New thread already. Uselessly not updated from last thread

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

Finlaggan Thank you! I was just thinking this afternoon that I'd buy the large lego head for DS.

I bought the skeleton one a few weeks ago, but it turned out to be a small one. I kept it but felt it was a bit too small, and I'd just made my mind up to go for the large yellow head when I saw your post.

I've bought it now, before it goes back up again. Thank you

I also bought a fart whistle at the same time. I'm not sure how that got on my wish list but it was only 96p so I'm thinking it was down to someone here

Has anyone any The Book People codes? I only want to spend 10 on a book and would prefer not to have pay for delivery

Thanks GateKeeper, that is ideal for skate mad DS!

I've just bought an Anna, an elsa and a sofia the first dress from Ali express. All for one child. My shopping addiction is getting out of control

My lovely DH just called me to say 'I forgot to tell you I picked up more NEXT £10 off vouchers for your internet bargain mates... they are on my desk'. So we have another five. PM me if you want one.

The £40 wooden toy kitchen from Asda is back in stock

Ohhh will pm you wildflowers

Mrswishywashy saw a code earlier I think on moneysavingexpert expert ?? ADFEL10 but not 100% it was free delivery if spending over £10 will try and look it up when I get home

Ok v cheeky wildflowers can you pm as from kindle it won't let me click on your name to pm but can reply to messages :)

Norks, glad you liked the Frozen Dolls .

I still need to order the Olaf... Has anyone received one yet?

The tassimo vouchers don't stack,you can only use one at at time,and if you've already put one in you can't cancelit .

Mrswishywashy just checked its AFDEL10 - free delivery code with orders over £10 The book people

oh bookcave I ordered the Anna dress from there on Friday so hopefully will get it soon. I ordered 2 sizes up so hoping they're not too big.

My olaf should be here any day. I ordered him the same day as baby sven and he was dispatched as few days later, so I'm hoping he will be here this week sometime

Thank you Mrsbaconandbeans the code worked and I got the free delivery

Got a Disney princess toddler Ariel and Cinderella (the £20 boxed ones) for £4.50 each in Asda today! The shelf said £4.50 but I asked the lady to check and she was as amazed as I was that it went through at £4.50! Well worth searching their shelves if you have chance

Can someone link me the Frozen dolls/plush dolls on aliexpress again please so I can use my noggin & add to wish list this time

Thankyou kiwi, will check Home Bargains next time I go to town

Has anyone seen anymore baby svens on Aliexpress? The cute one linked to earlier is now sold out and I have decided we need him!!

I think I'm going to do homemade 'family' Christmas hampers this year. My extended family are always so good to us but buying for them all individually is just out of the question (I have a massive family). I should be able to get some boxes from work that I could wrap up nicely and cover in ribbons.

I'm thinking:

A Christmas CD (Poundland always have them)
A bottle of mulled wine
A small packet of shortbread
Some candy canes
A jar of homemade jam
A jar of homemade chutney
A small box of crackers
Some homemade peanut brittle (wrapped up with lots of ribbon)
'Homemade' Christmas chocolates using something like this silicone mold
A Christmas scented candle
A Christmas decoration that 7yo DD can make
And a couple of Christmas crackers

I think I can bring them in for around £10 each, which isn't too bad. Has anyone done homemade budget hampers before?

Vinotime I have done homemade hampers before and included a homemade candle. Pretty tea cups and saucers collected from charity shops. Soya chips/wicks bought on line and fragranced with essential oils. It was a link on a mums net thread years ago - I am sure with some digging it could be resurrected as its a very cheap gift to do

I got my DS's to make chocolates in dinosaur/robot/animal moulds just like those last year Vino with lots of different sweets in the chocolate. I also used the moulds to shape marzipan, just broke off a small piece softened/warmed it up as I rolled it round, pushed it in the mould, firmed up in the fridge, taken out and left to air dry a little. Lidl will do some nice cellophane soon to wrap it all up in.

Remember I was looking for a nightlight for my 16 things starting ?ith N after the rabbit got stopped at hong kong customs?

I decided to take a chance and order from amazon again in the hope it arrived in times:

www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003QA1M8U/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And it arrived within a week and it's fab! It does take three aa batteries but it projects the stars onto the ceiling, you can turn it to show the sky at different times of the year, or you can set it to mood lighting where it scrolls through some different colours. Well worth £2.50ish.

Got a couple of bits in today!

My 83p card holder is absolutely fantastic. And my 85p globe necklace is really pretty.

Kinda grumpy that I'm forcing myself to put them away. Both going into my Christmas stocking
