Last Tuesday bigjig did a release, then jukupop.com did one too, but i was too slow. I've checked multiple times a day. Make sure you are registered with bigjig in advance as I missed them last week as my account wasn't approved.

But keep checking today, they had them at 9.30 last week.

I saw that you needed to be registered last week so have done that. I will keep checking, thanks.

@Famousthehero thank you so much for all the info and advice re hair. I take biotin and recently started iron tablets so fingers crossed. I'm having a look at the couple of things you mentioned too. I really appreciate your post

You could also try Florisene - have to buy online and not super cheap - but it’s a great vitamin specifically for hair. Good luck

10BOOTS will take £10 off a £25 spend at Boots when you order for delivery via Just Eat - in case this helps anyone!

I'm sure that you can order will be limited but worth a go if anyone needs some basics.

Pleased to get two of the Estèe Lauder set and refresh spray in £10 Tuesday. I got two in the same deal last year and only just running out.

If anyone is desperate for the boots skincare collection I have 2 coming after the website glitched (unfortunately have also paid twice 😂)

Happy to forward on to anyone or I'll return it. I did pay £29 as I couldn't get the other code to work

Do you know what I need to stop doing? Buying jelly cats that are NOT bargainous. Bought a peanut, pickled and penguin. Also picked up the mint yummy bunny that came in today, possibly for myself 🤣

I just managed to buy two candy swirl needoh from bigjigs. I made sure I was signed in, searched via brands and it was the first one that came up. Not a bargain- didn’t even hang around to try and get free delivery- just checked out asap!

Hi all, I've had some good lego bargains via Very with an extra 20% off with OFFER20. I dont know if it's account specific though

Would anyone have an argos discount code to spare? I need a new cooker which is not hugely festive though the turkey is going to be struggle without it! Thanks

They had them in Home Bargains yesterday too, around £3-3.50 if I recall. Coffee and Strawberry versions.

@sillygoof I first bought my makeup obsessed dd a W7 advent calendar when she was about 6yo, she never liked toys, since then it’s been a go to choice here. My 14yo who has expensive premium brands opted for the W7 advent again this year. My 12yo ( the OG makeup one) has opted for Revolution, mainly so they don’t get the same and can swap things.

Ive got my youngest 9yo a Profusseion set for Christmas, mainly because of the nice box it comes in. We’ve never used the products before. She’s not fussed with makeup, she will maybe try some usually when her friends come over, but will like it on display to show off to her friends, and will more than likely sell the contents to her sisters while keeping the box.

Other brands are The Beauty Crop, my 12yo loves the mascara.

Skincare definitely Byoma and Bubble at this age. Although my older 2 love Nivea, simple and Liz Earl too especially now they have past the must have the trending product phase.

None of mine liked P Louise.

Thank you 😘 I’m useless at make up!

Have I missed an amazing bargain? I’m in a queue for the Boots website and have no idea why!?

This is what I’m seeing in the website and the app isn’t working either!
