Loving that you get to be an arse to be a cosco member....maybe a contender for next thread title!

Thanks for the Moonpig tip!

I picked up these - looks to be a good price on the playmobil.

If anyone knows someone who is trying to use less chemicals in their home, Nancy Birtwhistles Clean Magic hardback book is half price on Amazon and I think would make a great gift.

Even though Moonpig’s standard terms state that perishable goods are excluded from "change of mind" returns, a short-dated item that prevents reasonable enjoyment falls under faulty or "not as described" goods. Under UK consumer law (the Consumer Rights Act), goods must be of satisfactory quality and fit for purpose. Receiving a product that expires in two weeks when it's meant to be a gift violates this.

Separately, I recently had two cards that didn’t arrive by the date of the birthday and they refunded the whole amount just through the AI agent so I’m pretty confident it will be fine.

Saw the kids Galt sparkle bracelet kit on Amazon reduced earlier

I always fimd lots of giftbags in charity shops, and reuse them if they're tidy. Also in the christmas sales, stock up on plain looking ones that would do for either.

Oh good grief - can no longer edit 😳Please do not arse a member, that will get you banned from Costco 😂

If yours arrive with short date email them.

I did then what i gifted some chocolates that expired within a month.

They replaced them and gave me account credit. Always worth a try

Try M&M direct for the boxers, or Costco

Good quality boxers lazy panda sock shop

Has anyone seen any good indoor Christmas light projectors? I want to light up my hallway without putting actual lights everywhere.

Just a quick message to say the Plouise offer with the mystery bag still works. Just been to see mum and done it for her on her phone 😊

Just bought a little live pets Duck in b&m for £23.99. So cute. Although they also have them in Argos for £18 and entertainer for £21 those aren’t near me and they don’t have in stock to be delivered. My ds is obsessed with getting a duck after watching ducksinspace on instagram!!

@Toomuchcoffeethismorning

Here you go! Sorry my kid is sick so forgot to come back to correct the quote 😂

Can someone please link to the flowery glue gun that you were buying to go with the flower bouquet book please?

Thank you 🙏🏼 so much, this is really really helpful. Delivery due tomorrow so we’ll see.

Thank you so much for the advice so far.
Ive been suggested for my brother by his partner a cheese making kit or I think there was one about bacon on these threads last year???
Honestly confused where to start there so any advice greatly appreciated.

Hopefully this works (trying someone’s suggestion of removing everything after the ? So we’ll see!)

@InbetweenDreams Thank you, does it have the two pin plug as shown, it looks like it is more of a USA model?

@superstar63 I asked the same thing. Mine came with a UK plug

@HoneyPea Thank you, are you happy with it as it hasnt got many good reviews?

If anyone sees any good deals on the adult Lego sets please let me know- going to try one with hard to buy for FIL as he loves doing my DD’s sets! Looking to spend £30-50 max

Asda George has K-Pop theme pyjamas with Zoey and Rumi on for £6 each. Though the Mira ones are still showing full price at £12.
