As previously, if you shot a link in the OP links isn’t working/no longer in date, please let me know by posting in bold so I can easily see to update Thanks

Ahem, I can’t actually remember if I updated the links from 2 threads ago. I think I have, but I’m not sure. If you spot any links that don’t work and you’ve already told me please tell me again in bold Thanks and sorry.

Thanks you to whoever posted about the story cubes deal on amazon, they are brilliant. DC haven't stopped playing with them over the last couple of days.

Keepcalmanddrinkwine · 28/08/2014 11:53

Ke If you message me your name and email I can get you the £20 off at Isme. They are the same as Very.

Stevie77 · 28/08/2014 12:00

Can you link to the story cube please? Can't find it

EvilHerbivore · 28/08/2014 12:14

Does anyone know if there is a tea equivalent of that Pact coffee offer?

Myhensareladies · 28/08/2014 12:20

story cube
They are now back up in price, I think I paid £3 for them.

NorksEnormous · 28/08/2014 12:25

What age would you suggest the story cube would be for?

KEGirlOnFire · 28/08/2014 12:29

Keepcalm, I've messaged you, thank you. Thanks

I can safely say that I recommend 'Milka' pods for the Tassimo... it tastes amazing...

Just got DBro a Jack Wills parka for under £70!

EvilHerbivore · 28/08/2014 12:43

Fisher-Price Discover and Grow Jumperoo down from £110 to £55 but price is fluctuating so I'd be quick if you want one

ItStillLooksLikeRainDear · 28/08/2014 13:13

...so apparently I've ordered 2 tassimos! Had 2 emails with 2 different order nos. I guess that's the in-laws sorted too now. Confused

Myhensareladies · 28/08/2014 13:46

Story cubes - Well I would say from 5+

NorksEnormous · 28/08/2014 13:51

Would 13 be too old?

Myhensareladies · 28/08/2014 14:02

I don't think so, the DCs had a ball last night playing them with my parents (in their 50s) who made up some amazing stories. I think they're brilliant and have the other 2 sets in my wish list, would love to get them and put them in DCs stockings. My DCs are 9 and 8.

WildFlowersAttractBees · 28/08/2014 14:05

Hope they don't cancel one ItStillLooksLike.

Was just in Home Bargains and picked up one of these Colour Your Own Messenger Bag for £4.99 and a matching pencil case for £1.99. They had lots of little colour in handbags as well for £2.99 Smile.

Myhensareladies · 28/08/2014 14:29

Anyone seen cheap cellophane about?

AtlanticDrift · 28/08/2014 14:50

When is the bag tax being introduced in england? I know its october in scotland. Its already here in n ireland. Just asking as its a good gift idea, those nice jute bags or foldable shoppers. If any of you want ideas, they became very popular here when the tax came in

AtlanticDrift · 28/08/2014 14:51

Myhensareladies I asked my local florist could they order me a roll from wholesalers. Its done me for the past 4 christmases and cost £8

National Geographic Kids 2015 Infopedia.

Down to £3.99, cheaper than the 2014 one.

I usually put a comic in the stockings but this year it's a couple of different NGK books.

I'm not sure if it's an item that needs the order to be over £10 as I have Prime.

But another bargain tip is to use another email address to open another Amazon account. Then you join Amazon Family (free) and it gives you 3 free months of Prime. Then immediately go into your account and stop the renewal. You'll still get your 3 months free but don't have to worry about being charged.

I do this every 3 months. Blush

coffeetofunction · 28/08/2014 15:20

oO great find on the book!! It's free delivery on orders over £10....I just so happened to have £10 in my basket WinkWink

KnackeredMuchly · 28/08/2014 15:22

Thanks for the Tassimo link - just ordered one for my parents. I remember being tempted last Christmas at £60!

KnackeredMuchly · 28/08/2014 15:22

*Glad to finally comment so this thread keeps on my active convos too. I'm just about to check out of Amazon with a load of piddly bits!! Grin

The Hobbit Monopoly.

Down to £13.50. I've bought it for my Hobbit mad 6 year old. He's been counting down the days until the last film!

LottieMumofWilfJenkins · 28/08/2014 15:47

My Amazon finger puppets have arrived. For some reason the chinese people think i have six fingers!!! Hmm Confused

Wreck This Journal

Not a massive bargain but a few pounds off. But I bought my DS1 this last year and he loved it. There's a few other types (a scavenger one etc). I bought some for birthdays (what do you buy smallish boys you don't know well?) and they were all a big hit.
