[Reastie]

As ever links etc is are in message two in the thread. Apologies if I've missed anything good out, please do let me know and alert me to anything not working or expiring

GerardWinstanley I know I ordered my MLP hoody around the same time as a few other people on the thread and mine arrived on Friday, so I'd maybe give it a few more days? Dd loves it, it wasn't a Christmas present, she wore it all weekend

[Matilda2013]

The my little pony hoodie I bought was terrible did anyone else have this also didn't fit dsd at four and a half at biggest size

[BuggeringBollockingCrappity]

Maybe just me, but I can't get the Disney store code in the op to work


My crafty crocodile bits came and I'm thrilled! Fab stuff for the price!! Thank you to whoever mentioned them!

[YaMasYaDaWithAWigOn]

Ooh I've managed to finish a bargain thread, feel like I've entered some sort of hallowed hall of fame

[wigglesrock]

Whoops unfortunate X post. My MLP hoody was true to size. I didn't get the one with the wings and mane on the hood. Mine was just a grey hoody with MLP pictures. Dd2 is nearly 8 and a big 8, hers fits fine. I also ordered a raglan long sleeved tshirt for her, which came up big, it actually arrived weeks ago although it was ordered at the same time.

[YaMasYaDaWithAWigOn]

Or honour, not quite sure what a honout is or whether I should feel hallowed to enter

[GerrardWinstanley]

Thanks Wiggles. I'll wait until next week to panic then.

[YaMasYaDaWithAWigOn]

I'd ordered DD a mlp hoody from Ali Express, the Twilight Sparkle one. The size looks ok, the only gripe I have is it looks like it was supposed to be sparkly on the hair/mane of the print on the front but there is just white flecks instead. DD won't mind though

[Matilda2013]

Ah my MLP hoodie had a mane and wings and isn't great dsd still loved it but alas it is too small

Willow Tree figures half price on amazon, from as little as £7.20

[RJnomaaaaaargh]

I bought dd a hoody last year, the rainbow dash one, from Amazon and paid either £30 or £40 for it. I'd love to see how it compares to the cheap ones - is it the same one? Hers is very well made and detailed, and sized just fine, she's 11 now and still I think will get another year out of it. I was happy paying that because she's such a huge fan but if it's the same one you all paid about £8 for I will be annoyed!

[Binglet]

Marking place shamelessly. I have spend £20 in the works which included a slate blackboard to try out the chalk pens! I showed them to DP and asked him how much. His first answer was £2 which made me sad, as I thought they looked much more expensive. But he then turned around and said "I knew they would have been more expensive but you're such a bargain hunter I knew you wouldn't have bought them for less than £2". He knows me too well.

YaMas Coleslaw - excellent thread killing work there! is one of you Waithorse perchance

Lovely new Thread Reastie

Maybe a bit leftfield but for anyone with an awkward (but internet enabled) crafty person - Craftsy.com have some of their online Craft Courses on sale at the moment. I am looking at a knitting course for myself DM which is down to £12.77 from £19, there is also an introduction to Knitting one for £9.58. I know there are lots of Youtube videos out there, but the Craftsy courses are really well made and the site is much more tailored (you can stop and start each video, add notes etc)
Link here
They do more than just knitting too. You will have to set up a Craftsy Account for the person - but would be interesting for someone?

[YaMasYaDaWithAWigOn]

Haha not Waitmonkey/horse but I do feel ridiculously thrilled to have finished a thread

[MaryJPoppins]

Trying to find a large Winnie the Pooh for ds1 (so he won't be jealous of the 17inch Peter Rabbit his brother is getting!)
And a 3ds.
And an Argos that actually has the Peppa Pig helterskelter set they have at a knock down price in stock

[DillieDoily]

Place marking so I can take advantage of all your bargainious finds! Might start with the Molton Brown one...

On my to buy list are Lego Star Wars advent calendars, Moover red wooden toy pram (£69 on Amazon but need to find it cheaper), some Octonaut gups, and loads of other things I haven't even thought of yet.

[Iggi999]

Rakuten has nice character tshirts for men/boys for under a tenner. I particularly like the minion dressed as darth Vader
I can't link as my phone keeps crashing!

How do I read private messages on a mobile?

Deathstar they have a four pack of normal sized Play Doh tubs for £2.39 at B&M which works out at £.59 a tub, and it's £.40 a tub for the deal you linked, but the tubs are tiny. Plus you also have to pay for delivery with the groupon code, which ends up working out at £.49 a tub.

The normal sized Play-doh have 141.75 grams in each tub and the Party Tubs have 28.35, which means there is 5 tiny tub's worth of Play-doh in 1 normal sized.

So 20 tiny tubs is 567 grams for £7.99 or 4 normal tubs is 567 grams for £2.39.

That was probably a little more in depth than you or anyone cared for .
