I’ll look into the vtech one again, or go back to the drawing board for something else!

Screwball scramble is a blast from the past - I wonder if I still have that up in the loft somewhere?!

@reastie probably going to need a new thread tomorrow

Ah, thanks for that @Mexicocalling- we sadly had to throw out our aluminium pans (and even some which must have been mixed as they just weren’t magnetic enough 🤷‍♀️) so I’m still a bit grumpy about that I think 😂

Agree and they are great - I have several as the cast iron are too heavy for my arthritic hands

Long shot I know, but does anyone have a discount code for the LFC store. I need to buy shirts and they are more expensive than I thought!

There wont be anything dor the new season kits. Your best bet is to buy an LFC giftcard from Topcashback, and then go through TC to LFC to buy the shirt, then you should get cashback on both the giftcard and the purchase.

Is it the long sleeve shirts you are after? They are only available on LFC, but the short sleeve ones are available from Adidas, Sports Direct, JD, etc so you might have more luck getting a discount code for those stores.

Thanks @MindfulAndDemure, it is this seasons home short sleeved shirt, personalised I am mainly after. I will look at those suggestions.

Thanks for the Smiggle tip off! That is a huge amount of DD's stocking done!

Kittkats · 02/10/2025 08:10

Can anyone help find shoes like these for DD? Spotted on a friends floor, River Island, but clearly a long time ago! She says they’re her dream shoes! Size 7.

Closest I've seen is Esska Violets. Brown, 3 buckles, heel and platform. Not the same price as river island though!

Has anyone seen any penhaligons offers or dupes please? Usually crops up at least once here. It's the new perfume I'm after called the cut.
