I mentioned this company on the last thread when someone (sorry, can't remember who) asked about a discount for Baker Ross.

I've started getting supplies from here and have been really impressed with the quality and service. There are often a couple of quid off codes floating around, but to be honest they are pretty cheap anyway.

Mine have the live birds without cages and are very happy with them as they are. All the cage is is somewhere to put them and an extra £10 for that is quite a lot. Cage does fit 2 birds so agree it might be a good later present if they go down well!

Place marking and a reminder that The Book People have 15% off until midnight and it decreases over the next few days

Anyone know if an 8 year old would enjoy having the wimpy kid books read to them - says 9+ on the BP website.

Definitely iggi.

Thanks mooseymoo and Matilda, I will buy the ones without a cage

Amazon Lightning deal for the Maps encyclopaedia which people mentioned in last thread - down to £10 for a bit!

And in the world of lightning deals there's a whole huge world of weird chocolate coming up ... Anyone been desperate for that special chocolate corkscrew?!

Iggi999 yes definitely - mine read them at 8 and a bit younger not a stealth boast

Signing in. Also placed my chalk pens order . Thanks reastie. Any word from Chips yet?

Argos Elsa styling head now full price!

Oh yes I've been looking for a chocolate corkscrew for ages, it'll be perfect for..oh no, wait

Lego Creator 3 in 1 yellow racers were £20 down to a smidge under £10 on Amazon

bloody luff these threads --three year veteran--

And if that doesn't do it for you Spotty, there's always this chocolate tap! (Why does this exist?)

Sorry, I'll stop now.

I've just looked at the similar items and I'm even more

My 8 year old devoured all the wimpy kids books Iggy

With the chalk pens do they check you have done a review after or is a good will kind thing.

Thank you for this, Reastie. You are making me get organised early this year.

Thanks RJ and Wigglesrock. He has also asked for the Demon Dentist and I'm worrying about it giving away the truth of the tooth fairy, apparently! (And then the next stop is Santa, I suppose).

...and MissGreen too

Sorry I've been unwell & so not been back to thank everyone for the Paw Patrol ideas. All much appreciated. This thread saves my sanity every year!

My 8 year old is devouring Wimpy Kid - he loves them.

Ooh, thread 3 and Strictly was on tonight - Christmas is coming.....

I've just ordered the chalk pens, thanks.

I had purchased a load of blackboard style stickers from China and the pens will be perfect.

Got my chalk pens today - I love them!

I painted the jars in my pantry with blackboard paint, but the chalk rubs off every time I pick them up. These pens are ideal!

I have tried them on the bedroom mirror, and can confirm that they rub off easily (but only if you deliberately rub at them - an accidental brush over doesn't move it). They say with a wet cloth or Windex, but they rubbed off the mirror with just my finger.

And in case it's relevant (ie if you were planning to paint your own plates ARockNRollNerd) blackboard paint comes off in the dishwasher
