manic it's awesome! Soooo many fiddly bits though DS who is 4 finds it all a bit much but it gets played with loads by me!

Another vote for Playmobil camper - although it is responsible for my massive stash of PM this year, as my DC love it so!

If anyone is in two minds about going to Boots to pick up the Black Friday deal on body serum or facial oil (already discounted about 50%, plus the usual No 7 vouchers apply too as Admiral said), remember that you get a voucher when you pay as well. Which then can be applied to a new purchase, and so on. and on

I only went back for more twice. The sales assistant was very nice, but she started to look strained by the third transaction...

I would totally get the camper van if I hadn't already twitched on the playground. It's fine. They don't need more.

and breathe...

Petal7 · 27/11/2015 16:41

Twitch, Fuzz twitch! It is amazing!

fuzzpig · 27/11/2015 16:42

No I'm holding firm on this one makes a change :o

eastmidswarwicknightnanny · 27/11/2015 16:44

Ok so I ordered the kindle it's needed for the night feeds!!!

Also lots annuals are £2 I got minions banana, lego and paw patrol

Pooseyfrumpture · 27/11/2015 16:47

So Lego Dimensions has appeared on Amazon BF but it's down as £449 worth of every single expansion pack. Do you think they will split them when they actually go on

ManicPixieDream · 27/11/2015 17:06

Got the camper van, thank you. Considering getting another for my friend's son. Also some pop vinyls for other ds (not sure if they were mentioned here or HDUK) They were not from Amazon, they were from pop in a box.

Very nearly done now! Love this thread. Thank you, although I've spent a fortune I've also saved loads!

Penguinbeaver · 27/11/2015 17:08

Just twitched on the gingerbread house kit on Amazon lightening deals seems a good kit for £7:99

2legit2knit · 27/11/2015 17:12

Has anyone seen any deals on PS3 controllers? The dog crunched the one we had Angry and DS won't be able to play his bargain Lego Dimensions if we don't get a new one!

Myfanwyprice · 27/11/2015 17:15

I well and truly twitched thanks to this thread today!

Thank you so much to the poster (sorry I can't remember who!) who posted the Game deal on the xbox one - they were sold out online, but I nipped into the shop after work and they had loads.

And also thank you for the tip about the England vs Netherlands game.

I have now officially finished dh, dad and dd mainly with things from these threads!

Just putting out another request for a French connection code, has anyone managed to get anything to work?

krisskross · 27/11/2015 18:10

Is there a good price for heelied around? I've no idea what they cost and DD just announced she's asking father Christmas for them!

SweetPeaPods · 27/11/2015 18:12

Can anyone summarise what the kindle fire that is £34.99 does?
We already have an iPad. Is it worth having also? Would it be good for the kids to watch peppa pig etc? Thanks

So, while not strictly christmassy, I received my first 'pink parcel' today. I had a code (PPFRESH) which got me 2 monthly subscription boxes for £5.95 each, they're normally £12.99 each. Looks very easy to cancel after the two.
Anyway I'm very pleased with it. It is designed to be used at 'that time of the month' and contains loads of sanitary products (About £3 worth and you choose the type and brand yourself) Then there is a 'for you' box full of little treats and I got-
A cherry lip balm, a little dark choc orange bar, nail varnish, eyeshadow, eyeliner, 75ml apricot handcream, sass serum, a cranberry vanilla teabag in a little box, a paul mitchell tea tree hair and scalp treatment.
And basically all of that for £3. I think one of these boxes would be great split as as stocking fillers (they also do teen parcels) or else as a present for oneself (could always empty the contents of the 'for you' box into a stocking without peeking and would be great fun opening on christmas morning).
Hopefully the code above still works, if not they do the first box at £7.95 anyway, still think that would be a great bargain. Just need to remember to cancel after (but I don't want to).

Just got a gel nail kit from Boots for £34.99. It lasts at least 10 applications so that's quite a saving on getting them done!

Just a word of warning if buying anything from House of Fraser, I bought a present on promotion. It arrived damaged and they are being really difficult about me exchanging it. I have to return the call up to rebuy with no guarantee it will be at the price I paid.
