All my Amazon haul stuff is just coming from Amazon directly so although slightly slower shipping it’s all going to be here is a few days. Crazy when I was so much cheaper with the 30% off and then the extra 10%

there's a clicky link on the £20

It's at Beauty Base

I also got this, thanks to the PP on the other thread who linked it, I am very impressed by it, slightly obsessed by it actually! Fab for running every day and gets all the dust and (dog) hair, the mopping is better than I expected. Best £99 I have spent for a long time!

for anyone else wanting a robovac the Q10 is still available in black for £105.99

fyi, use clicky link over the price

DH has just taken in the 13th order of the week. WFH is not helpful!

Some lovely stocking fillers in Oliver bonas sale.

Okay so on the robot vacs I wasn’t sure whether to share this as I’m not sure how legit it is 🤣 but a site I use for rewards linked this robot hoover and mop for £14.99! I bought one and have the email confirmation. It’s coming from China and I’m not sure how good it will be but thought I’d take a risk at that price! Robot vac

@LoveHearts69 - I would be careful with ordering from that site as the Trustpilot reviews suggest it is a scam site. I hope it isn’t, but the reviews are awful.

I went to Costco this morning and the 850g Cadburys Dairy Milk was cheaper than the Amazon Prime Day price. Still not £5 though.

@YoureDevastatedRightNow @SkinnyOatFlatWhiteForMePleaseBarista yeah DH has jokingly (not joking) banned me from Amazon and Mumsnet.

Though *half the issue is I show him what I intend to buy and then he WFH so accepts the parcels and somehow it seems like twice as much.

*This is definitely considerably less than half the issue....the issue is the sheer volume of stuff and that he's the first line or defence so am not squirreling it away 😅

Ahh okay thank you, I thought it was too good to be true! Annoyingly an app I use linked to it so if it turns out to be then I’ll make them aware!

My existing robot hoover is on the blink so I was hopeful this would replace him 🤣

Speaking of Costco… as a relative Costco newbie-arse, are there any annual Christmas delights to be had there, apart from the bonkers garden decorations?

Has anybody posted about choc oranges….95p with a Tesco clubcard until Sunday I believe. I picked up some for stocking fillers today.

They've started with the Christmas biscuits, chocolate and alcoholic gifts. There was a Burts bees lip balm gift box that looked good which was 8 tubes for £16, and a lovely Belgian chocolate advent calendar. No sign of the human sized Lindt one though, or the Bonne Maman jam one. Also gift wrap was out and other decorations.

Does anyone know if this is all varieties or just the milk? I am only after dark or toffee and at the full price I will be going without

500 piece kids jigsaw in Morrisons for £2.50. No
pics, sorry, forgot.

Just the regular ones. They have some at £1.80 but no dark or toffee in my local store just popping and white chocolate.

OMG been in hospital and missed almost three full threads!!!

Anyway, just spotted this - only in black and size XL at this price, but could be useful for someone

Aww hope you're ok now?

Thanks. I feel like it'll be one of those cancelled instead of delivered orders but for £3 I've taken a punt

There is a lovely candle advent calendar in B&M for £4.99.
Different fragrance for each day up to christmas.
It's selling out fast though!
Sorry can't add photo as image is too big.

Thanks for this and hope you’re feeling better x

In a similar vein I’ve just found this lounge set in medium for the princely sum of £2.01. I doubt it will ever turn up but I’m giving it a go

amzn.eu/d/0ecsJl2g

If you press on the offer on this item (but 4 save 50% on 1) there’s a few other items that are £2-3 https://www.amazon.co.uk/promotion/psp/A1X023CT3GM89L?

such as this tracksuit https://amzn.eu/d/08CsTsEA

Lots of Stanley’s in my local average size TK Maxx today in the cup section for £29.99. Not online though annoyingly.

I've bought 4 of the £2 tracksuits for a local charity - they always need track pants so if these arrive they'll be useful. I got the 50% off one discount too so the whole lot was £7

I saw this for £10 in The Works yesterday. I absolutely loved the paper dress up dollies as a child and for a moment was seriously tempted to buy it for myself. I resisted, but I might cave!

Can anyone with tween or younger teen girls advise me please, which Uggs are the ones to have? Assuming they are still popular. Is it the mini's? Or are the trainers in too? What about leopard print and patterned styles? Seen some with the sun stitch pattern but not sure...
