Hope this works a bit better and please give me feedback

Mumsnet Christmas Appeal thread if you had any excess gifts you’ve purchased or wanted to use your bargain hunting knowledge to make a mners christmas.

poppy or anyone else that has been to m and s. Did you happen to notice if they had the tins with a bar of chocolate in? They're fab for sewing bits and I'm hoping to get a couple more this year.

ELC half term half price sale has jut started - sorry if already mentioned. Not a huge amount in it but a wooden garage, retro wooden kitchen and a few happyland bits look good.

I'm thinking of making a trip to Dunhelm for the Christmas fleeces, and then onto Home Bargains - what's good in there at the mo? damn you Ikea for promising to build in Calcot and not doing it

I am waiting on joules wellies, body shop gift set, oasis watch and murad set!
Also as for things to go with the ikea kitchen. Wilkos have some good wooden food cheapish. And ikea themselves have fab pots, pans and little play crockery and glasses! They are so cute.

L'Occitane order cancelled. Meh.

Woohoo!! printer says dispatched!

Who was looking for the drum from sainsburys? I'm in my local one and the play and learn mr drum is half price at £9.99.

mama how long did it take for your poster to arrive?

I just received a printer dispatch email, rapidly followed by a cancellation/sorry-for-the-stuff-up email.

Ah well, 'twas nice to dream for a few days!

Reastie yet again.

I just got my marble run from the amazon lightening deals delivered and word of warning to others that bought it - it just has a delivery label slapped over the cellophane. No other packaging, so my 5 year old saw what it was!

I'm pretty new to using amazon but have bought lots this past month and it's all come in brown boxes so was surprised this didn't.

So if your is due keep Smalls from the front door.

ELC half-term toy sale is indeed on!

bemy I got the emergency helicopter duplo from homebargains for £9.99. Its not on their website but I have seen in 2 stores at different ends of the country. Supposedly reduced from £19.99

Alice- about 2 weeks hth

Marks place, thanks Reastie

Not much in the ELC sale (on the website anyway). Harrumph! Will they add more?

the thinkgeek code didn't work for me :( has anyone used it successfully?

Anyone know of any deals on Stompeez slippers? I need a purple monster in size small (child's size 10 ish).

Oh bugger now the elc sale is on and the garage I have been eyeing up is in it. Can I use a birthday code with it? I have just joined the birthday club and might have slightly altered ds birthday to next week.... will that work?

I ordered once each of the printers and I've just got and mail saying one has been dispatched and then another one to say the other printer has been cancelled because of a glitch and they can't fulfill any of the orders. Hoping the other one has been sent though!

I'm going to order the bbc good food subscription, it's £3 for 3 issues so how do I cancel it, will they take the £3 straight away and then I cancel it and I'll still get the other magazine or do I have to wait...? Sorry for the questions I just don't want to get stuck with a subscription

Has anyone seen a walking, fluffy toy dog for under a tenner? I can only find fur-real friends and they are too expensive.

Someone on the other thread wanted a dinosaur scene set.

We have a branch of Toy Town near us and they had one in store today.

It's like a volcano leading down to a lake with a lot of rocks and trees and you get a set of plastic dinosaurs to use with it. Think it was £19.99 but cannot remember the brand name.

Was in quite a big box, not Duplo or Playmobil.

DD has decided she would like a lie down pram from Santa, I know there was loads of chat about prams a few threads ago, can anyone remember the most bargainous? The best I can see is the silvercross ranger on amazon for £29.99. Does anyone have any better ideas?

I also got my open university poster today :) along with lots of other stuff

Has anyone else got the Tesco Christmas gift guide? I've just been having a quick flick through and there's some good stuff in there.

I came across a couple of niceish bracelet watches cheaply on Amazon earlier- this one's £4.41 and this one is £3.47

Do you know what I love but dh hates about this thread? I now know off by heart all the debit card details so I don't even have to get off my bum to order stuff anymore! very dangerous!

Thanks Reastie

My L'occitane order also cancelled. Ah well, can put that money towards something else.

Anyone bought an Asda wooden kitchen last year? Reduced to £35 and I really like it. We've moved furniture around and suddenly have room for one. DC would love it. And hopefully will help with boredom on rainy days
