www.thetoyshop.com/Paper-Jamz/Paper-Jamz-Pro-Guitar%2C-Amp%2C-Microphone-and-Gig-Bag-Value-Pack/p/514300

No idea what it is but bit of a bargain I assume!

TwerkingNinetoFive · 08/10/2013 21:33

Chocolate have you set it up? Is it good? I have the same one but it's still in the box.

CarmonEileen · 08/10/2013 21:35

Thank you Jamtoast and 3BB's very different reviewsGrin Dd has never been a girly girl past years wanting more boy type toys so this is quite something her asking for something pink for starters never mind girly! So I really want to indulge a little with this new found girl power Grin
I will stick it on my amazon wish list and see if it drops at all and also see how much more it gets mentioned Thanks again ladies.

Has anybody mentioned that there is now a Toys page on the TK Maxx website?

www.tkmaxx.com/gifts/toys-and-books/icat/4608?cm_mmc=email--08%2f10%2f2013--WK%2036%20KidsAUD%20-_-general%20email%20clicks#esp_hitsperpage=200

They don't often have one on there. Lots of toys, including lots of Melissa and Doug stuff, Lego, Barbie, Transformers, etc etc Stuff is disappearing off there though (I saw it earlier this evening and came back to post on here now the dc have settled and already the list is several items shorter than it was earlier).

May well be worth checking out. They also have lots of purses in at the moment with huge amounts taken off - so £20/30/40 instead of £80/100/140 etc including Furla and Osprey. Last year they had nice men's wallets for similar discounts but haven't checked them yet.

AnneEyhtMeyer · 08/10/2013 21:52

I think DD would love that guitar and amp but I'm wondering if it would be too old for her - I'm thinking about getting it for her 5th birthday?

ValiumQueen · 08/10/2013 21:53

Rhonda my story is very similar to you. DD1 age 7 got up to the loo in the night and left the hot tap running. We have very slow draining sinks and the flood extended into the upper hall and one bedroom. Thankfully my youngest woke me at about 1am and after settling him I heard the boiler and thought it odd that it was on. I then had wet feet. We used every towel in the house and it had gone through to the downstairs hall and kitchen, but thankfully it all seems ok. I dread to think what would have happened after another 5 hours of running water Confused I am now obsessive about taps.

I will be cancelling DDs at the bank and sending an email notice to the company. If any mags then turn up I would return them as by accepting them I would be accepting their service or goods and would be liable to pay for them.

giraffeseatpineapples · 08/10/2013 22:05

NannyPlumb getting ultra bargainous bargains is just more satisfying!

neddle · 08/10/2013 22:15

Anyone got any opinions on this scooter on TXMaxx?

DS is 5 (6 in feb) and has asked for a scooter. He's tall for his age and has two older siblings, so not a 'young' 5.

Massive bargain at £120 down to £30, but is it worth that price?

Oh no Valium we may need our own support thread.

I have removed all plugs from upstairs and they will now have to be counted out and counted back in if you need a bath etc.

fairimum · 08/10/2013 22:28

sorry to be out of the loop, but what is the webpage?app? that can tell you when a price drops on Amazon?
thanks so much :)

lilylaville · 08/10/2013 22:36

It's camelcamelcamel make sure you use the uk version

dementedma · 08/10/2013 22:37

Got the warren James bracelet. Supposedly reduced from £119 to £19. Hmmm,its OK for £19 but I doubt very much its worth £119. Wasn't even boxed, just in a plastic bag.
Dd2 will love it anyway, because its pretty and sparkly but not overly impressed with it.

cartoad · 08/10/2013 22:38

They had the paper jamz mike and amp set on Home Bargains for £4.99 instead of about £30 I think if you don't want a complete set of stuff.

Pumpkintopf · 08/10/2013 22:42

I frequently take out the magazine subscription deals ie 3 for £1 etc ie, good food, radio times etc and have ever had a problem cancelling the direct debit but they didn't come with freebies. Think that will make a difference?

Theimpossiblegirl · 08/10/2013 23:15

The Paper Jamz mic and amp set are real faves in this house. Probably the best gift last year I really recommend them and will be buying them for cousins and friend's kids this year.

BuffyFairy · 08/10/2013 23:27

Thanks Isaac for the blazer and bag deal. I've been wanting a blazer for ages and treated myself to the navy one with striped cuffs and the weekend bag.

Ordered the pearl bracelet and necklace for £10 in the warren James sale too.

picklechops · 08/10/2013 23:29

I'm after some orla for my sister in law! The link above took me to a full priced flask, shame as that would've been amazeballs. Spam with some alternatives... Please!

izzybizzybuzzybees · 08/10/2013 23:46

Ooh I too have ordered a blazer. I don't think it will fit but the bag was good!

joymaker · 09/10/2013 00:54

Just caught up with the thread.

itsonlysubterfuge thanks for the guestimate size on the brooches, now need to decide which ones to go for ... do hope you find them this side of Christmas Grin
