Lego Creator log cabin dropped to £15.33 on Amazon.

Supermario in my opinion Lego is always a winner. They never seem to grow out of it. And if they do, the resale value is great.

siblingrevelry - that looks good -not sure 8yo boy would wear it 'outside' but I'm sure he would love it when none of his critical friend are watching! Thank you

I was thinking that l. The turtle pizza parlour looks pants :/

Pogo, I got the snitch necklace, it came very quickly, and is more solid than I thought it would be!

Dandelion I really want that lego log cabin. Sadly my dc wouldn't!

Fudgy we bought the ikea poang for our eldest, and three children later it's been sat in the room as a clothes rack! For some reason mine could never get on with it - they always needed help getting in as it tips forward until their weight is on the back (so when they're climbing into it), and once in they never stayed for long.

To be honest, my mom has a full size one and I don't find it particularly comfortable either (maybe it's the wooden arms), so it's obviously genetic!

Argos have some half price hot wheels sets

Had a Cath Kidston catalogue through. 15% off when you spend £30 in store or online. Code TREAT13.

Also they have 10% all year round for students. Don't know if they stack though.

Sorry the above is an advent calendar :)

Fudgey we don't have it but DS2 covets the poang everytime we go to Ikea! He is 2.10 but tall wearing 3-4 clothes and fits it nicely. DS3 is 18 months and can also get in and out easily too.

it must be genetic siblingrevelry because I love the full size Poang! I was gutted when we had to get rid of ours.

Octonauts Gup F Build-a-Gup £11.99 @ Amazon

All Hama beads are the same size, it's just the boards that differ. We have a mixture of boards and DD finds the complicated shape ones (like princess, bunny, horse) the hardest to do and least interesting long term.

So a big square one you can make your own designs plus maybe smaller simple shapes like star, heart, circle (stripes of these look very nice) would be my suggestion.

comeandgo considering my lack of basic computer skills I don't think I'm doing too badly. I have a macbook and the F buttons do different things on my computer to windows so excuse my ignorance.

for all the help with the codes etc, will try to wade through them DD permitting.

I'm still waiting on my second flavourly box, done in DHs details. Did itover the week end and thought it would have come already.

Ihatethecold it's a box of lovely foodie bits.

Firstly thanks to Reastie. I have never had so much fun as a result of a thread. Work colleagues think I am a super bargain hunter - if only they knew it was down to you lot!

I went real life shopping - B&M had Peppa Pig stuff in - couldn't resist:

This playhouse was £14.99

This dance studio was £9.99

Plus, dressing table, desk, hide & seek game, jigsaws, medical case, jewellery case, toothbrushes, slipper socks.........

Also, I have a 25% off ELC code if anyone wants it :)

That's a good idea pachacuti I'm not sure why I didn't think of it. It's Sonic and the lost world he's after. I'll check eBay out!

pogosticks you could be me we've got him a tablet for his main gift and little bits and bobs so feel like he's got enough. I think I'm going to wait till early December and see if he mentions the Skylanders anymore and if so I'll use my clubcard vouchers. Will keep my eyes open for bargains in the meantime so will give you a shout if I find anything! X

Thanks reastie
