I ordered this balance bike this morning for DS, 29.99 down to a tenner and I had it delivered to store for free.It has really good reviews as well. Be warned though it's out of stock at a lot of stores but thought it may be available near someone on this thread

Thanks for the Amazon Germany tips. Will try them out . (And then hope photography is not a passing fad)

Just bought an Ugglie

Toblerone thank you so much for the cat socks link - dd will love them! (only 9 but she will grow into them ) .

I was away this weekend and missed the Playmobil Christmas room! Grr!

Was considering the large aquadoodle pad, any thoughts? By crimbo we'll have 1 year old twins and (nearly) 3 year old so thought they might all enjoy this. Any experience of it? Cheapest I spotted it was £14 on Groupon.

I have been laying low since my user details were on The List, but I saw this cat coulouring book on Amazon has dropped a bit in price and is now £2.99. Thought it would be good for my cat loving aunt. (An adult colouring book).

Got us an Ugglee thing too, thanks - dropped to £9 while I was looking. Also tempted by Reastie's Playmobil unicorn calendar post and saw they were offering the police AND dragon ones at the same price... Oh god, I bought them all. I have been trying to hold back from spoiling the DC and clearly failing. [Grin]

Loving this thread, I am useless at finding bargains so don't have anything to add I'm afraid!
This will be the first year that I am buying 'proper' toys for DS. Can anyone tell me about the Argos 3for2 sale? When is it usually on and is it on every year? Got my eye on a few games in there.
Also on the lookout for Russian dolls and Mousetrap game for around a tenner if possible!

Ooo I've found something that might be useful for anyone in the Manchester area. Voucher needs to be used before the end of the year but a good deal for anyone planning on shopping there anyway!

Thank you for the wow toys amazon link, perfect for DS :)

I'm just checking back in because I keep losing you!

Hello! I have stopped lurking specifically to direct you all here to the Magpie sale , where I have just spent £50 which should have come to around £160 .

Bargain of the evening was a coin sorter piggy bank thing that makes a nice little present for both DH and my DSis at £7, but apparently retails at £40 ?!

Anyway it's definitely worth a look! I've also spent the evening putting together a Christmas budget and spreadsheet so feel a bit more organised! DH is horrified that I'm starting this early but am trying to avoid the panic present-buying in mid-December that took over last year and swallowed half our savings.

Also bought some of last year's Christmas cards in our (soon to close ) M&S outlet store today which should have been £15 but were only £7. But yes - I feel I deserve bargain-hunting points of some kind!

Does anyone have any recommendations for a kids camera for a would be nearly 3 year old please?
