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?

Lala - If you want the Mr Men compare with The Book People. They have the full set for £30, plus there's 10% off today, and free postage. So £27 all in from them.

Just checked email....yes the Playstation/Vita is listed, and the One Direction signed copy of their album. Kinda spoils the cryptic clues though!

I also had an email saying that I've won $500k on a BMW lottery....get in! Grin lol

Steam mop gone from my basket now.. Can't believe that 57% have claimed the N Dubz tshirt Hmm

Soggy I'm really bad when it comes to bargains, if it's not enough of a discount I won't go for it and then I'll end up regretting it later on.. BUT it is stopping me go overdrawn Grin

I have the kindle app on my iPad. It's great, no need to connect to anything. I get some books on kindle, some on iBooks.

I bought DH the kindle for his birthday, in an impressive display of selfless oneupmanship he gave me the iPad for mine the next month. I win! But I guess depends what you use it for. DH reads on the train to work, plane, etc, and is usually carrying work laptop at same time. Kindle's smaller, lighter, easier to read one-handed (or in bed). I use my iPad as a laptop substitute eg now when feeding the baby or doing online grocery orders whilst supervising DD at the playground. When I get books, they're mostly cookery type ones...

Took ages for the buy button to appear on the Panasonic TV offer. I'm on the Waitlist but it's not that much more expensive elsewhere TBH.

Well my light wand and little mix cd have arrived (it's not signed, they've drawn features on themselves like glasses and a beard Hmm). Was hoping it'd be my fly boots as it says they're out for delivery. Hope they come later so I can wear them tonight.

I bought the wii u-draw as i chickened out last time, was going to buy it on zavvi but it said 'delivery up to a month' so payed the exta pound to get it today Smile. Looks like today could be an expensive day.

Ah I just bought the Sat Nav. I can't decide if it's a good investment or not. We have one but it's 4 years old and it's not great, it's very hard to find software to update it. If you're on a newly built road, then it just shows a white space.

So far Ive bought: Canon camera, bench hat set, trunki suitcase and the sat nav. I also want to buy the chuggington dvd set.

I'll be scared to check my bank account at the end of the month. Blush

Ooh I must be lucky today. As soon as I posted my last message there was a knock on the door with 2 big boxes. Containing my fly boots (which hoorah! they do fit up my fat legs just) and my food processor. Happy :D
