What can I buy from Argos for £4ish to win a bet?

[Shocksandboooos]

I have £4 worth of Argos vouchers that run out on Friday.
Dh tried to throw them in the bin this morning, saying that I wouldn’t be able to get anything worth having with them without adding a lot on.
I need to win this bet as I lost the last one and haven’t lived it down.

I thought I’d cracked it when I found a pair of slippers but you have to pay online for TU clothes and the vouchers can’t be used online.
We have a 2 year old so stocking filers are a possibility. Please hit me with your best suggestions so that I can wipe the smug look off dh’s face.

Crisis averted. My fabulous neighbour is going to pop over when dh has gone back to work and sort it out.
She really is an absolute belter! She’s well into her 70s and puts me to shame with how active she is.
She actually offered to hide in a bush and ‘cackle like a witch’ when dh gets home tonight but I’ve suggested that she stays where it’s warm and enjoys the show from her window.
She likes a g&t so I will have to treat her to some. These have ended up being some expensive vouchers!

This thread 😂😂 I especially love the questions on the Argos page.

I'm really jealous of all the raven owners. Australia is lacking in raven ornaments.

I am currently in the waiting room of Death (Argos collection point) waiting for Mortimer to be prepped for me.

I'm collecting something else too and the girl just called out anyone waiting for 'X Thing' and I had to call back "erm... yes that's probably mine but I'm also waiting for a Raven..."

The whole of Argos now hunk I'm barking. 

at your neighbour cackling like a witch, Shocks. She sounds amazing.

Right. Mortimer has arrived and I'm a bit besotted.

He is now at work and busy taking calls

Mort (for short) is selecting his new eyes but he can't quite decide from the selection available.

Any opinions?

Soup, I love that picture Do you have your own office or are your colleagues now looking at you a little strangely? haha.

Shocks, hooray for your neighbour! She sounds absolutely great

Next on my shopping list is a Christmas outfit for Mordecai. Although I had been thinking about taking up knitting again, so I could knit him a scarf and a hat!

I like the smaller eyes for Halloween, but the bigger ones make him look friendlier or like he may have had a cheeky pint or 3 at lunch so maybe the bigger ones for Christmas or New Years?

I like pic 2. A good size and makes Mort look as though he is slightly looking down on others in a superior fashion!

Shocks your neighbour sounds amazing.

@Storm4star I share my office with 6 people

thankfully they're already aware I'm mad so they just thought it was funny rather than calling in the men in white coats. I made one of my colleagues hold the phone in place

I have other colours of eyes for other seasonal occasions too but I felt red worked best for Halloween? (other options are yellow green and blue)

Op, I want to come and live near you and your fabulous neighbour! Best thread ever!!!

I voted for batteries and was skeptical about the crow. I went out to get cake the essentials and look who flew in to my basket! I'd like you all to meet Russell...

Caw! Trick or Treat

You're all bonkers and I bloody love it! Debating if I can get a namesake Raven delivered (broken ankle so pretty much housebound)

Ok, so someone on It Takes Two (or possibly even Zoe Ball) is a mumsnetter. Zoe basically has a raven sitting on her shoulder! Bravo.

I purchased two micro pumpkins to sit by Ronald on the mantle shelf. I was going to give him glittery stick on diamonte eyes, but googly all the way now!

I managed to resist for a few days but i have now reserved my raven so i need help with a name

So I may have seen these at Matalan and thought they could be good for keeping Ravens toes warm at Christmas time as they are only small....

So how did it go?

Omg I have been loving this thread and laughing the whole time. I am so tempted to buy a raven and call him Colin. Hmmm actually popping to Argos and Sainsbury's tomorrow shall have a look.

I’ve just told dd we’ll be nipping in past Argos tomorrow to collect our as yet un-named raven. I wonder how long it will take dh to notice him/her.

I'm collecting mine tomorrow. Not sure on a name, thinking Ronald if no one else has that. Might take him to the pub tomorrow night...

Oh I've just seen lonely's raven is Ronald.

Hummm. Maybe Jordan or Bridget?

So I started off on this thread a couple of days ago, sniggering quietly to myself at the chat but thinking you'd all lost the plot with the ravens.

I've just reserved mine 😂😂😂 #sheep

I am such a sheep. Edgar is now sitting on the porch windowsill peering out at callers!
