Morning all :)

I have a kindle in my basket, ready to go :o

Nice to see some Lego finally, but the sets aren't as good as last years by the looks of it :(

What will you have in your basket today?

Hi! This thread is a little out of date. This thread is a little out of date. If you're looking for deals, take a look at our black Friday deals roundup.

Did anyone look here today. Can't see anything worth having personally.

I'll be about for the last 2 days. See if there are any little stocking filler type stuff going cheap-ish.

£10 of a £400 phone??
And I thought Apple were quite stingy with their discounts today!

I bought the wii, but now having second thoughts. The new one is coming out next week and I'm now wondering if the prices of the original wii will crash. I guess I can send it back(I hope Confused).

I was wondering about the Galaxy S. I can't even see it on the missed deals. So did it just go altogether? As in, wasn't even offered?

Yeah, I know there are two days left, but I'm going to be fairly busy over the weekend, so not able to be here as much. Also, DH will be around as the angel on my shoulder, so I am sure he would talk me out of anything I wanted to buy :o
Will try and pop in if there is a new thread for the weekend :)

I took ds3 up to bed at 7pm to get him to sleep for the 8pm deals... He has just gone off and I missed everything

Turn it round: your lovely DS3 has just saved you a significant amount of money. I, on the other hand, am going to be surrounded by a pile of weird brown boxes full of brightly-coloured plastic, dubious-sounding cooking implements and wallets next week.

Oh. Dear. I've just re-read all my confirmation emails from Amazon. Confused

  • Bomb Cosmetics Vintage Velvet Gift Set: for SIL or MIL
  • Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes Boxed Set: for DD
  • 6 month subscription to LoveFilm: for DH
  • Kipling wallet: for DBro's GF, or FIL, or BIL
  • Diono Ultra Mat Car Seat Protector: for DH's car
  • Emeli Sande album: for DF
  • Lola Rose bracelet: for DM
  • another Kipling wallet: for DBro's GF, or FIL, or BIL
  • braising/casserole tongs: for DBro's GF (again!)
  • Ernie Fire Engine: for DS or DN
  • VTech Crawl and Learn Bright Lights Ball: for DD
  • Pampers nappies size 3: for DD


I'm sure all of the above seemed like a good idea at the time but Confused

A more rational list would be:

  • Bomb Cosmetics Vintage Velvet Gift Set
  • 6 month subscription to LoveFilm
  • Emeli Sande album
  • Lola Rose bracelet


Hmm

^Casserole tongs>?! She's just going to love me!

I wonder why they pulled the Samsung? Technical issue maybe? Couldn't be bothered getting off the shelf? I dunno. Was reading the Amazon forum and there are a lot irate people on there. Apparently the customer service people didn't know anything about it either.

Think I might have to look at the offers again tomorrow, but I'll accept that the best offers have already gone now.

Slightly thats an impressive list! I'm also Grining about the casserole tongs. Saying that, I'd love anything kitcheny/cooking/baking for Christmas!

I'm sure there are a few different items on for tomorrow. DD's would love the kids tablet but will still be far too expensive i would imagine.
Nice stunt scooters for older DC.

NoSoggyBottoms · 24/11/2012 00:39

Yep, I've noticed a few new items too...nothing to get too excited about though.

Still think I'll be watching Amazon tomorrow! Why not?! Will stick it out to the bitter end Grin

Morning! I'm guessing from reading the rest of the thread, I didn't miss any amazing deals whilst I was out?

I'm gonna stick it out 'till the bitter end Grin

DO I return them or sell on Ebay? Got them for £50 and they're normally £130.
