18th 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).

Apologies that the long code list isn't fully updated from the last thread - I've been ill and haven't been able to keep up. If there's anything good which I can add to the next OP please will you fill me in and I'll add it? Thanks

Not totally sure what a boot bag is but if this would suit they have a lovely pink one:

www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271217067977 it's £3.79 but from Hong Kong so you'd need to order soon.

www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300988441404 similar but uk

item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?sbk=1&nav=SEARCH&itemId=200900415598. Pale pink one, £1.79.

AliceinSlumberland · 26/10/2013 12:22

That was for ClaimedbyMe sorry.

Oreocrumbs · 26/10/2013 12:37

For a pink boot bag, try looking at ballet shoes bags - would something like this do?

izzybizzybuzzybees · 26/10/2013 12:37

Thanks to whoever linked to the bigjigs puppet theatre on amazon. Have bought that, a chalkboard (for show times!) and some glove puppets from ikea. With the finger puppets I bought from on earlier thread that is a fantastic puppet show package for under £30. not that the girls needed anymore toys but that's not the point

Oreocrumbs · 26/10/2013 12:42

Moshi monsters micro agvent calendar 2013 Someone asked about this a couple of days threads ago, looking for a price below £18 iirc. It's £12.95 on amazon today.

Rubybrazilianwax · 26/10/2013 13:37

bushmillsandice what are your nephews into? Do they play any sports? My ds is 11 and still loves lego, you can get more technichal little sets for that age. A nice chess set is also good for that age, even if they don't play already it's something that a lot of boys start to take an interest in

Rubybrazilianwax · 26/10/2013 13:41

My minecraft book came today and there was a voucher for naked wines in it. Its for £60 off a case of wine priced £99 or more. I don't need it so if anyone wants the code pm me. It must be claimed in 30 days

angelabbie · 26/10/2013 13:49

Hit Ikea last night and returned with one large goat, one small goat and some lovely drinking glasses. My husband is swedish and the goats are very typical for christmas decoration. They are not my taste but happy to give hubby a little bit of nostalgia. Also my DS 2.8 keeps trying to ride on the large one which is hysterical but leaves little bits of goat all over the place.

Got my wellies yesterday so they are still being sent out.

Crayola Twistables half price at Argos £7.50
www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/9060357.htm

Managed to convince DH to a trip to IKEA tomorrow, recommendations for Christmas buys and things for DD who's 2 (obviously the oat is on my list!)

JerseySpud · 26/10/2013 13:57

ARGH!! I didn't need anymore and yet i find myself ordering Dear Zoo for £1.50 off amazon, two lego duplo sets (total £19)

and then...AND THEN!

I log onto here to find that bloody doll which only costs ,e £4.99 when its back in stock (hello from VAT free land) so i of course HAD to order another book to get that.

I am doomed. DOOMED!

creepycadence · 26/10/2013 13:59

Does anyone know if Argos are doing another 3 for 2 on toys before Christmas? Not sure whether to grab what I want now in case they run out of stock or wait for the 3 for 2. I'm sure I read on one of the threads that it was starting today but I can't see anything online.

Also, does anyone know if they've started the toy exchange yet?

ClaimedByMe · 26/10/2013 14:05

Oohh thank you for the boot bag suggestions, sadly my laptop couldn't take the Christmas shopping strain and has died just went off, I still have the iPad but it's no good for shopping :(

Anyone know when Amazon black Friday is?

JerseySpud · 26/10/2013 14:05

AChristmassyJerseySpud · 26/10/2013 14:07

Early Learning Centre are doing free standard delivery with all telephone orders at the moment.

I wasn't sure they would accept the Birthday code as I know they will only let you use it on full price items on store and I was ordering the half price Wooden Garage - they let me use it no problems though Smile

The number is 0871 231 3511 or if you are a cheapskate like me don't want to pay for an 0871 call I got straight through on 0161 332 7029

snowballinafryingpan · 26/10/2013 14:38

I'm de-lurking seeing as the clock changes this weekend which means it starts feeling wintry and christmas is in the air.
