The one after Robotgate, away in a manger it’s the 4th Christmassy bargain thread

Away in a manger is a nod to girlwiththeyellowhats - we await a live birth thread on here Wink no pressure to call your DC Holly or Noel

I can?t believe we are on the fourth thread already I blame robotgate for using up the last thread Wink . Please forgive the fact that so many sale and amazon products aren?t individually linked or are linked but price may since change by the time you click on it - so many of them are out of stock and amazon seem to change prices on an almost hourly basis (it feels like) on a number of items that were previously linked to. As usual please tell me if any of these links/codes don?t work or if there?s anything particularly you want to be in the next OP (assuming there is another Wink ) how would I do any shopping without you now

Thanks for all your help in helping my christmas shopping in 2013 be once again bargainous Grin

Thank you Justbecause. It says I cannot do it on the iPad so will have to dust off the desk-top, if I can find it Blush

itsonlysubterfuge · 31/08/2013 19:32

In my local area they have an auctioneers that are always doing good deals. Sometimes things there are new, sometimes used. Most of their toys are new. My local auctioneer is T.L.H. if you do a google search for auctioneers near you, you might find something worthwhile. The website i-bidder has different auctioneers, but a lot of them seem to be in the Northwest.

shufflebum · 31/08/2013 19:33

Ooh that's my brother and DH sorted Voldemort thanks!

BitchyRestingFace · 31/08/2013 19:47

Joining thread. Have been lurking and have nabbed a few bargains so thought I should say thanks! Smile

If I come across anything I'll be sure and post it here!

So excited about Christmas and I do not care that it's still August!

HenriettaPye · 31/08/2013 19:59

Does anyone know if ELC usually have a sale before Xmas? I seen some things today and was tempted to get them but dont want to get them at full price now if they are likely to be on offer in the next few months!!

In my local home bargains today they had the ding-e ding-e babies reduced from £14.99 to £1.99 which I thought was good as very currently have them at half price for £7.50! Slightly creepy looking but DD seemed to like them Smile

Also got a fantastic Duplo DK ultimate sticker book for DS for less than £2!

starjules · 31/08/2013 20:02

HenriettaPye, Yes ELC always have sales. Its also worth joining the birthday club as they will send you a 20% off code for the birthday month.

VoldemortsNipple · 31/08/2013 20:04

You're welcome shufflebum

On a more serious note... the countdown to Christmas has officially begun! X factor has started Grin

iloveholidays · 31/08/2013 20:11

VoldemortsNipple DP said to me last night "guess what starts tomorrow, X factor and what does it mean once it ends..... CHRISTMAS" He's actually starting to take an interest in my Christmas obsession now :)

iloveholidays · 31/08/2013 20:31

Personalised Christmas candles, £2.99 + £2.70 Postage but if you order more than one then only 30p postage for additional ones. I think that's well it reads anyway :)

here

HenriettaPye · 31/08/2013 20:40

Ah thanks will hold off then! DCs birthdays have already past this year but will sign up for next year!

Freemilk · 31/08/2013 21:07

THanks for all the info about pillow pets, I google them and unfortunately my niece saw me and now she only wants the rainbow unicorn!!!
Unfortunately someone else saw me google the Lego soaps so I'm not doing too well tonight!

dawntigga · 31/08/2013 21:07

Thank you v much.

wintersdawn · 31/08/2013 21:27

not good, I've just started thinking of Christmas, 5 mins on this thread and I've already spent a fortune!!

JustBecauseICan · 31/08/2013 21:42

Grin at Voldemort, dd and I have been saying all week with the Strictly ads that Christmas is a-comin' and now with the X fac it feels real!

VoldemortsNipple · 31/08/2013 21:44

ilove I know! I work in a nursery and erased any symbol of summer on Friday ready to start on getting ready for Christmas Autumn displays Grin

Theonlyoneiknow · 31/08/2013 22:09

Anyone still waiting for their WH Smith books?

starjules · 31/08/2013 22:16

HenriettaPye, with the elc birthday club it can be any family child with a birthday or even friends children so I am sure one of those must have a birthday in Sept, Oct or November iyswim!!!

JazzAnnNonMouse · 31/08/2013 22:16

Just in case anyone is looking at the kitchen - I brought it and its great but only 60cm tall so smaller than I was expecting

PoppyWearer · 31/08/2013 22:17

Still waiting for my WHSmith books here!

Theonlyoneiknow · 31/08/2013 22:35

Still waiting too! :

Freemilk · 31/08/2013 23:22

Jazz is that the elc kitchen that is small?

I wanted to say earlier I ordered from smiths a few days ago and had an email saying my books had been dispatched but I ordered to pick up in shop might be the difference

SpottyTeacakes · 01/09/2013 06:27

Happy September everyone. We can now officially be excited about Christmas GrinGrin (right?!)

GeekInThePink · 01/09/2013 08:39

Happy September!

jamtoast12 · 01/09/2013 08:40

Ah so glad its September....once kids go back to school this week, I find most people find buying christmas bits acceptable!

joymaker · 01/09/2013 08:44

Too right Spotty!

If any of you see any lovely advent candles going for a reasonable price (will burning them) will you let me know TIA
