Thread 3 - the one where things get serious

[Reastie]

All my plans at getting organised in the last thread left me as I realised the thread with referrals was already up and running, so the one I set up I'll link to once the current one runs out!

This is quite a specific one to NI (and not really a bargain!!) but if anyone's tweens are torturing them for Needoh's like mine are, I was in Smyths Toys yesterday and they've got stock of the advent calendar in - Not available for delivery and looks to be good stock in a few stores in Northern Ireland (but not in the rest of the UK - sorry). They're limiting to two per household.

Hot Wheels 1:64 Scale 5-Pack Formula 1 Die-Cast Toy Cars £6

STAY ACTIVE KICKERBALL £5

Vtech Baby Nursery Rhymes Book , English £5

My baby born clothes have arrived. Just trying to decide if they are a stocking present or an under tree gift!

I hope this is OK to say, given that they are none refundable, if anyone gets the Starfish blue and silver twist hoops and doesn't like them I would be interested.

Thanks to the PLouise posters - DD loves their haircare so ordered a set for her, and all the freebies are a great bonus. Had some loyalty points so worked out at £13.55 delivered!

The mint ones? Or were there also blue ones?

I ordered some to try but I am pretty fussy about jewellery! So if they ever show up and they're no good I'll let you know

I feel like this has been the bargain of the thread!

@Reastie next thread title...the one with bad bitch energy! 😂

Might be of use to someone

6FMQ3JJR4QTT
argos code £5off £30 spend to by used by midnight on the 6th

Blue ones but thanks!
There were also mint and gold but my intended recipient only wears silver.

Thank you so much, I’ve just used this to buy a Lego advent calendar.

I just can't get the plouise to work, I've tried it on 2 phones and a laptop.

This also stacks with an offer on Amazon where you save £10 when spending £69. There's a lot in there (loads of Lego and Duplo). But also manged to get a Sylvanian families cottage in the offer that I'd my eye on for niece, that was also 50% off.

Ahh no, mine are still showing as not yet dispatched. I don't hold out much hope though, has anyone's been dispatched yet?

the PLouise micellar water has arrived and it’s great! Thanks so much to the poster who shared this deal, DD will be thrilled!

it’s arrived in a lovely box as well, I’ve just ordered a mystery lip duo and another micellar water which came to £11 with postage

Mine’s arrived too, in a gorgeous box - I don’t want to open it to find out what it looks like inside, I don’t even know if there is one or two micellar waters in there!

How did you get all of the freebies please!

Just the one for me but very pleased. Box is about 8 inches long. Many thanks to the original poster!

I am not sure if this has already been posted as I am struggling to keep up with allllll these fab bargains!! The Essence Vault is on buy one get one free at the moment. I ordered during the last sale and was so happy with my fragrances! I've just ordered 4 more... 😁https://www.theessencevault.co.uk/

After the vile morning I have just had at work, I am absolutely FULL of bad bitch energy😹

Hoping my PLouise and Starfish orders arrive soon - I could do with cheering up !

Do you need the actual velvetiser to use the cream? Or could it be added to normal hot chocolates?

Here's hoping!!! 🫶🏼 Hope your day improves

Its an alcoholic drink, like baileys, no velvetiser needed but I'm sure you could add it if you wanted to

Thanks @lemoncurdcupcake

Meanwhile, I am looking for a credit card sized real leather wallet for DH. It needs to be flap only, with space for notes at a pinch but no coin storage. If it’s not perfect - i.e. tiny, thin and leather he won’t use it.

They are surprisingly hard to find, so if anyone spots something similar I would be grateful for a heads up on here.

I don’t want to spend silly money as DH ruins or loses everything he’s given - probably up to £30 max - preferably much less!

Thanks

@IlovePondAspinal of London have some slim credit card holders in their outlet section
