On the twelfth day of christmas my bargain hunters gave to me, a mumsnet blazer and a magazine freebie

[Reastie]

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

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

I bought one of these for my DS from another site Balance Bike

Whoever recommended Neds Leather wristbands, just had one for DH delivered, its fab, thank you

Can anyone please find me a working asos code? I've tried loads but all are invalid.

I think we've all got Christmas cheer, with one exception... And I assumed 'overspill' meant 'interim thread till Reastie's back tomorrow' rather than a thread dividing up chat and bargains.

Anyone know of any good deals on stunt scooters?

Also, anyone watching out for the Christmas films on Movies24? Think they're on Sunday from 3pm.

Well, it has taken me much longer than usual to catch up on today's bargains . Do you gals think M&S will have a 20% off home promotion anytime soon? DM has requested some things from there for xmas...

Did we know it's free delivery on toys r us this weekend?

Hi, can i ask if anyone has any experience of cheap Barbie Steffi dolls? I bought some out of BM Bargains yesterday (a newborn set with pram, cot etc + a horse trailer set) but don't want to open the box to test them out. Are they really flimsy, or just as solid as a Barbie figure?

Sorry in advance for taking up too much of your time/data space

Maybe if mumsnet hq could make a snowflake smiley - snow always sorts things out in christmas movies?

I agree that an overspill thread for tomorrow day is a good idea.

Pinocchios LN my dds used to have loads of Barbies and pretend Barbies some of which were the Steffi dolls they were just as robust imho.Of course this was a few years back but I can't see they would have changed that much,

Toys r us have some quite nice toy kitchens plastic or wooden and half price little tykes

It's not a link as such, but if you don't mind 2nd hand remember to look for scooters on gumtree. I got a micro one for a tenner last week. Would have been £55 new.

Iamsanta GuitarGirl has linked to some cheap cellophane on EBay upthread.

Reastie, I appreciate the change in format as I mostly use my phone app and the thread loads much faster now so for that.

I don't post much on these, not much good at finding bargains first. Other posters are amazing at it I like the banter and the build up and the fact I wasn't the only crazy person starting 6 months beforehand. Isaac has found so many deals on things I never knew I wanted.

Blazer and bag arrived today, pleasantly surprised by how nice they look.

I haven't had my Asda order cancelled yet. Delivery due on Weds so not holding my breath. What a bargain if it does slip through.

I have a £5 off £30 spend single use voucher for Lakeland if anyone needs it.

up to 50% off wow toys I love then and sad my two are a bit too big now. Fabulous toys.

I love this thread, the people and the chat on it.
Think the only rule for the next thread should be " no scrooges allowed"
Now, let's go find more bargains (and bigger houses to put them in)

Thank you guiltyconscience

No need for me to play with test them beforehand now.

I just don't understand vertbaudet

I've put stuff in my basket. From the damned winter collection. It adds on the bakibg set, that I don't really want but doesn't deduct postage or £15

And now ive reregistered they'll send me a rain forests worth of catalogues every day. I had to move house to escape them last time

wraps arms around Isaac = dont go dont change, this is the only place I look fir bargains dont have time to trawl

Was busy entertaining two energetic DC all day

This has been one of my favorite threads for a while now, 'rules'? didn't realise christmas bargain hunting could get so serious ...

Just came on to see if anyone had replied to my Flavourly info request (Thanks Moosey and SpottyT going to check it out now) also to see how the Asda orders were panning out for those who made them and if any of the printer orders had been cancelled.

Terrible with expensive watches, always seem to loose or break them so just bought myself this at the bargainous price of £1.54

The same seller also has these for £1.40 that also get good reviews (seller does have 12% neg for the last 30 day though, we shall see!)

fabulous christmas bedding

IamSanta Festive cellophane a set of 3 rolls for £4.99 from Baker Ross

www.bakerross.co.uk/festive-cellophane-rolls

Moosey and SpottyT is it the £15 plan with the code you stated making it £5 that I'm supposed to be opting for? And is it easy to cancel afterwards? Thanks

Is it safe to come out yet? I was too scared to venture out last night

Amazon have this Merida & Queen Elinor doll set from the film Brave for £14.99 plus 99p delivery. That's for a 2 pack of barbie sized Disney dolls. Best price according to camelcamel and a quick google seems to suggest it's the best price out there. RRP is £34.99.

The next one is from HUKD : box set of 5 Disney Buddies films for £5.55 delivered. Includes the film Santa Buddies for all those looking for Christmassy DVDs. Link to the listing at HUKD and direct link here

newtonupontheheath - a slightly different perspective on the playmobil pirate ship for you; DS was bought one last Christmas and then 2.8 year old DD played very nicely with it, fiddly bits included. Nearly one year on, and she plays with it more than DS and nothing has been lost/broken. She's very grown up for her age though. No way would DS have been allowed near it at the same age!

Rotterwallah - are you sure you have the right discount code on the Vertbaudet order page? Current code 4762 I believe. Sometimes it defaults to a generic code.

Apologies for the mammoth all-in-one post; I'm trying to conserve what's left of this thread!
