I didn't even realise the last thread was nearly at the end Blush

As usual I'll stick the long OP in the next message, but haven't been so diligent about keeping it updated since it's so close to Christmas and it's all slowed down, sorry.

So the dvd triple set I bought as a last minute extra gift fot my nieces and I wish I hadn't bothered - I paid extra to have it delivered yesterday and I've just called Amazon as it left the depot at 9am yesterday morning to be told it will arrive at the amazon locker tomorrow morning! So apparently TNT are delivering tomorrow and my local supermarket is open...

Can someone help please - have found some bits for dd2s birthday on sports direct site around £20 mark - stuff either not in my local store or cheaper online. However I'm hovering over the order button as it would kill me to pay 4.99 for postage.. is there anyway around it? can't seem to find any free delivery codes?

Rosvita · 24/12/2013 12:34

Oops just twitched about bought the ultimate dream castle for £74.99 in boots sale rrp £199.99.I had been after an ultimate dream castle all year for dd to open tomorrow without wanting to pay an extortionate price and after a lot a hoohaa involving an ebay debacle managed to get one of the older versions for a bargain £20 although it has a few little bits broken on it and some of the accessories missing.so she has this one I open tomorrow then I will replace it with the newer one later in the year (perhaps her birthday).not entirely warranted purchase but couldn't resist and also the new one has a lovely magic mirror app which works with the newer version.

CantaSlaus · 24/12/2013 12:51

Oh ffs! I hate you lot I have no will power! Why did I have to look at the boots website?!

I have now spent £75 on clothes for dd in the last 2 days! Oh well it's not like she doesn't need the next two sizes up. And it's better than full price!

Rosvita · 24/12/2013 13:11

cantaslaus tell me about it -just bought the wellies too!been after wellies for ages wanted hunter wellies but too many people wearing them and thought I'd try not to be a sheep this time thanks for the bargain milk -just over £16 with the 20% off.

SomePeopleNeedHelp · 24/12/2013 14:23

Giving up on Boots, nearly everything is out of stock. You click Add Basket and hey presto that is out of stock too and takes you back to the homepage.

ValiumQueen · 24/12/2013 14:36

I have given up with Boots too. Grr.

500internalerror · 24/12/2013 14:54

I got my boots bits at 6am, but still missed the best bits Hmm

Waitrose have some gifts reduced and still in 3for 2. It's hell in there though!

HermioneWeasley · 24/12/2013 15:31

Just ordered a load of things in the ELC sale. DC2 has started school so is getting lots of invites to soft play parties etc so some bargainous pre planning there.

Mama1980 · 24/12/2013 16:17

LaTrucha · 24/12/2013 18:35

Oooo OOO ooo Reindeer food out, drink and a mince pie for Santa, goose is defrosting, kids are watching Polar Express. Love it. It's nearly Christmas!

Have a brilliant time everyone. Enjoy all your lovely preparations and I will see you next year!

ReastieYuleANBU · 24/12/2013 18:45

Right, reindeer food etc out here too. DD is in the bath and I've filled her stocking and got all the presents out and ready in the sitting room (she's only 2 so we'll just ban her from the sitting room till the morning and pretend like there's nothing exciting in there).

Hope you all get some sleep tonight and aren't woken too early.

I gave up on boots too as everything out of stock.

Oh, and completely forgot to say what I came on here to say Blush

Happy Christmas everyone, hope you have a fab day tomorrow and enjoy the festivities, especially knowing we got fab prices on so much of the stuff. It's been lovely to share thoughts and codes etc on this thread since July and I'm so pleased so many of you (as well as me!) have bought some good bits from it. It's not me to thank though (as it's so nice so many of you have) but it's everyone for linking stuff and alerting us to the bargains. It has genuinely been so nice to have festive banter for so much of the year when most people in RL think I'm nuts for thinking about christmas shopping in the summer.

Funky I have to know.....did you ever get a hare or bear?

Just make sure you come and tell me how the presents went down with everyone. I can't wait until DD gets her finger lights in her cracker Grin

soundstrue · 24/12/2013 19:23

Kids wearing their ebay pyjamas and watching Arthur Christmas. Thanks for all the bargains and Thanks Reastie.

Rhinopotamus · 24/12/2013 20:08

Happy Christmas everyone! Thank you for all the bargains.

ValiumQueen · 24/12/2013 20:27

Happy Christmas Reastie WineThanks Thank you x

Oreocrumbs · 24/12/2013 20:44

It's all set here too! I'm sat surrounded by presents Xmas Grin.

DD has been in bed for a couple of hours now, mince pies and carrots have been artfully nibbled, DP and I are drunk.

I just don't know what to do with myself now! I can't wait for morning Xmas Grin.

Merry Christmas to you all, I hope you all have a wonderful day and that Father Christmas leaves something nice for you too.

Feel a bit sorry for him out delivering in this weather Xmas Wink

YoureAllABunchOfBastards · 24/12/2013 20:55

Reastie, you deserve a big Wine and lots of lovely things from Santa. Thank you!

I have just spent £80 in the John Lewis sale....

RayPurchase · 24/12/2013 22:18

Proper Crimbo! Happy Christmas y'all! mwah thanks for all the bargains Grin

Funkybutnot · 24/12/2013 22:21

Merry Christmas everyone!

I didn't get the bear and hare but I'm not thinking about it now until Boxing Day new year! I'm a bit gutted but there's nothing we can do about it! Thank you all who helped me try and get them, very grateful!

Well the DCs are asleep and Father Christmas has been, overboard isn't the word...but haven't paid full price for anything!

Slightly off topic but DD and DS were on TV today, DD was chosen to have a special day out treat in November to feed giraffes, penguins etc and it was aired today in their Christmas special show. It was lovely, very proud of them both. Watching her today has made me realise how much she has come one in the last 3 years...we never thought she would talk and now she's fluent in two languages. Smile

500internalerror · 24/12/2013 22:33

Dotcomgiftshop sale is online! As is a not too impressive whsmith.
