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 and sorry.

Also, has anyone actually tried the Good Housekeeping subscription? I'm trying to get it for my mum, but it keeps saying Checkout Unsuccessful

Help please! My 18mo dd is obsessed with stones at the minute, what's a safe alternative that she cant choke on? Would aquarium gravel be ok for her to play with do you think or larger stones than normal pebble size. Or is it just a totally bad idea? I wanted to get her a tub of stones and a bucket to play with indoors for Christmas.

thanks pigley, I need to go to mothercare to take something back so maybe I'll leave DDs with DP Saturday morning and pop into town to have a look.

Reastie thanks for M&S code. Have I read it correctly in that I just print the voucher and take into store?

Thanks Hope, I will pop into y local one tomorrow.

Girlwiththeyellowhat either home bargains or B&M did last week when I was in... let me look for a link.

Sorry Girl, ignore me. It is in s a suitcase, not a basket.

I was in Claires today and they were offering five sale items for£5 including sale rucksacks and things. Some of them were£20 full price. The manageressdid say they ard changing deals everg day and wasnt sure how long thebags would be included for. Buf what a bargain

The Lidl draught excluders aren't instore until monday according to the website

Dinesaur - how about making some felted stones for your DD?

tutorial I found via Pinterest
You make them with wool round a stone, but you could easily then cut out the stone and fill up the "rock" with lentils or stuffing?
Or the felted stones themselves might be safer for her to play with?

You can also get them ready made on Etsy - but not so bargainous I guess.

Sound the klaxons!

£10 M&S Christmas musical biscuit tins are in stock as of today!

As per last year, there is the lovely rotating musical Christmas tree (at the end) and a festive musical merry go round (second from the end and my personal fave).
The red tin cottage/shop is not musical but is a lovely tin and the blue tin has a golden bauble that spins round (can't remember if this is musical though)?

Woo hoo!! I have the tree but def need the merry go round! Weren't they half price last year at some point?

Yes spotty they were at some point, can't remember when? I got the tree half price and the MIL was overwhelmed!

I got the king size Christmassy duvet cover today from primark , navy and red with reindeer and trees for £20 x

Tanya did you notice how much the single ones were please? Also did they have similar designs? I don't want subtle as for my daughters

jessica78 Tesco have lightning bolts as an alternative to your schwings.

Thanks to all on the thread though - I have been lurking on each thread, and have a full amazon wish list and lots of bookmarks :)

ilove I think the Primark single duvets are £14. The designs are quite subtle with either fairisle, woodland or scandy themes in grey/white, red/white and red/white/blue.

Lots of the claires stuff is online thiugh not the best stuff so worth a store visit. Websits says 5or £5 lasts the weekend
