Oh good lord I felt completely out of the loop vis a vis John lewis ad but have now looked on ebay!! Someone is selling the 2 for £150!! I would so slap mine on eBay if I had them..
Thank you for the moleskin link, my office closed on Friday so I now have a garden to renovate and an extension to build (it appears I'm unemployable Sad) so that makes me feel better.

Thought we were done buying stuff, nearly everything wrapped etc - then FIL decided he wants us to get DD an 'educational toy'. even though they are all bloody educational when you're 3 and we have a million puzzles etc - so we are in ELC and they have the Kurio kids tablet for £59 with the 20% discount - from £150. Think it's a good deal - he put in £40 and we used a bit more xmas money from her great grandad. She has been spoilt rotten. So feeling guilty for our excess, I gave a homeless bloke a fiver on the way home. Didn't help with the guilt much though!

Hope she likes it, mixed reviews but seems good for a kids tablet, loads of parental controls, can be used without internet at all.

My very last thing to buy is a skin for an xbox. I have tried to find out if I am looking for the right thing - basically, my friends kid is getting Xbox live, does anyone know if they are the same controllers as the 360? are they a different shape? worried about getting the wrong thing!

RhondaJean · 15/12/2013 20:00

I've been in home bargains today and they have some annuals, including Moshi monsters, for 99p each.

SolidGold · 15/12/2013 20:21

I've had two requests for the Moshi stuff, so I'll split them. TheLady, can you pm me your address and I'll pop them in the post.

mooseymoo - how did you get both codes and cashback to work on the gardening set? I could only get ship2013 to work and when i went through quidco I couldn't find the set

CatAmongThePigeons · 15/12/2013 20:26

MissMakes Xbox live is the the online side to the Xbox stuff, the XboxOne is the new console and the controllers are different, sadly.

I have the twitch, I need to buy ALL the things

Passthecake30 · 15/12/2013 20:29

I have the twitch too...ds has just announced he needs an ipad, skylanders swap force and a ds?

Omg. I have explained that Santa may have wrapped everything already (and then hit amazon for skylanders Blush)

DrankSangriaInThePark · 15/12/2013 20:33

janx, I didn't manage to get the 20% code to work, but only spent £3.50 including delivery!

Ooooh, taffeta, perhaps my arriving-in-January kitten should have a stocking!

InMySpareTime · 15/12/2013 20:40

I feel like an interloper on this thread, I bought all presents weeks, if not months ago, and wrapped everything last week.
Not a twitch in sight, though I still sit by the letterbox waiting for delivery of my books (books I wrote, not just books I ordered), so I will at last be able to relax and enjoy Christmas.

Auntiebaba · 15/12/2013 20:52

Playmobil Santa and Snowman £2.96, cheapest I've seen. Free delivery with toys r us too until the 18th I think. If you're spending over £30 there's still a valid £5 off code around too.

iheartdusty · 15/12/2013 20:54

25% off everything on ASOS, today only (some brands excluded)

neddle · 15/12/2013 20:57

I'm still looking for a few things and need to go real life shopping tomorrow Shock.

Anyone seen some socks for a size 1 5yo boy? Not necessarily a character, but something interesting. A set of three or five maybe?

Headphones for same 5yo boy. To use with a Leappad, he likes camouflage print things, but they don't have to be like that.

My brother wants a camera for his new ps4 Hmm but they're pricey - anyone seen a bargain?

Thanks.

missmakesstuff · 15/12/2013 20:59

Cat thanks for that, bugger! I really do not know what else to get him, I have already got him a small ninja bunny bag and some fingerlights, he is 12, no idea if he will like them or not!

need to add something small and or bargainous, maybe Xbox related. really clueless. Do not want this to be the present that breaks me!

LittleTownOfBOOTHSlehem · 15/12/2013 21:08

Does anyone know any uniqlo discount codes?
Sorry if it's been asked before

ChestnutsroastingintheFireligh · 15/12/2013 21:15

Thank you so much for the mountain warehouse code. I've just kitted ds out for his outdoor activity week in the new year.

The friends code brought up a name so thank you to the originator.

cuddlymoomoo · 15/12/2013 22:00

I think the Uniqlo ones have all expired LittleTown but they have free next day delivery on just now over £50, until Tuesday IIRC.

cuddlymoomoo · 15/12/2013 22:02

Who was after Sex & the City DVD set? Not a direct place to send you as such, but I'm always seeing those on my local Facebay site (where you will get unbelievable bargains - especially now when people are trying to make a bit of cash for their twitches too!). Lots of new stuff as I think they're all finding their present stash from last year that hasn't been use dup Grin.

NotSoNewNow · 15/12/2013 22:20

Or cuddly I wasn't the original but would love a box set of sitc. Can you give directions to where to find a bargin? Don't want to spent the £28 which seems to be the average.

NotSoNewNow · 15/12/2013 22:20

Ow! Not or... Blush

3bunnies · 15/12/2013 22:21

needle primark had some socks which have sharks, tigers and crocodiles on so it looks as if the animal is biting the foot of the child. Ds loves his.

FlatAsSantasSacks · 15/12/2013 22:32

Not sure if its been mentioned but I wanted a pandora bracelet for my DD but didn't want her to lose it let alone pay out for something she would eventually grow out of.

So whilst looking at amazon I've come across faux pandora bracelets and charms. I got a silver plated one for £1.99 and a pink leather pandora style for £3.99. I've picked up charms from 99p - £3.99 which was a lovely mother and daughter one that we have half each of Smile

Just type in girls pandora and it all comes up.

FionasFatFairy · 15/12/2013 23:24

Needle, I can't help with the socks but I am Xmas Shock at a 5yo with size 1 feet. My 9.4 DS takes a 1 (but 6.9 yo DD1 is a 12.5!)

Crazdsky · 16/12/2013 01:40

Would anyone know or have a discount code for elc? Many thanks Xmas Smile

MooseyMoo · 16/12/2013 06:32

janx sorry! went to bed early last night. Not sure why they're not both working, I paid £11 something for the gardening set and just had £2 tracked by Quidco. I did lose the free delivery code at one point and had to remove everything from basket and start again.

Amazon have some Brio reduced, I just bought beginner expansion pack for £9.88 and mechanical turntable for just over £6.

I've signed up for Amazon Prime to get next day delivery. Must remember to cancel!
