Warning from Ialreadytoldyou - Loom bands and loom band charms from Asia have been tested and have been carrying a dangerous level of carcinogenics. It's quite worrying tbh, the report says it can get into the body through the skin when worn, especially if the wearer is sweating and also if anything is put in the mouth.

Hello Reastie, how bad is it that I've basically finished for the kids and now thinking about Easter??

3pigsinblanketsandasausagerole · 28/09/2014 14:34

wibblyjelly · 28/09/2014 14:43

I was in Costco earlier, and they had Monster High dolls for under £12 each. Not sure if it's a good price or not, but thought I would share!

Olaf here: www.character.com/disney-frozen-olaf-t-shirt.html?options=cart

Not really bargainous but worth looking through the clearance section it might be worth it with other things. I bulk buy pjs and backpacks around the £3 mark to use for party gifts.

SpottyTeacakes · 28/09/2014 14:56

Thanks Reastie. Tbh I haven't got much yet. I'm really reigning in the presents with the dc and the rest of my family can have an I 'heart' New York t shirt Grin

No idea what to get my grandparents as ever. There's only so many smellies and biscuits you can give them...

glenthebattleostrich · 28/09/2014 15:00

Costco also had the playmobil Noah's ark for £30 and cabbage patch dolls for about £20

Clarinet9 · 28/09/2014 15:00

andHarry sorry

so can I ask where are your auditors from are they in house to the factory or the company?
who is responsible for their training and auditing (for want of a better word) their work?

I am really unsure what to do now I want to buy a Frozen Plush but want it to be safe........

RJnomore · 28/09/2014 15:01

Checking in between steaming

Cheers reastie!

Clarinet9 · 28/09/2014 15:03

I want a minecraft plush too!

Clarinet9 · 28/09/2014 15:05

I have wanted steamer for a while too (not for Christmas though Grin

izzybizzybuzzybees · 28/09/2014 15:07

Catching up :)

Clarinet9 · 28/09/2014 15:09

so I was looking at initial hankies in John Lewis and happened to notice that they are doing free delivery to Oz and NZ if you spend over 100 quid!
eek

KnackeredMuchly · 28/09/2014 15:17

Jumping on!

marne2 · 28/09/2014 15:18

Marking my place Smile

I got a £10 off a £75 on electronics and consoles at tesco ( voucher ) when I did some shopping this morning, am now tempted to get dd1 the hudl but still can't decide on the hudl or kindle Hmm.

KnackeredMuchly · 28/09/2014 15:19

Marne, unless he uses it primarily for rwleadibg, get a Hudl - you can access the Android app store, rather than the Amazon one which is more limited.

GirlWithTheYellowHat · 28/09/2014 15:32

Checking in. Just spent £140 in the Disney store and queued for an hour just to pay for it. God damn frozen!!

I think I'll chance an aliexpress dress but not gonna risk toys as I've said.
