Nooo I'm not finished yet - it can't go quiet! I so love this thread :) I feel it's my spiritual home!

Is the current price for fire tv any good? Should I hold out and hope for cheaper?

Tiredoftiredness · 07/12/2014 21:26

Ialreadytoldsanta - the range had some great screw top travel mugs in for a few quid, much better than the ones for 3xthe price from debenhams where the tops kept falling off Angry

Whoever was asking about the womdee scarves, I ordered one to see what the quality was like and it's awful. Very cheaply made (well, it was cheap!) and feel very flimsy and generally crap.
Can't say I expected much more to be honest, just glad I didn't order more!
Just had a look at the minecraft Blockopedia book but it's full price again :( I might still order it anyway, dds would love it.

On a separate note, has anyone used GoGroupie to order anything?
I ordered 2 slushy cups from here a month ago and haven't received them and I've struggled to find a method of getting hold of them. I contacted the slushy people directly (GG are a middleman company, had no idea of this until I paid for a voucher which I then had to redeem with the actual website). I contacted the slushy people's website and have heard nothing from them either and apparently my vouchers expire tomorrow Xmas Angry so looks like I've wasted £30 and can't bloody get hold of them. Bastards Xmas Hmm

Craftycamper · 07/12/2014 22:02

Just bought Minecraft Blockopedia for £14 from Amazon if that helps....

MissRainbowBrite · 07/12/2014 22:14

Lots of Playmobil coming up on Amazon daily deals tomorrow, including the hotel for anyone who wanted it last time but missed it.

ABSOLUTE DISASTER

DH has just told me he doesn't want a coffee machine for Christmas as that's a family gift

Unfortunately I have a nespresso wrapped and ready to go.

What else can I get???? £100 Ish budget.

Aargh.

Oh no, RJ you must have been horrified. I don't think I could have stopped my face from showing the truth!

RJnomore · 07/12/2014 22:41

Could try Janx..

This is already present attempt number two, I bought him Kevin bridges tickets only to discover he had bought two himself.

Confused
MsAspreyDiamonds · 07/12/2014 22:43

Was out real life shopping today & discovered the european shop Hema, it is a cross between IKEA & Tiger. Lots of inexpensive gifts & household products.

JessesGirl · 07/12/2014 22:45

Arghhh no why did I look at the Playmobil Lightning deals?? I have officially finished. Nobody needs anything else. Nothing, nada, zip!

Except maybe the DTs would really like that summertime house thing... HmmGrin

Fox28 · 07/12/2014 22:49

Thanks for the snapfish deal mipe! It was only £1.99 delivery so a real bargain! Xmas Grin

AFingerofFudge · 07/12/2014 22:51

Hema is fantastic - it's Dutch and has some lovely things in! There's a RL shop Hema in Victoria Station at the top in the shopping place.

i need to sit on my hands in the morning and ignore the Playmobil deals!!

happsymum · 07/12/2014 23:00

RJnomore i had the same, but with a dre beats pill speakers - had a few conversations where my boyfriend was saying he thinks they're a waste of money and thinks his sister is crazy spending so much on something that'd never be used by his bil (she was actually testing the waters to see what he'd think about getting one not for her partner at all!) so its been returned and now i have no big present for him.

so stuck! whats everyone getting their male partners?

happsymum · 07/12/2014 23:25

Claires have 20% off everththing - only till midnight tho. QUICK!

daddykyller · 07/12/2014 23:59

Thanks Nix01 but that's something completely different :p hehe Already got a minecraft pickaxe and sword - might even have been from the same seller on ebay - as the listing seems much the same as I remember it :) The foam sword and pickaxe are great - but did take about a month to come.

The light up ore blocks are actual solid blocks- plastic I think.The latest

In other news I have spotted that on the Tesco Direct site you can get £1 off a £5 spend with the code TD-FRTW

And a good bargain on there just now is:
Skylanders Trap Team Starter Packs for just £36 and free click and collect from a Tesco store ( even the little ones do this service now too)

for Xbox 360

same price for the PS3 version
And the wii version

This is actually cheaper right now than last years Swap Force.

Other things on their Skylanders section:
The PS4 version is £3 more, and Skylanders Battlegrounds for just £15 (this is the version you can play on tablets), and loads of Skylander characters from £8

So using the code TD-FRTW - you could get lots of individual orders of Skylanders for £7 each and go in to collect them :) - the people at the desk might look at you a bit funny, but there's nothing they can do (WAHAHAHAHA evil laugh)

There's also lots of Playmobile on tomorrow's Lightning Deals

Starting from 7.30am
And the deal of the day will is 60% off Fragrances - For that day only

happsymum · 08/12/2014 02:01

StuntCodPiece · 08/12/2014 07:00
