The interactive hulk buster has been massively reduced on amazon! Can't do links as on tablet now but might be a good idea to request a refund if you have paid more for it before it goes back up.

Thank you so much for the Minecraft World magazine Freddie DS loves that magazine. He has the current issue, so can't work out whether to subscribe now or wait until the next one is out. I've been meaning to sign up to have it delivered anyway, so this will save me lots of money Flowers

We got toucan box for a while and thought it was great. We just built so many up that we needed to have a break. Ds 4 loves them.

Gap have 50% off sleepwear and warm weather items. Lots of lovely designs.

SitsOnFence · 21/11/2015 07:01

Just found this for the Minecraft World magazine your subscription will start with the next available issue, rather than in January like our Christmas gift subscriptions

Sounds ideal for me, as it won't be a gift.

I can highly recommend it for younger Minecraft fans (DS is 7 and, aside from this, not really into magazines) Also, I saw a Minecraft World annual in ASDA for around £3.50 which has content from the last year's worth of magazines. No use if the child you are buying for already gets the magazine, but coupled with a £1 3-month subscription would make a lovely gift.

Weemee Google 'rainbow cushion' or 'rainbow pillow' and there are a few options but not sure if they're not cuddly toy-esque enough

Who was after a minions fart blaster? The Entertainer had inflatable ones for £5. I have no idea how or if they work but they're a lot cheaper than the rigid plastic ones.
Thanks for the Playmobil tips. DD decided last week she wanted vet/farm sets but I'm not sure how much she'll play with it as she isn't much into animals so I was thrilled to pick up the vet examination room & a stables for such low prices.

Thornton's deal of the day Santas mega bundle reduced from £60 to £25 m.thorntons.co.uk/mobileProduct/1706.uts

Does anyone know where I could find a size 3 or 4 football? Coming up as £7/8 on Amazon..not sure if that's a good price?! Think all this bargain hunting as changed my sense of normal prices! Tia

missmargot · 21/11/2015 07:46

MooseyMoo thank you, I've just ordered DS two pairs of pyjamas half price.

ItStillLooksLikeRainDear · 21/11/2015 07:52

insomnia you can get them from Sports Direct for less than £5

Insomniastrikesagain · 21/11/2015 08:02

Raindear thanks for sports direct heads up...haven't been RL shopping for such a while, it's fallen off my radar!

MarmaladeTeepee · 21/11/2015 08:09

Thanks physionic that's the teachers sorted Flowers Plus a couple of spare boxes for me!

GinAndSonic · 21/11/2015 08:09

Been missing. Checking in, catching up.

GinAndSonic · 21/11/2015 08:16

How do you request a refund of the differece in price on amazon? My mum ordered the hulkbuster for 22.50 the other day and now it's 14odd, that's a big drop.

supermariossister · 21/11/2015 08:24

gin I went through live chat option but a lot of people have phoned too.

GinAndSonic · 21/11/2015 08:26

Think my sister placed the order for my mum (sister has prime) so I'll text her and get her onto it. Thanks supermariossister

SideOrderofChips · 21/11/2015 08:27

The Cra-z-knitt is £10 something on Amazon at the moment

MarmaladeTeepee · 21/11/2015 08:27

There are loads of Thorntons codes knocking around www.vouchercodes.co.uk/thorntons.co.uk

I went for XFACTOR which gives £3 off a £10 spend and nearly cancelled out the £4 delivery charge. So I ended up getting the deal of the day hamper for £26 delivered instead of the original £60 (£64 including delivery). Thanks again Physionic!

supermariossister · 21/11/2015 08:39

With the mine craft world subscription would you just cancel once you start receiving or straight away? Never done it before but it's a great way of testing a few issues to see if they enjoy it.

winewolfhowls · 21/11/2015 08:45

Is ds aged 2 too young for a toucan box?

RJnomore1 · 21/11/2015 08:48

Right I don't know what's going on now, I've just had another flavourly beer box delivered.

I'm lost as to how many subscriptions I've set up, how I paid for them and how I managed to do it!

SconeForAStroll · 21/11/2015 08:54

It isn't a bargain, but if like my DC yours like those mini blind boxes of minecraft characters, there is a secret code so you can work out what is inside.

So if you are like me, you can take a note of the ones they like and then spend ages looking at the boxes in the aisle of the shop....

What age group is the playmobil 123 large farm for? My soon to be 3yr old dd is getting playmobil fairy case and playmobil advent calendar but I'm struggling to find an animal one for her so this would be perfect as £14.50 at the mo on Amazon. But can you play with both 123 and normal playmobil together or is there an obvious size difference? Thanks

Also thanks to Freddie I ordered the Minecraft magazine subscription for my 7yr ds which is perfect as I recently ordered a sylvanian magazine subscription for my dd 5.
For anyone interested in that it's £10 for 4 magazines and a chocolate rabbit girl dressed in nautical dress
