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

Thank you to whoever alerted me to the Ocado sale - am waiting for more wooden food (I am referring to toys, no reflection on ocado carrots!) as I write. That is to go with the wooden kitchen he is getting NEXT Christmas (2014). You have all been very bad for my bank balance indeed.

Also whoever posted about the Very Hungry Caterpillar backpack. It arrived today and is very cute. It made DS smile a lot and he is currently chewing the antennae (there may be tears shortly when I remove it from his mouth!)

BeaWheesht · 24/09/2013 12:14

The Asda one does have clicking dials but the doors snapped off our one

bymoonlight · 24/09/2013 12:18

Why can't I find Sophie the Giraffe on Argos?

CatAmongThePigeons · 24/09/2013 12:21

Does anyone know if the 3 for 2 stacks with other discounts like the 2 for £30?

pettyprudence · 24/09/2013 12:23

Boots gave me 3 for 2 on their clearance toys (which were making way for the christmas stock)

mootime · 24/09/2013 12:24

Ocado shop just arrived. Very little food, too many toys! Problem with buying online is stocking fillers can be quite large!!

CatAmongThePigeons · 24/09/2013 12:25

Argos' website is struggling to cope with demand on their servers atm gah!

Rhinopotamus · 24/09/2013 12:26

Just saw an advert for 25% off TU clothing at Sainsburys.

bymoonlight · 24/09/2013 12:28

Are you pleased with it all mootime?

mootime · 24/09/2013 12:43

By moonlight. All great. Infact the Le Toy Van stuff is really very nice. Got the toaster set, crate of flowers, biscuit set and ice cream stacker and they are lovely. Nicer I'd say than the Melissa and Doug stuff I've bought previously. Total bargain. Must stop now, I've got too much for the dc. Only stocking items allowed from now on.

Kelly281 · 24/09/2013 13:09

Do any of you know the name of the stuffed animal toys that light up to create a pattern on the ceiling? I've watched the advert so many times, but can't remember the name of the product! Thanks

mum2jakie · 24/09/2013 13:14

Kelly - they are Pillow Pet Dream Lites. There are a few cheaper versions around.

I bought one from Amazon and it didn't work so I had to get a refund! Eventually found a (working) replacement in Smyths where it cost less at£19.99. It's not brilliant, in all honesty, but my three year old likes it!

armani · 24/09/2013 13:15

does anyone know how the argos 3 for 2 works on the toys that are 2 for £30?
the cuddleuppets are £20 but 2 for £30, I need 3 but am guessing they wont allow the third for free? that would be a massive bargain! Grin

SayHelloToMyLittleFriend · 24/09/2013 13:16

Kelly281 I think they're called Dream Lites pillow pets. I bought my dd a similar one from The Works for about £10, if I can find it I'll link it for you.

avalu · 24/09/2013 13:18

I've reserved a number of items from Argos this morning but none of my confirmation emails have come through to my email. They are definately reserved as they are now out of stock and I reserved the last of the in stock items. Has anyone else had this problem?

LippyDiDooDah · 24/09/2013 13:24

Got a letter from Glamour today saying thankyou for my valued custom and that they are in receipt of my cancellation notice (but that I'll still get the Nov issue ).

£1 = valued custom Grin

Theonlyoneiknow · 24/09/2013 13:34

Is 18mo too young for a play kitchen ? Which is the,Best one too get ? Was looking at the Ikea one, think it is down to £45. Is the Asda one good, or any other make i should look at ?

RiverRocks · 24/09/2013 13:40

I've just been on BHS and there are money off codes if anyone shops there (I was buying an emergency bikini for my holiday at the weekend):
£5 off £25 with BHS25; £10 off £50 with BHS50 and £25 off £100 with Voucher code BHS100
(ps first post, so I apologise if I don't do it right!)

jamtoast12 · 24/09/2013 13:43

Looks like argos is cycling offers, in the past month its been 3 for 2 all toys, then 3 for 2 selected toys, then 25% off and this ends tomorrow to be replaced again by 3 for 2! So I wouldn't panic if you miss out as it'll be on again as each offer has come on the exact day as the previous one ended!

These look good for stockings...

itsonlysubterfuge · 24/09/2013 13:56

Theonlyoneiknow We are getting a play kitchen for our DD for Christmas and she will be 17 months. She has enjoyed playing with the toy kitchen at the GP's since she was 12 months. She is tiny and can't even reach the sink, but loves to open and shut the doors and put things in and take them out.

BeaWheesht · 24/09/2013 13:59

Argos don't stack 2 for £x with the 342

Theonlyoneiknow · 24/09/2013 14:04

Thanks itsonlysubterfuge, which one are you getting ?

mootime · 24/09/2013 14:19

I'd go for the ikea kitchen. DS got his when he was 18mo and still plays with it daily, as does DD 20mo. It's not showing any wear even though its spent the summer in the garden playhouse.

Allyblaster · 24/09/2013 14:31

The Literary Book Company has 10% off until tomorrow at midday with the code NEWNESS. Some nice gift ideas if you have book lovers to buy for.

AllThatGlistens · 24/09/2013 14:39

I've just whacked in a reservation for a £200 order at Argos (I have 3DC, I'm not mental, I promise!)

Have just worked out a 3 for 2 offer on my reservation list will bring it down to £110 and that's for nearly all of the DC's main presents, I'll be thrilled with that!

< is actually pondering sitting up until midnight to see if the offer starts- saddo > Grin
