Hope you're all well. I've just put in a big Temu order for stocking bits and bits for work. They gave me £8 off my next order yesterday as two orders I had are arriving late and, when I contacted customer services about something, they also gave me a 20% off voucher, so I saved £20 on my order!

My dd showed me a video where someone was creating a Demon hunter comic book. You can buy blank comic books on Amazon ( although they were more expensive than when I first started buying them) and print pictures off, use stickers to make up the story. You could print some coloured images and black and white ones for her to draw herself.

H&M have 15% off for members today only. Not a mega saving but helpful if you’ve been waiting to buy something

I’ve been using dock and bay hair towels for years, have tried many others but always go back to Dock and Bay, they are definitely the best and well worth paying a bit extra for. Great for taking on holiday or swimming too.

my first thoughts are a gaming station, desk, gaming chair, headset with microphone, led lights, a holder for his crontroller and headset. You can get some cool themed holders. You can also get skins including personalised ones for the console and controllers.

I agree, I also have long hair, I usually towel dry most of the water with a standard towel then wrap my hair with a cheap wrap I picked up in a matalan clearance sale. I will admit I absolutely love my wraps now, I’ve never need able to keep a towel in my head for more than a few moments, now I can wrap my hair pre or post brushing and it’s secure while I dry off, moisturise, do make up etc without my hair being in the way.

It’s an animated movie that was released recently, it’s been a huge hit with kids and adults alike, you probably don’t realise it but you will be hearing the music from it everywhere.

@Ladybaga You could use ChatGPT to create colouring pages, just upload photos of the characters or scenes you want. I did it recently as an engagement present for a friend! Using photos of her & her fiancé, not kpop demon hunters 🤣

I think it varies per store. I was in London 10 days ago and there are 2 stores on Oxford street. One had 70% off everything and the other 25%

I have been asked for a long spouted indoor watering can!! The recipient isn't a keen gardening so wouldn't appreciate an expensive branded one (I'm assuming such things exist) but in the other hand I'd like a well made one that doesn't leak. Any pointers much appreciated...

Ive just picked up taco cat goat cheese pizza game from Asda £1.10
They had loads in on a clearance shelf.

I've missed the info on the glasses cloth please could someone re-post it? Thanks!

Plastic ones are the best for indoor. Some nice colours and even a glass one! Loving the stainless steel too.

These people Here there was a code on the cloths too not sure if that’s still working, but free postage regardless. One PP had an issue with darker images , but I just had my second order delivered and they were fine too luckily .

Oh thanks for Asda tip. Will stop on way home. Hopefully they will have some left!
