Seven threads already Shock

Massive congrats to girl and thanks for supplying me with the thread title Grin . Definitely call her reastie if it’s a girl actually would work for a boy too

I’ve been a bit sporadic with this OP once again in what has been selected for adding in or not as there are too many links to add them all in, hope I haven’t forgotten anything major. 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. I haven’t checked all links to see if prices have altered since last thread so apologies if youg et very excited followed by disappointed. I will try to do better next time. 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

nickdrakeslovechild · 23/09/2013 22:13

iloveholidays that's a great price for the pillow pet blanket especially the puppy one. I've been after one of those for ages. Flowers

Littlemousewithcloggson · 23/09/2013 22:15

Also a wooden train set and a domino run. Just remembered those because I didn't need them but still bought them

Rubybrazilianwax · 23/09/2013 22:31

Can the verbaudet codes only be used once per person? If I'm ordering£80 worth of stuff is it better to split it and get £20 off each order?

coveredinweetabix · 23/09/2013 22:36

Has anyone received the Studio Xmas duvet covers? At £9.99, they're a bargain and I prefer the design to the Next one but I know Next will be decent quality. Given its going to be on DD's bed for 24 consecutive nights and will have to be washed & dried in the same day at the weekends (and if she wets her bed!), I need it to wash easily.

shufflebum · 23/09/2013 22:46

Anyone seen any cheap cutting vegetables or fruit? The wooden stuff with Velcro in the middle. A friends daughter loves ours and I really want to get her some but we have a self imposed budget of £5 when buying for each others children.

PoppyWearer · 23/09/2013 23:03

Have ordered my Boden odds and ends (they have Halloween and Christmas tops for the DCs!) but now fallen in love with some Monsoon clothes for my friends' baby. Does anyone have a Monsoon code please? Not heard from Monsoon for a while!

sameoldiggi · 23/09/2013 23:06

Was looking tonight for a cheap (but decent!) shopping trolley for ds2, but stupidly looked at the £18 Waitrose one in JL, and now want that rather than the plastic one I'd been going to get..
I got a Boden voucher, though I've bought several bits this year, there seems no logic to it. New scarf here I come Smile

Theonlyoneiknow · 23/09/2013 23:07

Ikea do a decent wooden train set

onelittlepiglet · 23/09/2013 23:09

Sameolddiggi - letter box have a metal shopping trolley here for £10 any good?

Pachacuti · 23/09/2013 23:11

shufflebum, there's this on eBay, if you're prepared to not count postage in your £5 limit.

bymoonlight · 23/09/2013 23:14

sameoldiggi - I bought a metal trolley about four years ago when dd1 was 2.

It was rubbish. It couldn't stay together and the dolly seat was useless.

I downgraded to a plastic one a few months later and its still going strong. DD2 is now using it.

I don't know what the John Lewis one is like but I would go for plastic everytime.

bymoonlight · 23/09/2013 23:15

Ocado had cheap fruit in the half price toy sale but I don't know if it was under a fiver or if its still in stock

TwerkingNineToFive · 23/09/2013 23:23

shopping trolly
Not as cheap but this one looks good and is really really sturdy.

raisah · 24/09/2013 00:30

Reastie I saw it advertised and I would advise you to queue before opening time minus toddler if possible. It will be busy particularly if the opening is scheduled for half term.

GirlWithTheYellowHat · 24/09/2013 01:21

shufflebum I got my set from sainsburys for 3.50. It's sold out at the moment but if you're prepared to hold on for a wee while I'm sure it'll be back. I'm waiting for the salad bowl!

joymaker · 24/09/2013 01:55

Thanks a lot for the moneybox ideas.
Moosey He loves arts and crafts so would enjoy painting that but I'm now loathed to pay postage for anything it on top (no local Entertainer) Grin

TwerkingNine He'd love that but bit more than I wanted to spend as I've bought way too much quite a lot for him already

Robina Already looked in my local ones and they didn't have any.

shufflebum The set that Girl is refering to was in my local sainsbury's today so might be worth checking yours.

Girl Trust all is going very well with baby Emily? Smile

Reastie · 24/09/2013 06:31

MCES should give 20% off and free delivery with boden (I used it with my £10 voucher

raisah no chance of no toddler....I just thought we might pop there on my day off. Maybe we'll drive past near open time and see how it looks and if it's that bad go to another shop!

OP posts:
sameoldiggi · 24/09/2013 07:04

Thanks for the shopping trolley ideas Grin Will examine once I'm up properly!
Amazon local sent me this offer this morning, might suit someone: a set of 6 coasters and placemats, with different Banksy designs on them, for £15.

LaTrucha · 24/09/2013 07:09

£24 off a £50 spend at Vertbaudet for 24hrs - code 5437. Good for those wanting cotton bathrobes.

LaTrucha · 24/09/2013 07:13

Has to be full priced items, which is always the trick with them. They're so hard to find because they reduce so much (because theya re so damned expensive to start with).

MooseyMoo · 24/09/2013 07:44

Body Shop has 40% off, free gift with £5 spend and 18% CB with Quidco

Code is HONEY and the free gift is option of three: Hemp hand protector 100 ml, shea body butter 200 ml or vitamin e moisture cream 50ml.

If you spend over £20 you get free delivery

ValiumQueen · 24/09/2013 07:49

Little Tikes do a plastic shopping trolley and they last for ever. Best to try to get one second hand if possible as they can be pricy.

Mama1980 · 24/09/2013 07:53

My letterbox order has been dispatched Grin
Does anyone have a free delivery code for the book people?

MooseyMoo · 24/09/2013 07:59

mama CHEERS is the current free delivery code
