I have bought my nephew a paper jamz guitar (only £7.50 on amazon) do I need to ge anything else to go with it? An amp or something?

Does the guitar need to be plugged into this

I've bought this, it's smaller than I expected (good news) but I have resisted the drums and guitar, my nerves can't cope!

I love this thread! Just went to the spicery and bought 24 of the teaspoon sized spice samples to make my BF's advent calendar :)

Don't know if its already been said but 20% of Early learning centre online using code: FRVY valid until the 15th October

Oh gawd the drums have dropped to £5 googles ear plugs

I think it's a good idea to repost this on the new thread especially as I have just linked to the Entertainer site above.

I checked my online banking today and the Entertainer had taken payment of my order twice.

I called customer services with my order number and advisor was great and said they will refund me on Monday morning but my bank may take upto 5 working days to credit my account so I'm now £100 down.

Worth checking.

Seriously debating a set of those drums for dd1.

She's just appeared with a list of about a dozen t shirts which apparently she cannot live without.

Sigh.

sunnyday thank you so much for the heads up on the barbie, dd has been going on about that for ages! Xmas shopping officially started

Christmaskate, that happened to me except they took payment 3 times (for £130). Was a nightmare to get back although my bank was great.
Today they've refunded all 3 payments!! Sure that 1 will go back out though

Marking my place

Can anyone please link to drums? I think that DS would love some, but he's only 2 and the only drum pad thing that I've seen had bullet holes on it .

Oooo thread number three!!!

A huge thank you to HokeyCokey for the £30 off code, I just ordered DH some new converse for £30!

that's excellent OhTheConfusion that's such a good code, even dh was impressed with that one!

What code? slight panic at maybe missing a bargain

Aspie all 3 might be a good will gesture if your lucky.

The lady I spoke to said it hasn't happened before so I explained that I only used their site via a recommendation from a well known parenting forum and that it has happened over the last few weeks.

I joked that the bad publicity even virally could be damaging as we have a habit of tweeting our displeasure and getting our own way and she asked if she could take my telephone number so a manager could speak to me on Monday

Iirc wasn't it John Lewis & the undelivered bed the most recent thread where we ended up with customer services on the thread and on twitter? love it

Ah, thank you. I bought the microphone for ds, might give it to dn instead

pixe the link is my googles ear plugs one up thread.

Haha, well I hope you get more than the half hearted apology I got. I was mortified when my card was rejected in tesco when I should have had money available (they cleared that account)
Luckily I had another form of payment but imagine if I didn't, 4 kids and a week with no money?

The stuff I bought arrived fine, really pleased with it but scared to buy from them again.

Aspie i was on the JL bed thread, i tweeted and they contacted me as well. We got that MN a new bed the same day!!

FWIW i have used The Entertainer for years and never had a problem.

LaRedoute £30 off a £60 spend code is 0280.

Thanks for the code. I have a weirdly low limit on one of my cc's not sure why but will be handy if I decide to shop there again
