I’m doing things a little differently this time - if lost then see message 2 on the first page for the codes/info collated from previous threads (to save slow loading for those using phones).

Hope this works a bit better and please give me feedback Grin Thanks

we’ll need to start renting storage facilities to hide all this stuff the rate we’re going

We have a Playmobil Pirate ship for a just four year old. It would not work well for younger IMO. Have a look at the playmobil 123 barn?

babyseal · 11/10/2013 15:43

newton my Mum got ds the pirate ship last year when he was 4 and it is perfect for him. I would not suggest it for any younger than that; dd is 2.5 and has snapped a couple of bits on it when she has broken into her big brother's room to raid his closely guarded toy collection

Boo, Asda order cancelled. No champagne for me.

iloveholidays · 11/10/2013 15:48

Thanks Newton. I think it will be worth the visit, just need to plan a day when I don't have the DCs (which doesn't happen often!!!)

izzybizzybuzzybees · 11/10/2013 15:49

I've had a bunch of deliveries this morning....haven't opened them yet. I still want more tho!!!

craftynclothy · 11/10/2013 15:50

In other news my Xmas present for myself blazer/bag combo has arrived with my usual happy camp Yodel man Smile

IsaacCox · 11/10/2013 15:54

Keter Outdoor Coolbar Drinks Cooler Box Bar Table - Black/Green rrp £69 now £34.99

I've not had an email from Asda yet.

craftynclothy · 11/10/2013 15:55

So I tried my blazer on and asked DD1 what she thought. Apparently it looks "silly" and when I asked why it looked silly she said "Because it looks smart." Confused

trixymalixy · 11/10/2013 16:01

Well our box of awesome arrived. The kids were a bit meh about the contents. They found going to the locker thing and entering the code to get the box out much more exciting than the box contents. I don't think I'd bother subscribing although DS seems to be enjoying thejack solvit book that came in it.

Mama1980 · 11/10/2013 16:05

Just ordered a flavourly box thanks. Do I just cancel after the first box?

MooseyMoo · 11/10/2013 16:05

Bloody hell. Just had security check on credit card. My bank phoned and went through past two days transactions. I am now very Blush. However, I do remember all transactions and could say that I had made them

SpookyTeacakes · 11/10/2013 16:09

Grin Moosey

Yes mama it's really easy you just click on unsubscribe in your account Smile

MooseyMoo · 11/10/2013 16:13

Got a voucher in with my Flavourly box for Beer52. I've signed up for a box of 8 bottles of beer for £14 (should be £24)

BREWR10 for £10 off

Will report back if any good.

jenniferalisonphillipasue · 11/10/2013 16:20

Won't help anyone but very excited that I just got one of these for my dd's birthday for £9.00: www.angels-face.co.uk/7-pettiskirts
We have a great shop near us which has loads of bargains and the packaging is a little damaged but it's perfect. Should have been £56!

newtonupontheheath · 11/10/2013 16:21

Thank you... DH doesn't think its a good idea either. It seems to be on offer every year, so maybe a good one for next Christmas. May still get the 123 zoo for them both to share.

ScarerAndFuck · 11/10/2013 16:27

Poundland have boys Squinkies sets in stock.

Series 1, 2 and 3, you get fourteen Squinkies and two dice and a set of rules to play a complicated game you need good eyesight for.

But seriously, £1 a pack is a bargain.

I might have screeched "Squinkies!" out loud in a bit of a scary voice when I spotted them Blush

Hereshecomesnowsayingyoniyoni · 11/10/2013 16:27

If anyone has any 'one direction' fans to buy for poundland have some great bits in.
Today I got my dd a one direction
Shopping bag
Gel pens
Ballpoint pens
Panini sticker book with 2 packs of stickers
They also had masks and cut out desktop figures and chocolates.
Also my 'Rhianna' perfume came today which is better than I thought it would be.
Still waiting for my free watch,body stuff set and the other set that was free with glamour mag.i had the mag about 2 weeks ago but no free gift yet.

VeeVandTeaDrinkYourBlood · 11/10/2013 16:27

I've just tried H10 for the blazer/bag and it's told me I can't use it, but given me 10% off instead, applied automatically.

ScarerAndFuck · 11/10/2013 16:33

Trixy we picked our Box of Awesome up today as well.

DS was at school so he didn't even get the joy of entering the code in the locker and watching to see which door popped open.

We got a Will Solvit book, two packets of Panini type stickers and a small plastic ball with sweets in it.

And the book had a sticker on it that said "£3.99 buy one get one free on it" and was meant to be a back to school pack so having a book that starts with a boy throwing stink bombs in school and singing "one more day in this dump" was a bit of a surprise Grin

So not all that awesome really. I'd said to DH that if the box was good I would subscribe but I don't think the contents were worth the £6 it would cost to get a box every two months.

VeeVandTeaDrinkYourBlood · 11/10/2013 16:38

My box of awesome is waiting to be picked up too. is it a proper locker then? I was going to pick it up on tues when I go shopping.

LippyDiDooDah · 11/10/2013 16:40

IsThatTrue I also ordered the blazer and 'free' bag and also a pair of pumps and got an email saying that the items may be despatched separately so don't worry. I'm due mine on Tuesday but it could be delivered any time up to 9pm Shock which means I'll be doing 2 school runs with heart in mouth that I've missed them.

Getting worried now that I'm going to have trouble cancelling my 3 magazine subscriptions I've signed up for Sad Got my Rihanna perfume but nothing else (awaiting Body shop stuff from Glamour and the Oasis watch from Hearst).

Ordered and now got the £9.99 Furby from Argos so Thanks to the poster who said about that Smile

pantshavenames · 11/10/2013 16:43

I just had my (boring food) delivery from asda and I asked the delivery guy about the deal last night. He wasn't aware of it specifically but when I mentioned it went 'ooooh, 7 of my 19 deliveries in this slot have been cancelled and they were e voucher ones. He seemed to find it funny...

TooWetToWoo · 11/10/2013 16:44

Boo! Just got the dreaded Asda email Sad

Mipe · 11/10/2013 16:45

Just cancelled my subscription to the DSLR magazine (the one with the free camera bag / gorilla pod) and it was no problem at all, they emailed me back to confirm that I will only get two more magazines and advised me to cancel my direct debit with the bank :).

FarOverTheRainbow · 11/10/2013 16:49

Been to my local tesco and the toy sale wasn't good, they've just refurbished the shop and since there hasn't been many good deals at all, some of the things in the sale are a lot cheaper on their website then in store Sad
