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.

We're supposed to be collecting an Elsa dress from asda tomorrow - actually quite nervous now that they are sold out again in case there was a cock-up...

Pocketfullofsnowflakes · 29/08/2014 19:13

Snowflake hair accessories £2.99 delivered, might be good with the Elsa dresses?

I got the Tassimo Twitch- just got DH to order his own Christmas present. Only downside is that he knows how little what it costs now!

pigleychez · 29/08/2014 19:30

Blimey! Thread number 5 already!! I was just sat earlier thinking about how last year was such a nightmare buying xmas presents as we moved 2 weeks before xmas and everything was rather last minute.
I followed the bargain threads last year but was too late for all the China/HongKong bargains.
Determined to be more organised this year thought id have a look at the christmas board and cant believe you ladies are already on it! Like minded people :)

Thanks for all the bargains so far and will add mine when I come across them. I WILL be organised this year!!

I ordered my Tassimo yesterday evening and had a text today to say it's arriving on Monday! I'm very happy with that.

Chockywockydoodah · 29/08/2014 19:51

Picked up the Asda Elsa dress today, it's lovely - DD will be over the moon!

Badvoc123 and anyone else who is looking for Star Wars Lego, the Book People have 2 Star Wars Lego books on offer for £4.99 each. You can use codes PAYDAY, AFLOWER and AFCHILD to get some money off as well. I think they are supposed to be for children but DH likes them because they come with a mini figure Smile.

Mipe · 29/08/2014 20:06

Oh and thank you fknfamilies for those codes! Thanks

HopeAndStories · 29/08/2014 20:15

Ebay has loads of good deals on this weekend- here

Eg. Superdry watches for £35.99 instead of £95. iPhones/Pads reduced, perfume reduced etc.

KEGirlOnFire · 29/08/2014 20:19

We ordered both tassimo machines on the same day, to the same address but just a different name. Both have arrived, no problems.

KEGirlOnFire · 29/08/2014 20:26

Tewi we got our elsa dress from asda today, you should be fine.

Neeko · 29/08/2014 20:44

My Anna dresses finally arrived from aliexpress today. They are beautiful.

Barbeasty · 29/08/2014 20:47

See, I didn't even use a different name.

We decided we could give a 3rd one to someone else if it turns up, but I suspect it won't.

But it does mean that a huge portion of my shopping is done for this year.

GreatSoprendo · 29/08/2014 21:00

Just seen which Tassimo machine you are all getting - it's the same one we got last Christmas when it was a ridiculous price on Amazon. Probably about £50 then. It's great - most used appliance in our kitchen. Really nice and compact. It's so good, I bought a further 2 for presents and gave them later in the year.
And yes, the best place to buy discs is direct from Tassimo. Sign up with them, get the free introductory offer, and after then buy your discs in bulk whenever they have a free delivery offer on.

augenblick · 29/08/2014 21:14

Just seen this on John Lewis, sorry if it's been posted before John Lewis own brand duplo was £25 now 8.75

VinoTime · 29/08/2014 21:20

Neeko could you link the dresses/seller for me please?

I've seen some lovely ones that I would like to get dd but I'm hesitant to dive in just yet.

Also, could somebody link me to the seller they used for the Frozen soft toys please? Any good?

WheresTheCoffee · 29/08/2014 21:21

Thanks fknfamilies I just saved a fortune with the Book People!Thanks

nickdrakeslovechild · 29/08/2014 21:21

Wilko's have reduced their vintage floral bake collection, oven gloves are £1, aprons, cake boxes and sets of miniture windmills are all 25p Set of 3 cake tins are £2.50. Got a lovely selection for a baker friend of mine. Worth popping in if you are near by.

MabliHeulwen · 29/08/2014 21:29

VinoTime Dolls Here I brought the 40cm rather than the 50cm though - DD will be 2.11 at Christmas and I think she'd be a bit alarmed if her dolls were nearly as big as her!

WildFlowersAttractBees · 29/08/2014 21:33

My tassimo arrived this morning... less than 24hrs from order to delivery. Beyond impressed!

admiralclingus · 29/08/2014 21:37

What was the afchild code for? It tellsme it applied it to my order but couldn't see what it actually did?

I think I need to hide you guys for a bit cuz I've spent A LOT of money thanks to this thread!!!!!

TeWiSavesTheDay · 29/08/2014 21:50

Good to hear KEG!

I'm so tempted by the tassimo would be a great gift for tricky family people, but I'm out of gift money until next month - gutted!

Hopefully they will be reduced again closer to Christmas.

Keepcalmanddrinkwine · 29/08/2014 21:55

Had an email saying my Coke bottles have been dispatched! :)
