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!

I think they are smaller than standard size ones, I just went onto Lancôme make up and sorted by price low to high and they came up that way 😊

This will be the showstopper christmas beauty box. It usually comes out early November (think it was about 10th last year)

I follow a lot of the beauty threads so am sure to get a heads up there. I've saved your name and will tag you on here as soon as I hear anything.

Thanks, but they've got no wings :(

It was the 13th last year and £88. Fantastic value.

I have the original air wrap and I love it. I have long thick wavy hair that hairdressers love and lots of it, it's impossible to do anything quickly with but five minutes wit he my air wrap and I'm done. Best hair investment ever.

Either watch the official Dyson ebay outlet for a refurb ( I got mine there) or keep an eye on boots for offers.

Can you tag me too please @RainbowZebraWarrior 😊

Twister for £11.98

Jaques has Black Friday deals up plus an extra 30% off with secret30 code (wooden toys)

Will do keepincool ☺️

@hugsandpugs for handmade women’s clothing, take a look at Mardy Bum Boutique. They make knickers / pants in all kinds of weird and wonderful fabrics, different shapes, etc. They’re on FB

@RainbowZebraWarrior me too please! Teens love Charlotte Tilbury

@Blessedbethefruitz My kids had this castle, I loved it more than them (I adored Ben & Holly). I could have sworn we still had Nanny Plum somewhere but I can't find here. I found these though, which I'd be happy to send you! They don't have wings though (presumably must originally have but long ago lost and tbh I can't even remember them!).

Thank you! I’m not on Facebook but I’ll see if they have any other platforms 😊

Just a reminder for anyone with a Sainsbury's delivery pass, you can now book your Christmas delivery slots. The email says one slot between 20th and 24th but it's letting me book more (it did last year too and both arrived). I'm sticking with one though as I kept worrying my later slot would get cancelled for being against the rules, not worth the stress! 😂

I've just had an email from Ulster Weavers with a one-off 30% code for bedding, curtains and bathroom stuff if anyone wants it (not sure if we are allowed to post here). It expires tomorrow (thur 17th) and sadly doesn't seem to apply to tea towels / tablecloths otherwise I'd use it myself

May be of use to anyone wanting to get Christmas bedding or something!

Anyone buying for Squishmallows fans this micromallows ferris wheel comes with 20 + squishies instead of the standard 4 in the set for the same price.

That's really kind of you but I already have Ben elf, and the wings are very important to my daughter! Thank you though!

@Blessedbethefruitz No worries! I hope you find them - I'm invested now too! - sadly I think the wings are pretty fragile, so second hand ones probably have mostly lost them. I'll keep an eye out just in case I find any other intact ones at home (though presumably, having wings, they'd have flown away... 😉)

Has anyone without an Ocado pass managed to book a Christmas slot yet? I can't see any concrete info about when it should be open.

Having ordered a new-to-him Frog bike for my eldest, I'm wondering whether his cheapo Lidl Spiderman helmet is going to cut the mustard while he learns to pedal. Does anyone know if they're all much of a muchness for preschool age, or if I should be investing in something a bit more substantial?

Lots of drunk elephant on tkmaxx at the moment

also spode Xmas table wear and a lot of cath kidston crockery

also a penhaligons 100ml legacy of Petra £109.99

I “won” 25% off a Merlin pass (and you seem to be able to add more than one pass to the purchase at the discount price).

I’m not going to be able to use it so if anyone wants to DM me, I’m happy to send you the code.

I've added you to my list @nothingtoseehereatall ☺️

Can anyone help me with the most cost effective way to buy two lego advent calendars? DD and DS will absolutely both want one, and no way will they share! Ideally I'd like one of the lego city ones (doesn't have to be this year's) and a minecraft one, which at full price means about £50. Or two different lego city ones, eg this year and last year.

I can do a new sign up with top cash back which gets me £15 sign up bonus, plus up to 5% cashback at lego. Altogether that would knock off £17.50, which isn't terrible. But can anyone do better?

Thanks so much to whoever recommended the Harts of Stur clearance section, via topcashback of course - I ordered myself some beautiful Cath Kidston hand-painted glasses for DH to give me for Christmas - they are £12 for a pair and other sites really are charging the full £25 price they are claiming to be reduced from. They have just arrived and I love them so much I feel a little bit sick 😂https://www.hartsofstur.com/cath-kidston-dolly-rose-set-of-2-hiball-glasses-ckx24hiblgls2.html?sv_campaign_id=863943&source=aw&awc=32187_1760608267_82d3c6ce0afbd6a663e8a6a597f6ef89&sv1=affiliate
The design is rosehips but they look quite festive /holly-ish if you squint.

For anyone who’s kids are k pop demon hunters fans, these T-shirts are down from £19.99 to £7 til midnight tonight. Come in various colours.

I ordered 3 for DD which would have been £21 without p&p but I also had a £10 off code so got three for £11 ❤️
