My book people order dispatched today. Although for some reason the Woman In Black book arrived in the post today so it must've been sent separately?! Can't wait to get the rest!

Whats the catch on Bangzo site?
Is the p&p ridiculous? Grin

laurenamium · 08/10/2012 18:53

mocha I bought the Angelina ballerina books and I think postage was about £4 but if you get a few of the really good deals then you can get a lot of cheap or free books for the £4 delivery!

milkymocha · 08/10/2012 19:02

Fantastic, thank you Lauren! Going to have a nose now... Love this thread!

Punkyfish have a 48hr sale on all shoes, bags and clothes in their outlet bit on site. All £5 each! Great for gifts if you have teenagerish girls to buy for (although I have loads of punkyfish and I'm 31 Grin )

I went to an ELC shop today and they were reducing everything and stickering reduced prices on items ready for some sort of promotion tomorrow. I was able to get a Happyland playset half price for £20 and two Julia Donaldson/Alex Sheffler (Gruffalo author) books half price today (even though promotion starts tomorrow) so you may want to check it out tomorrow. Not sure whether it's just stores, or online too?

fuzzpig · 08/10/2012 19:33

Ooh that's interesting I wonder what the new promotion is? I got a few more bits today as they were two for £10 then 20% off... :)

JoJoH1 · 08/10/2012 19:47

sorry can someone remind me what the book people and dot com gift shop codes were - thanks!!

MooseyMoo · 08/10/2012 19:49

Who was looking for Leap Pad 2? Found price for £65 on MSE from Tesco Direct

Tesco Direct £71.99 and add something to make it up to £75 and then use the £10 off code when you spend £75

Code is: TD-MXTN

Note: this is for a Pink LeapPad 2

MooseyMoo · 08/10/2012 20:12

VTech Toot Toot Drivers Everyday Vehicles (Pack of 3), Reduced To £4.97 on amazon (with free delivery).

Click on link with text saying 6 new from £4.97

flubba · 08/10/2012 20:26

Thanks Excellent link notshort - website is very slow but I've now sorted my niece's pressies all for £10.99 incl. P&P (also a 20% discount if you've not used them before - think it was FIRST20 but massive signs to it everywhere too).

Only a few people left to get for and we haven't even got to October half-term Shock

monahue · 08/10/2012 21:30

Thanks for the Molten Brown code -that's a January birthday sorted

jimswifein1964 · 08/10/2012 21:46

I cant get on punkyfish Sad

ChristmasKate · 08/10/2012 21:53

I've Been on PunkyFish for nearly 30 minutes hopefully saving over £200 on tacky track suits and funky work flats but the website won't accept my payment, such a slow site.

NotShortImFunSized · 08/10/2012 21:59

Moosey Thank you soooo much Flowers Have just ordered DD that pink leap pad 2 Grin Bargain!

Sorry about the Punkyfish site, it really is being slow. I thought it was just because I was on my phone Sad

NotShortImFunSized · 08/10/2012 21:59

Grrrr I always do that! Thanks even.

jimswifein1964 · 08/10/2012 22:06

Everything I've clicked on so far in the '£5' sale has taken ages to load, and then you find out it says '+£5' in the dropdown, so it actually costs a tenner Sad.

I'm still waiting to hear back from Boden re my order too!

ChristmasKate · 08/10/2012 22:28

notshort thank you. I didn't get the tacky trackie for DD because it was out of stock before my order went through but I have now purchased £75 of flat & heeled work shoes for £15 - £4 Smile

jim items were showing as £10 but once loaded were £5 in checkout incase that helps.

SminkoPinko · 08/10/2012 22:30

Punkyfish bag and red jumper just purchased at 3rd slooow attempt. But so bargainatious! Thanks, notshort.

Aspiemum2 · 08/10/2012 22:32

Just been on the entertainer website and picked up a load of bargains, great prices. Remembered quidco and they've doubled the cash back at the moment so it's 12% Grin

wizzler · 08/10/2012 22:36

Marking my place

ChristmasKate · 08/10/2012 22:46

smink you appear to have stolen my DD's jumper and bag from my shopping bag!! Grin

SminkoPinko · 08/10/2012 22:58

Mwahahahahahahaha, ChristmasKate. I think you mean MY SON'S red jumper! (and my sil's bag).

Seriously, hope yours goes through. It took 3 times at a snails pace for me but all well in the end.

3duracellbunnies · 09/10/2012 06:50

Marking place as been trying not to spend too much money, still have a few left to buy though.

Gormella · 09/10/2012 07:09

As mentioned yesterday, ELC have today got 50% and 20% + off selected Happyland, Rosebud range and Big City toys online, plus other stuff I'm sure. I only had a quick look.
