If I’ve missed anything good from any last threads onto the list please let me know.

I did a Tesco online shop last night, £15 off £60 spend and £7.50 from Quidco for new customers. Got an email saying it had tracked and payment is estimated in June 2015! WTF!

Also Hotel Chocolat has tracked but just has a dash by the date? Is that normal? Am itching to cancel.

Also I need to make a photo book but don't want to pay more than £12-£15
Any ideas?

Marmalade, Snapfish have a 11x8 30 page one for £17.84. Use BOOKBUND45

Lego Advent Calendars down to 14.97 at John Lewis - cheeps I've seen

Thanks wildflowers and twiglet re disney store, well my credit card isn't thanking you but still :)! I had nearly bought some bits yesterday with 20% off so pleased I waited. Doesn't work on Frozen toys and other non toy bits I would have wanted annoyingly.

www.quidco.com/disney-store/ 4% cashback

www.disneystore.co.uk/mn/1316006/ worth checking the sale items as this brings some of the toys down to being a bargain.

Cars Mack filled with die cast cars (my son too old now sob) works out around £20

Cinderella doll with wardrobe extra dress and mini figures is around £11 after discount

This sleeping beauty doll set looked great in the disney shop but I resisted as dd wanted a castle and that had sleeping beauty figures already works out about £42 www.disneystore.co.uk/sleeping-beauty-deluxe-doll-set/mp/72839/1000255/

Marmalade, just dashing out so haven't time to check, but look here...

www.albelli.co.uk/promotions

These are the ones we all did last year (some of us may have done several, cough cough)

£15 off your first order, and there is a book for about £15, so effectively you only pay postage. Albelli are absolutely the best quality IMO.

It's a good size too, the ones I did last year were almost A4 sized.

If anyone sees a good price for zoomer zuppies pls let me know... I am thinking under £30... thx

Sunshine, not sure how good it is but I think tesco have a magic set in the 2 items for £30 offer

I my goodness nearly time for nursery pick up.

must. do. housework.

Has anyone seen anywhere on the high street for hot chocolate sticks for a christmas eve hamper? I think I may have seen some in matalan but can't remember and couldn't spot any yesterday when I was real life shopping - I want 3.

If anyone is looking for Christmas mugs our 99p shop had some lovely ones - all nice thin china ones. Some like father christmas and others with reindeer/stags on. Bargin.

We are having Christmas at home for the first time this year. Yay! I want to make the house and garden look magical. Can anyone recommend any bargainous fairy lights (indoor and out). Thanks in advance!

HoHo,
My local Lidl had 2 packs of chocolate stirrers last week. In a square block. Looked yummy. In with Xmas goodies IIRC

Just realised those might not be quite what u were looking for!

The sticks you put in with hot milk to make hot chocolate! Thanks

Sevi Doll'S House Small with Furniture B Play Set for £27.09 on Amazon

Thank you all for the Disney store code but sadly it won't let you use it for the Frozen range.

Will use it for other stuff though.

HoHo Home Bargains also do those chocolate stirrer things, can't remember exact price but it's around 70 or 80p each.

Also in Home Bargains, I picked up a Hello Kitty shoulder buddy for 59p. It's a small figure that has a magnet in, you place a magnet under your clothes then place the figure on and it 'magically' stays. Thought it would make a cute stocking filler.

I've just looked at John Lewis to reserve the Lego City advent calendar and it seems to be out of stock online. However, Argos seems to have stock available at £15.99 so I have one of those reserved so I can breathe easy again now - especially as on Amazon they have jumped back up to £20 and about a fiver for postage.

Alternatively they have them for £15 in Toys R Us and if you spend £35 or more then you get a free lego coin bank worth £11 - but they don't have the advent calendars on click or collect or to order so they might be out of stock too - but you might get lucky in some stores...

hohoho100 home bargains have the hot chocolate sticks. One with a gingerbread man, one with popping candy and another flavour but can't remember that one! Think they were about 70p each.

oh and meant to say that whilst looking for the advent calendar, discovered that the Lego Shop has an exclusive Calendar which might be enjoyed by some - £9.99 - basically a set of bricks with the numbers 1 - 31 on, days of the week and months and more bricks to turn it into a big block and a couple of minifigs.

There's also a Lego Friends version (£10.49):

Also has anyone seen a bit white toblerone on their travels? Looked for one yesterday but could only see the gold one. Thanks

pound land had loads of frozen bits again today - hairbrushes, wash mitts, rings, stick on earrings and toiletries

saw on advert outside they were supposed to have magic expanding flannels - there were none in mine, if anyone finds any would they mind posting on to me? Obviously will cover cost/post thank u!!
