The bargain thread where we all get back to lovely christmas cheer

[Reastie]

And that thread title's an order!

Thread 13 now, unlucky for some but hopefully lucky for us.

Keeping things same as last thread - 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).

Second message hasn't been updated with new offers from last thread as you are too chatty for me, will do better next time.

Blazer arrived - really pleased! Thanks!
Pillow Pets at Amazon that are £10 now include a much wider range!
Ocado have some good deals on toys - got playmobil egg with character in for a couple of quid!

notso I signed up with my email and then dp's email. If you're gifting it I would do the beer52 one too as they will go really well together

Of all you who get your post so early! Not that expecting anything now I don't think

alice playmobil pool with slide £22
I paid £30 for this last christmas and it has been played with lots by DS but it's always the first thing my friends little girl goes to when she is here to play.

Makes a bloody mess though!

And you will be forever putting it back together every five minutes after they have pulled it apart.

Paymobil gets raved about but IME it spends most of its time in bits waiting for a grown up to repair.

The pool frosty? We haven't had any major incidents with it but I don't normally put that much water in ;)
It's actually £21 too :)

DH is going out this morning, thus avoiding the postman

Picked up my ASDA bargain cook stuff yesterday from their sale - scales, measuring cups, cutters to make a baking set for DD. Just waiting for my bargain Newitts football stuff for DS.

Re Thorntons - I think Asda/Tesco are cheaper if there aren't any offers on. The hampers are really worth it at 50% off though. Asda had some mint collection boxes at £5 each or 3 for a tenner but not a single Terrys orange in the whole shop the fuckers

Nice stuff on Zulily today, including Brio.

Morning everyone. I still haven't had a cancellation email for the printer so I'm still hopeful. They are back up in price now though.

The water ultimately ends up on the floor whoneedstosleep

Just popping in to say that Asda have 3 for £16 on all Skylanders. Even the Giants who are £13 each normally. I got them in store, not sure if they are online.

Talking of Thortons, I want a white chocolate snowdog. Thortons show one in the picture but don't actually have it for sale. Anyone know if you can buy them and where from?

Ditto the Playmobil. We had the castle - which a DC could not put together and required an adult and some instructions. And the pirate ship, which fell apart a lot. So they both got ebayed. Then we had the plane and the recycling truck - which were huge and didn't come to bits to put away but did when being played with

Now we just have the figures and a few motorbikes - and they play with them as much. Just with a duplo or lego castle.

Could someone post if they see any good discounts on winter hats and gloves for children please

Frisky - yy to lego. I have given up on playmobil (we also have the plane which never seems to have its wings on ) and am slowly building up a lego collection.

Seems a far better use of money.

Thanks Spooky, am going to do DH's Email then and maybe DD, DM andDSIS What did you get in the beer52?

Just got 4 big parcels from the worlds most miserable postman, 2 yo DS2 was excited to see Pat but he was smoking a fag and just dumped the boxes in the porch saying "spending hubby's money again are we?" DS2 bellowed "YOUR NOT PAT" after him

Ah now she has Lego friends sets, perhaps it would be better to build on those? I know she'd love that waterslide set though as she was after the pool Lego set last year.

Notso! I just got the started pack through groupon. It's four beers and a pack of olives. I haven't really looked at them though as they're packed tightly in a box.

I'm only just starting my Christmas shopping but it looks like you ladies have found some fabulous bargains again this year.
I don't suppose anyone has seen any bargain play houses. I ideally want a little tikes one as the look quite robust. I was hoping they would be a bit cheaper in the winter but so far no luck.

Frosty I saw the Chocolate SnowDog in either Morrisons, Asda Living or Wilkinsons [vague] I think it was Wilkinsons though.
Gutted to hear bad reviews about PlayMobile, Ds2 is getting the camper van, he will be 3 a fortnight before Christmas and loves the Rosie's World one from ELC but DH said it was too pink so though PlayMobile was a good alternative.

I would buy the lego pool then. Her mum will thank you for it in the long run [win]

Frisky you can get the snowman holding the snowdog? £4 at asda £6 at thorn tons. Asda def cheaper for thorntns stuff by about a third.

It is free delivery weekend at toys r us.

Thanks Notso . Some people really love playmobil - maybe you will be one of them!

Or the Campervan! Always get rave reviews from Playmobilholics!

IIRC it's down to about £25 in most places (must mean they are bringing out a new one)
