Will request this is deleted if someone more official beats me to it or if Reastie returns!

The only set I could find was £33 and that was on subscription. What am I missing?

If anybody's child likes the Elephant and Piggie books, there is a 10 book set on Amazon reduced from £80 to £17.40 at the moment: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/9123978376?psc=1&ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_ct_PE5Z84ZT6S8N3NGVEQT8_1

Also Dinkum Dolls have a sale on, up to 60% off selected items. https://uk.dinkumdolls.com/collections/dinkum-dolls

Thanks I'll check them out ☺️

🎄 i’ve just ordered my DBro a Degustabox advent calendar via Groupon - Using the offer code HALLOWEEN

Going via top cashback on my laptop it has come up at £27.99
When I’ve looked on my phone to get a link - it’s £31.50

so basically, my tip is play around with how you are getting to Groupon - I would try via top cashback and see how much that will get you off

edited to take out unnecessary !!! 😜

@MamaClausToTheRescue sorry I won’t be using your referral code.
I wanted to make multiple orders and it won’t let me, and I don’t want to sign up for a subscription.
Would have been great though for my grandsons.

I’m interested in getting one of these this year but something tells me there was an issue about delivery to Northern Ireland or some issue about the offer applying to Northern Ireland last year - does this ring any (jingle) bells?
please let me know if you’ve gotten one at a reduced price in NI

I went for these too and they’re great fun!
In case you don’t know there are free online puzzles murdoku.
Also murdle books and the two daily puzzles they publish have been great fun.
They are worth looking up
Has anyone come across similar puzzle books/online things. Sometimes the escape room boxes and games are too long or difficult- these are great

Me again - for Oliver Bonas wasn’t there a way of getting a credit put on to your account if you signed up - I remember getting this last year and I’ve never used it. I’ll have a peep to see if it’s still there and report back 😉

30% off at just my look https://www.justmylook.com/collections/wet-brush-view-all

anyone know any places to shop that take blue light card. That actually have a decent discount?

My Ulster weavers order arrived today, decided to order after positive reviews here and glad I did, all was well packaged and amazing value so thanks to everyone.

To whoever was looking for Disney stuff just saw some mickey shaped sunglasses in primark they looked fab!

@YourUmberZebra I have ordered from Footballsbest4u site a couple of times a few years apart. My DS didn't realise they were dupes although too young to care initially. The shirts are true to size and wash really well. DS is still wearing his shirt from 2 years ago (as I get his name and age on the shirt for his December birthday). I seem to remember they take aaaaagges to arrive (like 4 weeks) so my advice would be to order in plenty of time.

Ooh thank you x

I think this was Anthropologie. I had a credit last year and never ended up using it because it was still sooooo expensive!

Blue Light card 15% is the best I’ve seen for OB. Sales are good and frequent too.

I signed up last night but no code yet. Anyone else had luck?

Thank you :)

I hope @Reastie and @RainbowZebraWarrior are both ok. We miss you guys on the thread!

🎄This is an awesome present and 1/3 off at the moment - https://amzn.eu/d/08NdXwIh

On a hunt for Legami advent calendar bargains and all other Legami deep bargains in case any are spotted.

Depends on how you feel about Temu but the official brand “Suck UK” store on Temu is selling

Space Facts tape measure for £2.78 (£7.99 on Amazon)
Fun Facts tape measure for £7.21 (£10.99 on Amazon)

plus £2 postage or free if you spend over £35 in the Suck UK store. UK stock and posted from the U.K.

I bought a few for stocking fillers.

ETA I’ve noticed more and more brand stores on Temu these days.

Go this through the post today from the Body Shop. There is free p&p at the moment. I ordered a £1 gift bag to claim the freebie but you might be able to just get away with claiming the freebie.

not great bargains @Londonbabyland but 3 notebooks and a lion at TK Maxx

Thank you for that. Worked a treat. £3 delivered for a lip balm from the outlet (reduced from £8) and the full size hand balm, which is the one I usually buy anyway 😊
