Just phoned MB - you can't use the HOUSE15 code and qualify for free delivery. Rubbish! But I'll probably still order anyway as it will cost me more than £4.95 to get to my nearest store when you take petrol and parking into account.

QwertyBird · 16/10/2015 09:18

If you have a Home Sense store near you, they have Totes Toasties slippers - lots of different styles, for £9.99.
I bought some for MIL foe Xmas and a pair of the bootie style ones for me. I wasn't very excited until I tried them on not taking them off ever again

Also, just in case this hasn't been posted yet:
benefit minis

QwertyBird · 16/10/2015 09:25

Sorry, posted too soon. 4 benefit minis and free benefit stocking £15 @ boots. credit to HUKD

Freaking out as I've not had a txt or email about my Argos Campervan but I did take a screenshot of my order number. I'll be kicking up merry hell if I don't have on!

OvO · 16/10/2015 09:47

That Playmobil campervan was never £50 surely?!

I got it last year for £10 in Asda sale and then it was down from £23!

RJnomaaaaaargh · 16/10/2015 09:53

The boots site is AWFUL this morning. I'm trying to put the benefit minis in and it's all over the place. Same issue last night with the extra points on two fragrance gift sets.

Aargh

TobleroneBoo · 16/10/2015 09:55

Pink Squash if you get the snapfish app they give you 50 free prints a month. You just pay delivery. If you could get someone else to download it also you will be almost there by Xmas

ToddlerTantrums · 16/10/2015 09:55

I'm on the hunt for a TwirlyWoos big red boat. £40 at Argos is the best I can find at the minute. Anyone seen a better deal?

SpikeWithoutASoul · 16/10/2015 10:05

Also have a unique code for £20 off a Kindle Paperwhite that I won't use. PM me if interested.

EnglishRose1320 · 16/10/2015 10:10

Toddler tantrums I think it is the same price in smyths, but they have a £6 off any spend over £25 with NOV6OFF I haven't tried it yet to check of it works though.

scrappydappydoo · 16/10/2015 10:11

toddler sainsburys sell the big red boat and their toy sale starts next week. No guarantee you can get it cheaper but it might be worth a wait and see?

margaritasbythesea · 16/10/2015 10:18

I am fed up with Disney Movie Rewards. I have points expiring at the end of October. I need one more code to get a DVD. I ordered three of the DVDs they say are eligible and none had a code in. Grrr. It never used to be so difficult!

Now I have 400 points and nothing I can do with them. Angry

Nice unicorn travel mug in Peacocks £4. You can't see the unicorns in that picture but the are nice! 99p delivery atm too.

RJnomaaaaaargh · 16/10/2015 10:22

Finally got boots to work. There's £10 worth of extra points when you buy benefit. There isn't a lot of things left in stock but I ordered 4 mini lip glosses, £5 each for £15, thinking with a tube of sweets they would do for dds friends, they only get each other small things, I've got the stocking for dd a test of pore fessional for her too and £10 back on my boots card. Not bad if a bit complicated and a pain in the arse.

BuffyFairy · 16/10/2015 10:23

RRP of the new version campervan on the playmobil website is £49.99. I missed out on the Asda £10 ones so happy with £20. No way I'd pay £50!

There doesn't look to be too much difference in spec between this one and the new one. New one has 2 bikes I think and different colourway.

BuffyFairy · 16/10/2015 10:25

Sorry, £44.99 on playmobil so yeah, Argos have inflated a bit!

PinkSquash · 16/10/2015 10:40

Just had my LookFantastic order cancelled. That's annoying but it was only for me so shouldn't complain.

The email has a 15% off code, individual only I think.

margaritasbythesea · 16/10/2015 10:41

Hawkeye bow and arrow set £12.97 at Disney store + £1 pp. Money off other Avengers stuff too.

The £1 delivery for Halloween stuff at Disney really doesn't mean Halloween - I got it on the bow and arrow. There's about 60 things that count.

Matalan Christmas tumbler not a bargain but v. cute

ditsygal · 16/10/2015 10:47

Thanks Ipswich! the books are lovely - I will let you all know what the free book is like too

CRtester · 16/10/2015 10:49

I've just found this robot puppy on amazon:
www.amazon.co.uk/Playtech-Logic-Childrens-i-Robot-Flashing/dp/B015YQBF30/ref=pd_sim_21_29?ie=UTF8&refRID=1BN8KZ7Z5SYPD1V83PTR#productDetails

It's down to £9.99 from (supposedly) £29.99.

It looks quite good to me, so wondering if my two (2 and 5yr olds) would like it. Anyone got it and know if it's any good?

GirlWithTheYellowHat · 16/10/2015 11:19

Not getting my campervan, they cancelled my order as it was OOO. spoke to them on live chat, I have the bargain rage.

If anyone see's them cheap give me a shout, would be willing to pay postage if anyone finds them in a store at £10!

TobleroneBoo · 16/10/2015 11:38

Havent actually been onto it but The Brilliant Gift Shops christmas deal today is up to 20% off Vtech

bluesky · 16/10/2015 11:46

Someone was asking about Ali express paw patrol toys? The cheap £3ish pack of 6...mine arrived today, packaging looked great but the quality is pretty rubbish, they are sturdy enough but very small (prob 3 or 4 cm tall) and the print/paint is pretty terrible. However, for £3 I'm happy and my 3 yo DS is too little to care about the quality and he's enjoying playing with them, they fit nicely in his fire engine and Imaginext sets. m.aliexpress.com/item/32440267980.html

Pantsalive · 16/10/2015 12:46

LibidinousSwine thanks for the heads up on the Xbox. Online gaming was exactly what he was after. I'll talk it through with DH. Perhaps we'll end up getting the PS4 that DH wants after all. DS agrees that PS is better but all his friends have Xbox Confused
