River I love the goat picture

I've just had a peak at DDs pile oh mountain and am debating wrapping small gifts for her as an advent present pile calendar alternative. I've been stockpiling Christmas themed books etc from charity shops throughout the year and have some little things like Christmas hair slides, chocolate coins, and snowman pens etc that I could separate and wrap to have a little something every day but I'm not sure if that's too OTT (and she'll expect it every year!)? I could number them to make it educational for number recognition

RJ did you get good seats for TT?

Elvish Thanks for that book people update.

IAmAPaleontologist: The Isme thingy says that the full price will be taken and then the £30 refunded, how long after does this happen, do you know?

I did the same thing with a Very account years ago, but can't remember!

Bought it! Dh is going to kill me!

lews is it a flipeez hat maybe?

Apparently the Isme £30 goes back onto your card almost straight away. I was too chicken and bought it on the credit account then paid it off as soon as everything arrived. The £30 goes into the credit account immediately.

They said they were 'late' delivering mine, not that I noticed. So they sent me a code for a random £13.95 off which I have just spent - result!

The Furby? You'll love it.

I have just bought Lego Friends Heartlake shopping mall from Amazon. Cheapest I've seen it at £58. That's dd's main present done. Phew.

Queenoftheschoolrun, check out Howies for all things cycling - they do lovely quality, slightly in-jokey t-shirts which my dh loves. Unfortunately they are on the pricey side.

Lol, DrankSangria I read it as 'Furby fish' and was wondering how there could be a toy I hadn't heard of. Nearly googled it like a twat.

And we'd all have been behind you, buying one as well! baaaaaa!

I wondered what a furby fish was too.

306235388 I'm not sure - these ones you could move the nose and mouth into different places I think - still this may well do - thank you!!

Yeah, the furby is particularly ugly, and I need two. So the child the gets it may feel unloved!

I get puzzles from The Entertainer, they are pretty cheap. But djeco and galt ones are very nice and good quality!

Drank I used the code at checkout and it went onto my account straight away so then I just paid the balance as soon as I had received my order so I never had to pay out the full price and get refunded. Because it is a credit account you don't pay anything out in advance. I used the Very one last month too. Love those codes.

If anyone in Edinburgh is looking for a snow glow elsa, sainsburys at craigleith had 6 on the display at the front of the store at lunchtime. They also had 2 dolls for £20 which included disney sparkle princesses, monster high and barbie

Ah, OK, so I go for the "add to account" option? Then when the parcel arrives I pay up?

Thanks!

Just popping on to say I ordered frozen soft dolls(50cm ones)elsa and Anna for £12.36 total on 3 nov and they arrived today. Plenty of time still to order I think...

Drank I used the code on Very and paid by credit card. It took the full amount off my card and then paid the £30 pack straight away.

Oops that should have been "back straight away" not pack

I got my freebie PG tips monkey santa costume today!! small pleasures..

You're making me feel like I shouldn't have just walked past the free pg tips monkey in sainsburys without buying...

Thanks so much to prizepudding (i think) mentioning about the free one direction calendar at WHsmith with o2...it isn't just one direction though its ANY 2015 calendar! I got a Twit Too type family organiser that should have been £10

I've got 2 of the monkeys - and entered the codes from my teabags to get little outfits for them for freeeeee - didn't even have to pay postage. make extra little stocking fillers for nothing.
