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.

notso log in, go into your orders, it will show the box they've sent and at the end there's a 'amend/cancel orders' (or something of that ilk) press that and you can unsubscribe there. Really easy.

Reastie this thread is ab fab, its a lovely place to hang out and chat and its lovely helping people find just what they're looking for and being helped in return. Know what you mean about the fuzzy warm feeling Smile

Reastie I am also reading the thread and I think you and everyone how has posted are doing a fantastic job please keep it up xx

I got a rocking horse of amazon for £30 and it should have been £80. I cant link as im on my phone but its worth having a look xx

98percentchocolate · 13/10/2013 18:58

Reastie (you shall be known as Mother Santa henceforth), you've saved me so much money - Christmas was going to be awful this year but not anymore. Thank you so much xxx

VoodooHexDoll · 13/10/2013 18:58

*who not how

iloveholidays · 13/10/2013 18:58

reastie this thread is amazing, feel like I know loads of you, quite funny really. I have to say it's making sure I ensure my children have the best memories of Christmas growing up. I admit I go completely overboard but hey Ho it's only once a year and thanks to this thread I've managed to buy some amazing presents this year.

am about to buy some pjs full price at matalan which is making me a bit Angry Grin

98percentchocolate · 13/10/2013 19:00

If anyone knows a budding photographer with an iphone then this is a great gift and only £6.49 delivered.

dementedma · 13/10/2013 19:04

I am listing everything I buy and how much I save. I have saved over £150 so far thanks to this thread and also got some great ideas.

NannyPlumForPM · 13/10/2013 19:04

Not christmas Bavarian thread Blush Christmas bargain thread

GlitterFingers · 13/10/2013 19:06

I'm not sure who it was who was after the sylvanian family car and caravan I'm pretty sure I saw one in tk maxx for £24.99 I visit two in a day and they had loads of sylvanian stuff Smile

Pumpkintopf · 13/10/2013 19:08

Oh Nannyplum that's a shame, I liked the sound of a Christmas Bavarian thread, was going to pop off and try to find it...

98percent that camera lens set looks a great idea, might get one for DH - have you got one? Is it as good as it looks?

janx · 13/10/2013 19:11

Bullet - what about
Subscription to Empire film magazine
A lovely day out with his sister!
Tripod for iPhone (if he has one!)
Voucher for iTunes
Set of good headphones
Trendy t- shirt

Mipe · 13/10/2013 19:11

Bullet - if he likes cooking, the Spicery do a Big Night In box for £10 that looks good! Or if he has a garden (or balcony) I would recommend a bee hotel £6 from Amazon and a packet of bee friendly flower seeds (can give links if you need them) :).

janx · 13/10/2013 19:14

Oh mipe I fancy a bee hotel - can you post the link

Afrodizzywonders · 13/10/2013 19:14

Delurking!

40% off these bath paints on amazon rub a dub paints in a tub £7.83 from £14
make a nice fun bath time prezzie.

RhondaJean · 13/10/2013 19:15

The benefit one sounds fab but £50 is a bit steep for an advent calendar!
unless it's for me

I got my 9yo Thr snowman and snowdog one from thorntons today and it's lovely but I'd like something a wee bit different for the 14 yo.

RhondaJean · 13/10/2013 19:16

I'm not sure if I have saved or spent more with this thread! Grin

TwerkingNinetoFive · 13/10/2013 19:21

Rhoda why don't you get a cloth one from tk Maxx or somewhere else cheap and put some celebrations in some pockets and maybe a few bits of cheap nail varnish etc in others.

Oreocrumbs · 13/10/2013 19:30

See if I was a normal person I would have saved a fortune because of these threads.

As it is, I am easily led and a sheep it has transpired. So I've spent a bloomin' fortune Grin.

I do love them though Wine all round.

RhondaJean · 13/10/2013 19:31

That's a good idea twerking.

Right word on hduk the street is that the sainsburys toy sale will start on the 23rd.

It wasn't as good last year and I have bought all dd2s presents already this year so I must stay away...

AnneOfCleavage · 13/10/2013 19:31

Arrggh - how is this thread nearly half full in only a weekend!! Shock

Received my The hut order yesterday instead of next Tuesday as stated so chuffed with that. The Jacket (the stripy one) was not as nice as I had hoped as the material was nylony and the sleeves very tight and it just doesn't sit right. I love the free bag and I also ordered some shoes which are too big so a bit gutted actually. Not sure how to return or if it'll cost me more than I paid.

Pleased with my furby though which DD will love.

hate bath paints as a bugger to clean off once dried but the kids love them

PoppyWearer · 13/10/2013 19:32

I will have saved a fortune if (and only if) I can spread my purchases over the next 3 years of birthdays and Christmasses and not buy another present in the meantime. Wink

macandcheesewithbaconbits · 13/10/2013 19:33

Where is the cheapest place to buy duplo?

frosty21 · 13/10/2013 19:33

I love that the girl in the picture has drawn nice clear pictures when in reality you know it will end in a big murky mess Grin
