My kipling bag has arrived. It is teeny tiny so will be given to 10 yo dd1 rather than kept by me. Not sure how much of a bargain it was but a quick google search suggests the only other website that has it are charging £30 so at £15 it was still a good deal. I know dd1 will love it as her friend has one. The organisation pockets inside are really good too Smile.

I haven't bought anything today - might go for some colouring pencils and also the bath bomb set later if I can remember to be in front of the computer at the right time. I have already done the google search to check the prices - will only order if they are real bargains!

The chromebook went for a good price today - it is a shame that ds1 didn't fancy spending his birthday money on it, but maybe he is more sensible than me Grin.

You can get some items when 100% claimed but not at the black friday price - check the numbers !

Oh wow. I just tried claiming everything that's sold out and all bar 2 went straight to basket!

Oh, and one of those just became available!

I had that yesterday with one of the kipling bags. I went to add myself to the wait list and it went straight into my basket with the timer and everything. I thought I was just lucky!

Well, that explains why the Leapster Explorer are there - a new model has just come out. I know it's obvious Amazon want to clear stock, but I still think it's a bit sad that they can't include a small number of new releases - stuff we'd really want to fight for Grin

Exactly Imp if we really had to fight for it, would add to the experience Grin

I got the hand cream but then realised it has 'rose water' which my mum will hate (will have to give it to someone else instead). Thats the only thing i have bought today. Am tempted to get the dog a dog bed but not sure if she likes disney princess Grin

I really should learn my lesson and not get sucked into this every year. Tomorrow at work I should have arriving; earrings (not that I needed them) some chilli flavoured liquorice (temporary insanity) and a box of Sculptress meal bars which at least will be useful. Grin

Snort at chilli flavoured liquorice!

I'm not much better, today I have ordered the Lola Rose bracelet, Andy warhol gun motif glossy metal ballpoint pen, the crabtree and evelyn hand therapy, the Monty Python box set (which sold out in 5 minutes!) and a Dog hair clipper!

I presume things are coming back in because I people are cancelling orders once they have had time to reconsider - same reason why you can be 500th on a waitlist and then suddenly get the item Grin

I think I would have cancelled the Kipling bag but it was dispatched really quickly Confused

I am properly excited during the last few minutes when the clock ticks down and then goes to:
Hrs:00 Mins:00 Secs:00
Then there is a pregnat pause where time stands still momentarily before the 'Add to Basket' sign pops up

I find that I really want one of those Berghaus rucksacks. But I don't camp or walk Confused Amazon's marketing team must have sold their souls...
