Was looking for quotes for next thread and the plop up one from elvish made me Grin

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.

Not doing very well on this thread - this week has disappeared. However - for anyone in or around Milton Keynes (I know I've spotted a few mentions!) there's a new Smyths Toys superstore opening soon in the old Comet location. At last a cheap toy shop again here after The Entertainer disappeared from the centre Grin

Has anybody purchased a ladies Olaf jumper from Ebay. Would like one for work but not sure if they come true to size.

JessesGirl · 03/10/2014 23:36

Anybody with an Ikea family card, do they ever send discount codes/vouchers out that can be used on anything or is it just Ikea Family items and certain products at certain times that are discounted? I just signed up yesterday and I've seen the bed that I want to order next month but these threads have turned me into a right tightarse Grin and I don't want to pay full price for anything unless I have to anymore Wink

RJnomore · 03/10/2014 23:38

Never had a voucher Jesse but there are offered instore and you can only access them with the card, otherwise it's full price.

Also laughing at the 'people who bought this also bought' section on Amazon when valerie linked to the wearable fleece blankets they were all different coloured similar blankets except the last one ... Condoms ??

Same dilemma DaisyFlowerChain I am between a 10 and 12. No idea what size to get. I am not an 8 or a 14. Love olaf. Might get the bigger size and put it on a hot wash!

izzybizzybuzzybees · 04/10/2014 00:12

catching up. The monsoon dress is beautiful. Many little girls will love that.

KnackeredMuchly · 04/10/2014 02:10

JessesGirl - no they don't. But ocassionally you will get a month to use a £10 off £100 spend but they send them willy nilly.

daisy ohhelp eco and admiral thanks for the 'lush' advice, am off there later.

showme do you have any local selling or mums groups on FB? Mine seem to have gro clocks crop up on those, could always ask if anyone is selling?

I wonder on amazon how many people have to look at the items to get on the 'customers who bought this' bit. I do Grin every time I look on there and see all the mn bits.

I've mentioned this before, but if anyone is looking for unusual t-shirts or hoodies, this site is good.

They change daily, and today they have Sherlock, Dr Who Tardis and hypnotoad (I'm only a part-time geek, so not sure about that one). T-shirts are £8-£10, hoodies are £24, and p&p is £2.50, so not bad prices. The clothes are nice quality and I like having geeky t-shirts that are a bit more unusual. Plus they send you a free mini bag of Haribo Grin

ItStillLooksLikeRainDear · 04/10/2014 07:01

3pigs I posted yesterday about large box of duplo down to £22.32 on amazon but it back up to £29.99 now. I had it on camelcamelcamel alert & it dropped to this price twice now in the last few weeks but only for a short time.

Vvvoom · 04/10/2014 07:03

Has the throw deal ended? If not could someone post the link?

3pigsinblanketsandasausagerole · 04/10/2014 07:14

Jesse last month IKEA sent me a £15 off a £100 spend voucher to use on one weekend. I went along to get a new mattress and queued 30 minutes for parking! but yes, they do send those kind of vouchers from time to time. Not often.

3pigsinblanketsandasausagerole · 04/10/2014 07:32

I also joined ikea family in the hope of money off what I need
Think I'll wait and see if one of These vouchers appears

iloveholidays · 04/10/2014 07:43

The Star Wars carry cases are great. I got a Death Star one last year and ds2 uses it as a take along lego case.
