Frosty just use normal chocolate with a small glug of vegetable oil in with it - far cheaper and tastes better!

[SpookyTeacakes]

Yay moosey!

I'm also interested in what ikea has Christmas wise....

[frosty21]

Great tip - thanks RockChick!

[MistressIggi]

Asda kitchen looks lovely, wish they'd do them in more neutral colours though (have never seen a kitchen in rl that was pink!). It hits home how small our space is, as I can't find a wall with a measly 75cm spare to put it on [small] Not a massive problem I know, but still feel the dcs are missing out somehow!

[SpookyTeacakes]

I agree about it being pink, it's the only thing I don't like about it!

[ValiumQueen]

I am now craving Ikea too.

[olivo]

Blimey, can't keep up!

Just wanted to say thanks to catamongthepigeons for the IKEA tip. I will definitely go, especially if there is a sainbury nearby. Thank you! I hope the trip comes off!

Off to read the rest of the thread now.

Ikea had beautiful Xmas decs, though not cheap. I think they would last though! They also had advent calanders on the shape of a Xmas tree or shape of a Santa with little drawers in for £5. They was a decent size and made of strong cardboard. Would last a few years I reckon.they also had a huge one of these on offer at £15 iirc. Lots of thing I can't really remember deffo worth a visit!
Oh and gingerbread house kit £2.45.
I didn't buy three, oh no not me

[AliceinSlumberland]

Well I feel AWFUL, have just been in asda and bought things that were FULL PRICE with no voucher codes or anything. I now have the guilt :(

Got MIL a dressing gown for 16 pounds, very cute to be fair.

[Kyrptonite]

Ooooh I'm going to Ikea on Thursday. Thanks to this thread I now just have to get 3 leapster explorer games, a puppet theatre and a dolls house and the DCs are sorted!

[CoffeeOne]

Mipe I got that response too, and then later got another email stating about sending the gifts back yadda yadda. Will be interested to see if you hear anything else from them. Please keep us updated.

[avalu]

Has anyone got a spare elc bday code please?x

[LaTrucha]

We have a tiny house. I held off buying a kitchen until DD was 5 because of it. I really wish I'd done it sooner. I also bought enamel pans, Duplo Creative cakes, Jellycat oven gloves and tray and an Emma Bridgewater teas set to go with it ....

ALL OF WHICH I LOVE

[IsaacCox]

Thanks Spooky :) I love the ikea gingerbread houses so much so, last year I ate one without even attempting to construct it

[SpookyPumpkins]

That's ok Isaac did you just squeeze the icing straight into your mouth after

[guiltyconscience]

Alice! Asda usually do 20 % off their nightwear before Xmas!Does anyone remember this happening from previous years . Oh yes and welcome back Isacc my dear good to see you back.

[Iamsanta]

Is it Aldi's or lidl's that sell the gingerbreads house that you DIY?

[Joycey29]

[iloveholidays]

Has anyone been into hobbycraft and used their 15% off voucher with the 3 for 2? Says not to combine offers, but it's working online but I'd rather go instore and use if I can.

Thanks

[FarOverTheRainbow]

Does anyone know if I order the bbc food magazine when I would be able to cancel it and still get all 3 magazines?

[MooseyMoo]

avalu did my Elc code not work then?

[MistressIggi]

LaTrucha - I have ds's and I fear if I wait till 5 he will be like his brother, and turn his nose up at such things! (Though I know he's play with it too given half a chance). Nursery seemed to make him very aware of what was for girls and what was for boys
My printer now shows as dispatched, despite the cancellation email. I wonder what happens if it does actually arrive?
Quite a bit of half-price Happyland at ELC. Any birthday codes would be greatly received! (Joining the queue)

[IsaacCox]

Haha Spooky, I would have done if there were any!

ilove where is the Hobbycraft voucher please? I'm going on Saturday to buy a few squillion bits, so a voucher would be good :)
