Cambridge Satchel Company satchel in blue or coral only £65.95 on ASOS using Van's code.

I would like to buy the playmobile nativity set and wise men. my budget is £30 For both, I am so lost as to how you are all finding such amazing offers, can anyone help me?

It would be great to get something else for free as well?

I noticed someone had linked to this doctors set earlier -

www.amazon.co.uk/Peterkin-4407-Medical-Carrycase/dp/B000RPDPSC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1382553719&sr=8-1&keywords=doctors+kit

You can actually buy this in Wilkinsons at the moment for £7 - sorry if its already been mentioned, haven't looked at the last couple of pages of the thread yet

Thanks van I've just ordered a dress for my friend. It was £45 in oasis and I've just got it for £21! Ive seen a necklace to go with it but its only on oasis' own website and I refuse to pay delivery so if anyone has a free delivery code for oasis it would be much appreciated.

I love that I've found others that love both bargains and Christmas as much as I do

Reastie I hope you're feeling better today
Did someone say there's another 25% off tu soon?

Thanks for the ice grippers idea. I managed to resist the money boxes last night must stop buying things just because they are a bargain

Well, I'm well on track to have all our Christmas shopping bought and wrapped before our very manic December starts. Largely thanks to this thread and the lovely people who post on it

I have some playmobil furniture sets that I need to complete DD's present. Any ideas where to look? I'm tracking them on camelcamel, have phoned Amazon to ask about their damaged box sales and have looked on eBay (I'm quite happy to buy used, but they seem to go for the same price as new!) What I really need is a 3 for 2 offer.

*that should be; I have phoned Playmobil to ask about their damaged box sales

notso VanVleck I actually love you, I've been looking for an ASOS code for ages


Glad to finally been able to post something someone needs.

Is it wrong that the my little pony train reminds me of Isaac? (As she linked it originally aaaages ago)

I just went back to Sainsburys and they have restocked and some toys that weren't there yesterday. Some I've never seen in my local store before.

Yes thisisme Tu Clothing 25% off sale starts 29th Oct (when the toy sales finishes). I expect soon after there will be 3 for 2 on their Christmas gifts too.

Whatareyou I got the cheaper smaller nativity set from Amazon yesterday for £8.89 plus the wise men for £9. So just under £18 for both delivered. They are still on at that price. The bigger nativity is £24.54. I considered using my tesco vouchers in the boost that starts Monday, but their items are £8 more to start with.

Particularly for those who bought the furby and are looking for something small to accompany it (or for those whose DC want one but aren't getting one ) Home Bargains had really cute tins of jelly beans with a furby with googley eyes (the ones used in arts and crafts) on the front for 89p didn't buy any as don't have furby mad DC but they looked good.

caveman (hope I've got your NN right) for the heads up on the reduced Holztiger on Amazon. I got the seal with the ball on it's nose for DS2, he's going to love it!

Re Printer
Amazon emailed me yesterday asking for feedback (seemingly on the sellers behalf ) I emailed them complaing about this and informed them that I had as yet not received my item. They emailed this morning letting me know that they have emailed the seller on my behalf. I am now waiting to here from the seller. Anyone else?

Not Christmassy but Evans has a flash 25% off sale online tonight from 5 to midnight! Might help if you're looking for coats and boots for winter.

Also just seen an email from Yellow Moon and they have a 50% off sale on their Christmas Crafts.

Email was sent yesterday so apologies if someone has already posted it.

I have internet again I've missed this thread can't keep up on my phone.

My printer hasn't arrived I did get a dispatch email but nothing, anyone gets? If not has anyone complained?

I popped to sainsburys but the one I'm close to is a small one so wasn't very good and I didn't wanna drive to the other side of town to the large one. Anyone heard anymore about the argos 3for2

I'm going to complain about the printer. My email says they had a technical issue with the pricing. Not sure how that translates to keeping my money for almost two weeks and not communicating at all.

Ever so slightly off topic, but can anyone recommend a good children's picture book about the nativity and/or a good DVD? DC are 3 and 5.

I went to a church school and was a bit surprised how light DS and DD's state primary school is on nativity-related Christmas activities (as in, DS did nothing that wasn't Father Christmas or Scrooge related last year!) We are a household of agnostics, so something that does not assume a very in depth knowledge of the Christian faith would be ideal.

Amazon are not bothered by the complaints.

They emailed me back saying they would pass my email on to the investigation team to make sure the buyer wasn't breaking any rules.

They understood that this would make me wary of buying from them in the future.

That was it.

Sainsbury toy sale quite good for me. Well at least it must have been, have left £100 lighter in the pocket!!

This or this might be good for your younger one NeverQuiteSure

If you want inspiration a Christian bookshop or one at a local church might be worth a browse.

Yesterday I saw the peppa pig Ferris wheel for £10 and some fair ground figures for around £3, I think they had a few beenies too but no big items, they had 2 happy land sets, quite big boxes but can't remember what they were or price ( one was a girls set I think ).
