I'll keep my fingers crossed its dry.

Btw I dropped a huuuuuuge hint to DH about the baileys - do you think I shoud just tell him to go get me a bottle or do you think he might have one stashed?

Hoping to send DH out for Bailey's tomorrow. It would be fab for the hampers I'm doing (and for me).

If he's anything like my DH he will be impervious to hints HmmGrin
I just asked DH if we could go via Sainsbo's tomorrow to see about the Baileys, we are already taking a detour to get two missed parcels, he wasn't impressed!
Have placed an order with Amazon, tried to cancel it had a confirmation email, and the changed the delivery option. Do you think it will still cancel?

Sainsbury's price match is only against Tesco and Asda unfortunately.

Re Flavourly - I've been waiting a while for my box so I emailed them. Their reply was v friendly, but basically said they only have 2 staff and were entirely overwhelmed (groupon code alone generated 8,000 orders) they have now got extra staff but they were struggling. I'd guess the system errors are to do with that, I'd check again in a few days before panicking!

Of course, if my box doesn't turn up soon I know I'll be stressed again anyway :)

Yes they do. You need to purchase t least 8 items though and if it's not 10 pent cheaper then you get a vpucher.

I think I'll just say to go to morrisons first of all though. I'm going to tell him, he is usually good at hints but he's a bit distracted just now.

Hmmm, looks like Asda matches with Morrisons but its system is a bit complicated. No problem notso I would have been straight down to Sainsburys too :)

Might see if I can nip to Morries tomorrow morning while DH drops the little DC off at PILs. I saw three or four staff members buying regular Baileys earlier so they must have some somewhere!

I'm off to Morrisons in the morning for a bottle or two of Baileys.

I tried my free sample of chocolate Baileys tonight and its bloody horrible, made me feel sick. Yuck!

Amazon have got the film Elf on for £3.96 (!). Not sure how bargainous that is but it's a great film!

NeverQuiteSure I've actually got all 3 recommendations. I'd say the star one is nice, and DD enjoys putting the star in it's place on each page, but it is just the story of the wise men.

The little board book tells the story simply.

The advent calendar one would probably be nice for your older DC. It seems simple language and is the whole story split into 24 bits, in number order.

Re. The supercar experience, things to check are:
Do you actually get to drive it - some of the experiences are only as a passenger
How long it is valid for
Can you use it at weekends
How long is the experience

I've never bought one because whenever I have considered it its never turned out to be what I'm after due to one of the above.

Oreo and Frazzled, for the Toysrus 15% cash back do you need to be Premium Quidco members to get that? I've just registered (thank you for encouraging me to get round to this!) can only get 3% somehow. Otherwise it would be a fab tip!

I've had an email from H&M that they are packing my order. Nearly fainted as they normally take ages. I didn't order any Xmas stuff though...
