Sorry I just checked, I received confirmation at 7am not 9am.

Gah paypal won’t work for paying at George! Keeps saying paypal isn’t available and to use a different payment method. Anyone else having issues?

nothingtoseehereatall · 06/10/2025 15:43

@ZeroDucksLeft Worked ok for me earlier (not helpful, I know!) Hopefully a temporary glitch in their system.

Doh! I really shouldn't be unsupervised on the internet after being up all night. I forgot to add the code! I have emailed them and cheekily asked if they would refund the difference. I'll update with an answer.

They have offered me a store credit and I have decided to accept. I would have preferred the money back but figured if I really like any of the samples, I can put the credit towards a full size bottle.

@Arewesureitisntbedtime I’ve just had another email from them saying I haven’t collected it so they assumed I didn’t want it and cancelled it. It’s not even been 24hrs 🤨

Yalz · 06/10/2025 16:02

@PissedOffNeighbour22 , that’s disappointing. It sounds as if @hugsandpugs is right.

Not sure if this has already been asked, but can anyone recommend any candles/ wax melts to use with this?
thanks x

This is still going strong 3 weeks later, it's a lovely fresh smell, not too overpowering, and I switch the lamp on for a few hrs each evening. It is Dunnes though so may not be of use to some.
You can raise or lower the lamp for different size candles, I also tried the Yankee Lime and Vanilla small jar and that worked well too.

I’ve just collected my eternity Superdrug order, huge thanks to the OP sharing the deal. Sorry to those who had their orders cancelled. I’m going real life shopping next week so I’ll keep an eye out for any bargains!

@PumpkinSpicedTea

I was reading Bunty from the age of 6 or so. It was aimed at primary school children who were good readers. Judy magazine skewed a tiny bit older - maybe up to 12. (I know that I loved Judy, but always felt Bunty was a bit babyish 😹😹😹). I very sadly knew it was time to give up reading Judy only when they started recycling the stories I had read years earlier and I remembered them!

For 12/13+ onwards, it was Jackie magazine.

I still have my Judy club badge!

@IlovePond ahh OK that's good to know actually thanks. Might look at different issues for when she was that age if I can. Like a Bunty, a Judy and a Jackie 😂 but need to work out the years.

Really helpful thanks!

Thank you so much for the recommendation.....unfortunately I didn't notice an auto correct in my post and am looking for a book NOOK craft kit 😂

However I actually really like the book craft kit you shared and think she will enjoy that too so I'm off to purchase it!

But if anyone can recommend a BOOK NOOK craft kit i'd also appreciate it please!

My daughter has this one and it’s beautiful. She has it in her bookshelf and it lights up inside. https://amzn.eu/d/1z0rMbA

I think a lot of people go for the Shark one - you can get new / refurbished ones on Ebay for £160 mark. I'm just waiting until Black Friday and then will decide if I'll get one or not,

The Shark is great as pp have mentioned. Interestingly, I have a shark and my sister has the Airwrap - we swapped to compare whilst on holiday together and both agreed mine gave better results on our long, thick hair. Our other sister tried and found she preferred Dyson for her shiny, fine hair.

That's interesting to know. I have thin hair which never seems to curl - I even struggled with perms holding a curl back in the 80's - not sure what miracle I think an air wrap type gadget will do! I can live in hope though.

I had an email to say mine was ready to collect just before 9am and had to go to my local village to pick up something so went to collect the same time. Perhaps if I hadn’t collected straight away it may have been cancelled

I suspect so! I ordered early yesterday to collect today, so must’ve been one of the first to order. Unfortunately I couldn’t get there until 5pm and Lo and behold… CANCELLED! Wish I’d just gone first thing now and been late for work ☹️
on a side note, they had plenty of both fragrances in stock (as I pointed out to the very rude manager who spoke to me as though I was attempting to defraud her!!)

This looks really good! Is there a quick guide to which perfume is “inspired” by which?!
