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?

at all the comments about DSIS! She currently has a Cliff calendar Bea it's an in-joke between her and her uni friends. She is 7 months pg so am blaming her bluntness on that. I'm tempted to get T-Shirts done for the DC saying Love you Auntie and have a calendar done of that to make her feel guilty!

For male stocking fillers under a fiver, how about a USB flash drive - somewhere like play.com or 7dayshop.com have them starting under a fiver - play had some that were in the shape of a Christmas tree if you want a tacky Christmas themed one. Play also has some quite nice men's tshirts for under a fiver - just go to the men's Tshirt section and sort by price low to high. They've added a load of cheap plain tshirts so yo might have to get 5 or 6 pages in but around the fiver mark the had some with like an old style space invader, a camper van or evolution of a robot pictures.

Seven day shop also often has some great gadget things - it's worth looking through their gadget section and clearance section.

Another thing to do is get a toy car of something that would be his dream car. Then also add a bottle of baby bio and modify the label to make it applicable to cars too. (dh has always wants a camper van and this is the only way I've managed to get him one and if he complains it's not a real one I just point out he obviously didn't grow it right! .

Sorry to be a pain but I can't find the Bear Grylls book deal (despite looking for ages!) - does anyone know what it was? Was it £10 from Amazon?

hi 3bunnies :) what is AIBU??

Has anyone spotted a decent curry recipe type book about under £5 ideally. Went RL shopping yesterday and saw one in the works but stupidly didnt pick it up and its not on their website. Grr.

Thanks moosey one of those George books is £8 alone on amazon.

Cupcake was it this ?

Thisismenow, I'm not sure - that's the one I could find too. I know someone mentioned a deal up thread but I can't remember what it was. That half price one is pretty good but don't want to order it if there was a better deal somewhere

Anyone seen children's personalised aprons anywhere that don't cost loads?

Trying to fine the £15 off £25 isme code. Has anyone used it recently?

I can recommend this curry book. I have seen it int he works fro 2.99. It's on their website for more than that bu tI think you'd get it cheaper in store.

Coveredinweetabix on the A33 there is a lovely new TK Maxx which is a million times better than the one in the Broad Street Manky Mall, next door to that is the new Smyths toy store. Once you are done there, back in the car down the A33 stick to the left hand side, when you see the BP petrol station you want to head towards that and turn left directly after it, that will take you into the Home Bargains / Matalan car park. And once you are done there you can easily get to the Oracle car park and carry on your shopping. There is B&M store too but its on the Oxford Road and I cant be held responsible for directions to there!!!!

Posted on MSE was these Skylander soft toys that look like they make noises by remote control
