@snoopinginstlye just to add I think I'm going to get the vet set from gltc for my 4 year old. Then a white coat from vinted and pick up a soft toy that fits into the vet carrier.
You could do something similar with a doctor's kit?

I’ve used them a few times without problems, items came quickly. From what I can remember I bought a set of stepladders and a box of filters for my water jug (at different times), but I think I’ve bought a couple of other times too.

Someone had posted about bubble bath (or similar) with traitors robes on them. I think maybe in B&M? Has anyone seen them or have I missed the boat?

@snoopinginstlye my 4 year old has this Melissa & Doug Drs dress up set which is reasonably priced. He loves it. And I quite like lying down playing the patient 😆

@Moonlightfrog according to camelcamelcamel, the lowest the red bull has ever been is £134 so i’d be surprised if it goes much lower. Amazing are good at price matching I find

I’ve just seen the Taskmaster advent calendar is back in stock if anybody else was waiting!

was it this shower gel? @weareallqueens low stock at B&M

Has anyone seen any deals (or has recommendations) on bird feeder camera things? I think it will be a good gift for my hard to buy for DBiL ('cos he is v. wealthy and can afford everything he wants). Should I wait until Black Friday? He is very good to me so I dont mind spending a bit on it.

Edited for typos.

@CactusRabbit I used OnBuy last year to order an Owala water bottle. When it arrived, it was clear it was fake.
I had a nightmare getting a refund. They kept offering a 20/30/50% refund and saying I could keep it. I had to mail multiple times, very sternly to eventually get a full refund. I could have been unlucky, but I'd avoid at all costs.

Highly unlikely to go much lower, £130 is genuinely a good price for that size of set.

I have a Birdfy one and I love it. It’s not super cheap but they did a good deal around Black Friday/holidays last year and I went for it.

they also do a bird bath which is really cute but I’ve not jumped in on that one (yet)

My local Iceland had traitors chocolate coins in nets for 10p today. They were with the Halloween decorations (also down to 10p- I bought light up pumpkin lanterns, slapband watches, pumpkin fairy lights and pumpkin glasses for next year.)

Thank you, I'll keep a lookout for a BF bargain.

Thanks for the new thread @RainbowZebraWarrior. I’ve just realised it’s November….have I missed the Nigel CC kick- off? Ive been looking forward to it all year!

ETA Massive thanks to the pp who shared the body shop hand cream tipoff. I paid postage but am delighted by getting a full size tube for 3.95!

And sending love to @reastie 💐💜

Is a good "proper" coffee machine that grinds beans possible for £150 please? Any recommendations? I know nothing about coffee

(Failing that a good dash cam?)

Does anyone know if Highland Soap Co normally participate in Black Friday?

@babynumberthreeeewhere did you see the 30% off Nespresso? I can only find 20% with code BF20 but would love 30%!

Thank you @jocktamsonsbairn . I'll definitely give it a try next time.

@snoopinginstlye the best dr set imho is the fisher price vintage set in a wee suitcase. My kids and grandkids love it and the stethoscope really works!! Check out Vinted.

John Lewis are selling Needoh stress balls

Saying email when in stock 🤦🏽‍♀️@

Totally selfish bump as I am also interested

I picked one up from B&M today, my local store had a few in still. Plus colour change bath bombs to "end game" or "banish again"

Just to second the Fisher Price Doctor’s Kit. I bought ours for our children and now the grandchildren are using it!
