Birthday party presents

My 3 year old has been invited to his first birthday party for another child in his nursery. We've never been to one before nor hosted one and I'm unsure what the done thing is regarding presents? My kid is pretty speech delayed so unable to tell me anything about what this other child might like. Can I just put some money in a card? How much is socially acceptable?

Buggy recommendation

My 13 month old will probably be out growing her infant carrier soon which is part of a travel system. (venicci) Once she does I'll be looking for a more compact buggy.

​

With my first I used a chicco echo buggy but its impossible to steer one handed. I still have a 3, almost 4 year old who holds my hand the whole nursery walk and back and basically whenever we're out, so I need a buggy that I can still push and steer one handed. But also as small as possible. The venicci one is quite big and we've made do through the baby time but really need something smaller now as we're only in a small flat and also just have a regular car (seat Leon) where the boot isn't especially big.

​

Any recommendations please? Don't specifically have a budget, don't want to spend a fortune but I'm also more than happy buying second hand so might be able to find a good deal on one if I'm lucky.

Delivered to wrong country 🙃

My usual months worth of cat food that I order on amazon with subscribe & save got delivered an hour ago to the wrong country!?

How does that even happen??

I live in Central scotland and it's been delivered somewhere in Devon. (I'm assuming. Photo of proof of delivery from Exeter rural delivery office).

Royal mail have no way of reporting this in their app. Amazon customer service is currently down. Just, what?

Tooth disintegrated inside crown

33f non smoker

I had a crown fitted roughly a year and a half ago. Today it came loose and my dentist booked me in for an appt 9.30am Monday. It's now come out and I can see my tooth has fully disintegrated inside the crown. (pic in comments if it will let me to show shaved tooth before crown and now).

It's been previously root treated and theres no pain but I do now have a hole in my gum. Basically I just want to know if it's OK to wait until my Monday appt with my dentist or if I need to get an out of hours appt over the weekend? Not sure if there's any infection risk etc? Thanks

I had a tower pro pet cordless from argos but the brush isn't spinning anymore despite taking it apart and cleaning etc. I'm looking at a new cordless.

I have a corded shark for doing bigger deep cleans but I have a 3 year old and just turned 1 year old so I regularly go round with the cordless multiple times a day just to pick up food crumbs etc.

Small 2 bed flat, all carpet apart from kitchen and bathroom. I'm looking at shark stratos or powerpro which are both available in curry's where I need to buy to use my flex pay account. I like that they both seem to have decent suction, anti hair wrap (I have very long hair and 3 indoor cats) and detect when switching between carpet/hard floor as I did feel the tower one was useless at getting crumbs off the kitchen floor.

I'm open to other brands. I do like my corded shark but I know lots of people have a thing against shark! Max budget of £300 but ideally a bit less.
