Yes, I added little girl socks to make up to £60 too! We do ok with tights but never ever have 2 matching socks apart from the few wonderful days following new sock buying... I wonder what the mock croc bag will be like too. Apparently out of stock at the moment so I may have a longish wait to find out! I'm hoping it will be the perfect present for someone though.

Thanks Oreo but already tried that and it didn't work Sad

pigleychez · 14/10/2012 10:40

Marking my place. On the look out for Adult gifts. The children's bits are all bought and hidden! :)

Brill suggestion for the Paper Jamz drum set from The Entertainer.
Just ordered and will collect next week.
They'll be perfect for dn's.

WineGless · 14/10/2012 11:13

Oreo you beat me to the link for Gisela Graham Xmas decorations.

DS has announced this morning that he wants sky landers. Can anyone fill me in on this latest fad. Is it just for the wii?

cece · 14/10/2012 11:33

Thank you have ordered some Elemis hand lotion for my work colleagues/friends. Bargain plus you can go through topcashback....

Have a look at the last two threads as well Kat some great bargains!

DS has asked me to get her kids Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid on DVD for her kids. Any ideas on where to buy? They haven't ben spotted in the BOGOF deals and I worry about copies from Ebay.

Vagaceratops · 14/10/2012 11:54

The Little Mermaid is due to be re-released early next year, s copies are few and far between.

SeveredEdMcDunnough · 14/10/2012 12:00

Winegless, ds also wants this - I have pre-ordered it from Gamestation, as you get something free with that apparently - like a fiver's worth of extra character or something.

Sorry, I have no idea what the deal is but I do know it's the new version, called Giants, and it isn't out yet!

Might be better offers elsewhere.

SeveredEdMcDunnough · 14/10/2012 12:01

and it's for the wii or PS3 I think. We only have a wii.

SeveredEdMcDunnough · 14/10/2012 12:02

Oh and according to amazon, also x box and 3ds. Think it's something like 59.99 in Gamestation.

flinkystanny · 14/10/2012 12:12

ooh Mooseymoo that Christmas CD looks great, will definitly be ordering that

pumpkin2012 · 14/10/2012 12:12

Great thread. Marking place & preparing credit card!

Wineglass

We haven't got Skylanders but saw this. Looks like there's a multibuy offer on but not sure of the details.

20% off code TRU20H until the end of today.

Thanks for the link.
This has thrown me completely as I had planned DC big presents.

oreocrumbs · 14/10/2012 14:06

rhondajean, yes they had girls too but colour/price varies. The girls pink is £45, but the girls grey is £59. DSD wants grey ones so I have ordered the boys grey which are £45. Not sure what the difference is, I can't see any!

oreocrumbs · 14/10/2012 14:19

I'm in need of awkward parents/PIL and siblings presents!

The children have done very well and I worry will continue to do so since it is only october and there are bound to be loads more bargains I can't resisit!

Can we keep an eye out for alcohol offers. A good bottle of whiskey and port in particular. That will take care of two of my lot!

tassisssss · 14/10/2012 14:23

Anyone seen a cheap Baby Annabel? I'm so cross with myself for missing (just) the one that was half price in Argos last week.

Very tempted to get paperjamz drums as wee extra for ds...

oreocrumbs · 14/10/2012 14:26

£25 itunes voucher for £20 instore at Asda. - Taken from another site so not confirmed by me, worth keeping an eye out for if you are in there.

BlathersNightOfTheLivingDead · 14/10/2012 14:29

marking place for a good nose through later

oreocrumbs · 14/10/2012 14:30

In todays Times newspaper there is a coupon for £10 off a £60 shop in morrisons. Worth spending £2.50 to buy the paper if you are a morrissons shopper.
