I'm looking on any offers on Playmobil, specifically the barn with silo (no. 5119). They no longer sell it at ELC and seems to be £89.99 everywhere!?
Thanks Grin

one tesco have a cracking swat team and I have seen a link to half price pyramid and whale and boat set at toys r u's and if you spend £50 a free advent calender

Thanks everyday and sayhello I've been eyeing up that book for ages. Saw it was on Red House but didn't have free delivery code.

I also bought 12 days of christmas as was £1 off when bought with any christmas book.

Thanks for the Jolly Christmas Postman! I've had that in my Amazon basket to buy later at full price!

Titsalina for DH I've bought a few spices from the company linked earlier, gourmet popcorn and this for me bacon sandwiches on Christmas morning.

Also strongly considering this unusual gift experience but a bit scared he'd want to to go with him Shock

Yay, glad to have contributed as I've used other's recommendations Smile. Thanks for code sayhello.

one - these people have it for £78 including free delivery, not sure if there are any more discounts beyond that, haven't checked them out on the discount voucher sites.

Alternatively keep an eye out to see if anywhere still has any of the last year's playmobil mega farm sets - 4055 - they were selling between £70-£100 last year instead of £250, they had a big barn (but no silo), farm house, tractor, fences, loads of animals and assorted little playmobil gubbins. Good bargain if you can find one at that sort of price, but lots and lots of assembly to do I'm guessing (I nearly got one last year but instead got the pyramid for my dc, which they loved and is still getting lots of play).

Just bought the convese on la redoute with £30 off. Thank you!

wildpoppy · 16/10/2012 12:09

Converse I mean

WannaSplitAPineapple · 16/10/2012 12:25

If you spend over £30 at Redhouse you can get 5% off with. AFACORN

silver28 · 16/10/2012 12:36

oneofeach the playmobil barn is £81 on amazon today - not much cheaper than you have found but £30 lower than rrp (allegedly)

The lego city mine is down from £70 to £50 on amazon at the moment. Am debating whether to buy for DS from the GPs but he's already getting so much lego from us....

ChoccyJules · 16/10/2012 12:36

Thanks for the idea of experiences, days out etc I will see if I can find anything to suit Smile

BlameItOnTheCuervForHumanBlood · 16/10/2012 12:45

Ooh, what's the converse thing, please?

Titsalinabumsquash · 16/10/2012 12:48

That zombie thing looks amaze! Grin sadly it's very far away. Sad

HokeyCokeyPigInAPokey · 16/10/2012 12:56

Blame that's the La Redoute code they sent me £30 off a £60 spend so can be used on anything, not just Converse.

Code is 0280

zipzap · 16/10/2012 12:57

Just seen an email come through to say there is a 60% off 12 hour sale on at toys r us right now - finishes midnight tonight.

just been to have a look but it is giving an error page - well it's claiming that it's planned maintenance but I can't believe that they would plan maintenance for the middle of the day when they have just sent out emails to say mahoosive sale on right now Grin

Might be worth having a look later though!

BlameItOnTheCuervForHumanBlood · 16/10/2012 12:58

Oh, brilliant, thank you.

Pippinintherain · 16/10/2012 13:01

The Entertainer have La La Loopsy dolls 25% off, so £18 ish.

HokeyCokeyPigInAPokey · 16/10/2012 13:07

Family ticket for The Golden Hinde, Sir Francis Drake's Ship only £12.00, from £20.00

I know it's not really christmassy it would be great for half term.

SpottyTeacakes · 16/10/2012 13:08

Asda have a wooden kitchen for £35, shame it's pink, but seems a good price?

HokeyCokeyPigInAPokey · 16/10/2012 13:28

Second Molton Brown order arrived, hand cream box was all bashed and damaged. I gave them a call and asked for a spare box as it's a present and they said they don't have spare boxes so i can keep it and they'll send me a new one.

What wonderful customer service!

OhTheConfusion · 16/10/2012 13:49

Hehe, it would appear there has been a rush on Converse... mine have been dispatched this morning so hoping they arrive soon.

www.vistaprint.co.uk/book96 for a 99p personalised photo calendar (unsure about postage as not found all the pics I want yet).

15% off a £75 spend at letterbox with the code: 15OFF

:-)

OhTheConfusion · 16/10/2012 13:58

Vista print link isnt working but if you go to the 'have you seen us on tv' link on the top right of the screen you get the same deal. Sorry. Blush
