elc are really annoying me, im after the big city garage (not the wooden one) and the spiral slide. before their sale the garage was 45 and the slide was 20, they have both increased whilst the sale is on! trying to trick people!

anyone got a code, I've looked but none ate working Hmm

iloveholidays · 19/10/2013 21:43

Sorry Lauren, just found them :)

RhondaJean · 19/10/2013 21:45

Ooh Ive also had my flavourly box and a spicery order through in Thr last day or two. Very impressed with both. If I cancel flavourly can I reorder with other details next month and get a £5 different box do you think?

I'm now making DH a hamper. I hadn't really meant to but I've got loads for it, I'll add a couple of fresh bits and pieces eg cheese and some alcohol and a branded glass, it will be superb.

Lands' end 25% off winter (not sale items I think) & free delivery AWFF13

Sukebind · 19/10/2013 21:52

Not sure whether or not they would still be there, but WHSmiths had several Sylvanian families sets on half-price the other week. In my store they were right down on a small bottom shelf - I nearly missed them.

Iamsanta · 19/10/2013 21:57

Anyone seen any minecraft annuals online on offer? Book people are doing 2 for £6 but all sold out! Grrr any ideas?

Also what are you lovelies buying for your DC that want anything to do with minecraft? I just can't seem to find anything about really.

Ilikesweetpeas · 19/10/2013 22:02

What are Moshi monsters? DD suddenly seems obsessed and I have no idea, there not on TV are they? I know I've heard about them on here

TooWetToWoo · 19/10/2013 22:04

Iamsanta I've got DS1 the annual, a creeper anatomy t-shirt from Argos £11, used the Boots photo mug to do a Minecraft picture with his name £3, got a knitted creeper hat from a FB seller £5 and getting a creeper soft toy from ebay around £7.

Wiifitmama · 19/10/2013 22:07

I saw the Minecraft annuals at WH smith today. All annuals were buy one get one for a pound. I think it was full price at £7 so if you got two then they were £4 each.

Iamsanta · 19/10/2013 22:10

toowet and wii thank you Thanks

Will have a look online now and whsmith first thing in the morning. Sorted! Lol.

SpookyTeacakes · 19/10/2013 22:15

That's what I'm going to try Rhonda Smile

JustasmallGless · 19/10/2013 22:15

There is a house, super Moshi hq, Moshi treehouse

Molten Brown £10 off £20 spend - HOUSE10

Ilikesweetpeas · 19/10/2013 22:22

Justasmall - I don't know, guess it's because she has heard about them at school! But what are they?? I could understand peppa pig, octonauts etc because they were on TV but I just don't understand what these things are. Is it something online, and if so suitable for a 5 yo? I will be near a tesco on Monday so will have a look for the ones you mentioned, hopefully them being from an older series won't matter!

guiltyconscience · 19/10/2013 22:28

Frazzled, tkmax had Orla Kiely boxed sets of edt and body lotion in the most gorgeous bx also edt and shower gel in same gorgeous boxes . They had loads of ok notebooks etc in as well.This was Friday just gone.

Picked up a £110 RRP Filofax for £30 in TK Maxx today for my high flying SIL..... very happy!

creepycadence · 19/10/2013 22:42

Asda had a lovely set of Yankee candles at a fab price - 16 sample size candles for £5. I was after the set mentioned upthread - 2 for £2.50 but couldn't see them anywhere.

Home Bargains had chocolate calendars 89p, cheapest or seen them. Skylanders, Thomas and Peppa Pig.

Also in Home Bargains they had lovely girls hairbands for 69p.

creepycadence · 19/10/2013 22:43

cheapest I've* seen them

RhondaJean · 19/10/2013 22:51

I'm going to home bargains tomorrow - will report back on any finds.

I did get a sound pillow for my 15 yo "niece"s birthday, I got dd1 one last year, they both love them. DDs was from an online shop at £15, they had them in home bargains for £8.99. If they still have them they would be a great gift for any teenager, you plug your phone or mp3 in and it plays the music through the pillow so you hear it when you put your head on it. Ideal for hard to buy for nieces/nephews perhaps?
