Hello all,

Hopefully the second message on the thread will contain a list of potentially useful links. I haven't checked through all of last years useful links so if I've missed any good ones please let me know and I'll amend.

I'll do my best to keep it updated with each new thread.

DD was watching some kind of Disney Christmas cartoon this morning so I'm feeling rather festive today :)

Thorntons choc bundle codes on Money Saving Expert today - says all chocolates in those bundles should have a sell by date of at least January.

I went through Topcashback for 6.3% cashback, and added a few more discounted items as basket over ??35 = free delivery!

WoahBodyforrrrm · 09/09/2015 22:57

I know LIVVY - I'm not sure where we're going to put it yet Blush but just couldn't resist...
DD has been asking for a rocking horse and this one is just gorgeous - and the price made it perfect for her main present. We could never have afforded it at full price.

The Studio make-up advent calendars have arrived and they look pretty impressive. They are a good size, about the same as the Boots ones the girls coveted last year (but I couldn't afford). Can't comment on the contents yet but for the price I don't think it matters too much, they'll be over the moon with them!

Iamblossom · 10/09/2015 09:16

dropped off threads I'm on so just marking place.

ColeslawSandwich · 10/09/2015 10:20

Glad to hear that Side Smile

MooseyMoo · 10/09/2015 11:03

Popped into Sainsburys and saw Simpsons Lego Minifigs for ??1 each.

I'm thinking of putting together a little toolbox with small sections to put minifigure parts in as both DC love building them.

I also saw, as someone mentioned up thread, that InStyle have free Neals Yard lotions. In Sainsburys the mags have a sticker on saying buy two ??2 off. A couple of other mags were included

IAmAPaleontologist · 10/09/2015 12:45

Asking for a friend, does anyone know where you can get cheap Heeley trainer things?

pandapop35 · 10/09/2015 12:49

Anyone seen any nice affordable melamine dinner sets for a two year old? All the ones I've seen on Amazon are quite pricey.

GloGirl · 10/09/2015 12:54

Good question pandapop I'd also like to know the answer.

Ikea sell a really lovely child's metal cutlery set for ??6 which is expensive but worth it.

pandapop35 · 10/09/2015 13:11

I am keen to find a plate/ bowl/ cup combo. I got my older DD a bunnykins one a while ago but want to get something different but also cute for the 2 year old for Christmas .

Panda try looking in the supermarkets for their sale on old summer stock. I went to waitrose a couple of weeks ago and they had some lovely plastic picnic plates etc half price. John Lewis also had some nice picnic bits reduced.

Jess that horse looks amazing.

panda the green check plates are pretty and half price. Not overly children themed so could use them when ds/dd gets older?

Tk Maxx usually have some melamine sets, I bought one for a Christening present recently.

pandapop35 · 10/09/2015 14:14
