I know Hope and since I can't put on a Xmas film this early (have to wait until at least the 1st December), I have decided to watch the first Harry Potter film while I'm working. I know it's not Xmas related, but I do find it Xmassy for some reason. So it seems like I good compromise. I won't get the minced pies out yet though...

I got 2 of the black and 2 of the white (whoops) too Lucysmam, figured I could test them for quality control prior to Christmas!

Does anyone know when is the best time to get a good deal on a laptop? This is DS's main gift as he now needs more and more computer time for school.

Go on, have a mince pie

Does anyone remembers those bronze jingle bells someone linked to before? Mine came today and they're tiny! I thought they would be around the same size as a penny but I guess I should have checked if there were dimensions . I think a few threaded on string would be good on some gifts. Maybe a couple mixed with a bigger one.

Oh ipswich not blaming you at all, just wanted to mention it on here for people trawling through the threads.
I am slow replying because I am overseas (so hadn't got round to ordering it myself, I was still trying to calculate the cost and times of forwarding it on)

does anyone know what the difference between Frozen and Frozen sing along?
I presume subtitles but can you just switch it off so it is the same as normal Frozen?
thanks

I just received 40 AA batteries and 20 AAA for £16.54 delivered via amazon. They're Duracell procell (red and black) I've done a big battery order from them for the last three years and have been really pleased with the batteries and the price! Nothing worse then not having enough batteries on Christmas Day. The seller is bargainshop_london x

I ordered the DVD and a few more... thankfully through Paypal. Dreading them arriving now, feel all disappointed I should have know it was too good to be true.

Are they obviously fake?

I've ordered some button batteries (LR44) as well Buddy 100 for £4. I have dozens of toys that just need two, except they forget to turn stuff off so I don't want expensive batteries that last ages, cheap and replaceable is much better for us.
I've also got OH something he'll like, a Pink Floyd T-shirt in a 3XL and I got 25% off delivered to store for free, yay. Tesco have 25% off clothes, they don't show the discount until you have paid

The Frozen sing-along edition will capitalize on the popularity of the film’s songs by including the lyrics with a bouncing snowflake at the bottom of the screen.

Next Xmas stuff is now online and cards and wrap are are 3 for2 :)

Ah. I was thinking about a battery top up.

The home release includes an “all-new” feature titled “Breaking The Ice” as well as the sing-along and original versions of the film. The DVD edition of the movie includes just one disc.

Just got back from primark and the Christmas stuff was being unpacked, jumpers and duvets out. Big sale of the last of the summer tat stuff to make room.

er, how do you search for a particular seller on Amazon?

Not bargainous but a good saving - Pandora & their online retailers are doing spend £125 & get a free bracelet or bangle. I used John Greed who also add another free gift of earrings or a Bridget Jones style necklace for spending over £50.
If you were already buying some Pandora for someone (or cough - yourself) it's a great deal.

Has anyone ordered from woolworths.co.uk before? They have the leap reader for £26.00 which is the cheapest I've seen it, it's "out of stock but delivery expected within 7 days" but they let you place the order anyway....other places don't seem to offer that service so wondered if it was too good to be true!

Or another suggestions on where to get one cheaper than £39.99?

Damn, oh how exciting. Our closest Primark is only about 4 miles away but we never go because the town is a pain to get to. But we're actually going tomorrow, so yay!!

Thanks Ohhelp

sister paste the following into the Amazon search bar if it's the batteries you're after...

20 x Duracell Procell AAA Alkaline Batteries 1.5v MN2400 LR037

I went by the sellers name on the packaging, but they're under something else on Amazon. This is the title for the 20XAA batteries but you should see their alternatives on the page somewhere hth x

Oh and the next Chritmas duvets are out. The girls one isn't Christmassy enough for me, the boys one is nice. It's less busy then the Matalan one and reversible but it doesn't have the lovely little pocket for a pressie on Xmas day, which is such a nice touch.

Can't decide which to go for....?

The Next ones are £15 too x

Ohh I like the boys Christmas duvet buddy, am very tempted but is it bad I'm debating whether to get it or not based on the fact DDs bedroom is pink and it will clash . I agree, the pink one isn't christmassy enough.

Does anyone have any next codes for the next duvet?

Lucysmam I buy mine from amazon. Huge bag for £12 and that lasts me a year - use it for crafts so it's used regularly. Will try and find the link to the one I get , hang on.

F&F have 25% off for the next 4 days...

here lucys, for the size it's very very cheap. There are smaller packs on there but the price is half this one for 1/12th the amount!!

Save 20% when you spend £25+ on jewellery at Argos...
