Playmobil 5221 large horse and pony farm £62.77. Very good price. I don't need it..... I don't need it..... Not twitching..... Nooooo

Know what you mean about the Christmas jumpers. My DC have them that my mum bought last year and luckily they still fit. The school I teach at is doing a Christmas jumper day so I had to buy one for me. Got it last week in Matalan. It was £9. They had lots reduced in the ladies' section including Christmas tshirts. Hope that might help someone.

Speaking of Christmas jumper s. Had anyone seen a v neck one, longer line?
I'm all for joining in the madness but definitely not in a crew neck!

Nearlyadoctor · 09/12/2015 07:46

Lala I too need it like I need a whole in the head.... No no no more Playmobil

Glad I'm not the only Christmas jumper scrooge. Going to Asda this morning then Matalan. Hoping to avoid the town centre in this lovely weather.

I've been lurking on this thread and got some great bargains, thank you!

Hope this still works and helps someone:
White Stuff 15% off online with code CRACKING

Can anyone help me out? My DS, who is 4, has asked Father Christmas for a 'bat and ball with lots of rainbow colours on' (he asked for a piano first but fortunately persuaded him that was too heavy for the sleigh to carry!).
From the picture he drew and what he has said I think he means a long baseball bat. I've found some decent foam ones but none with lots of colours. It's the only thing he's asked Father Christmas for so I'd really like to find one. Any suggestions from you clever lot....?

Thank you!

I can't get the la redoute code to work (2627) what am I doing wrong? I added things to my basket out the code in and it worked even added a free bag but I then remember something else I wanted so went and added it but when went back to basket everything was back up in price and it says code not recognised? Thanks

NorbertDentressangle · 09/12/2015 09:18

Dashie you can buy rainbow foam balls like these ones. They're golf practice balls so maybe do a search on ebay or Amazon too.

Can't help with the bat though I'm afraid.

RatOnnaStick · 09/12/2015 09:18

Thomas Trackmaster Avalanche set is down to £23 from £44.99 on Amazon if anyone's interested. Its a good price.

Eva50 · 09/12/2015 09:19

£20 off £100 at Joules with WINWED20. May already have been mentioned as I haven't caught up yet.

SayAGreatBigThankyou · 09/12/2015 09:21

I bought DD one a xmas jumper from Peacocks (£10) but got a much larger size so it will do for next year too. Then I can hopefully sell it for a fiver Xmas Grin

YaMasYaDaWithAWigOn · 09/12/2015 09:31

Dashie are the foam bats in packaging? Just thinking you might be able to glue some nice ribbons along it to make it more colourful

ChoccyJules · 09/12/2015 09:31

Have to get a certain gift from Next Home (heading over to retail park today to get a few other urgent things) but haven't seen any discounts and may have to pay full price! Any ideas?!

trixymalixy · 09/12/2015 09:36

Iggi Fitbit charge hr was £65 at certain points from Amazon. I'd wait for the sales.

Scottishgymnast · 09/12/2015 09:53

Long shot but anyone know if there is ever anywhere that you can get Jo Malone candles with any money off?

Dashie · 09/12/2015 10:13

Thank you Norbert those balls look great and nice and cheap on Amazon.
YaMas I hadn't thought of that! I suppose I could wrap ribbon around the handle and maybe draw spots or something on the bat.

Great suggestions. Are there any others?

asuwere · 09/12/2015 10:15

cadence the Christmas pudding bin bags in my home bargains were next to the normal bin bags rather than in the Christmas aisle if that helps.

I'm lucky that none of my DC want me to buy a Christmas jumper as they've all said they won't wear it again, I'm going for a bit of tinsel and a Christmas badge on a normal top Xmas Smile

NorbertDentressangle · 09/12/2015 10:43

Dashie how about some multicoloured rainbow cord like this wrapped around the handle?

AFingerofFudge · 09/12/2015 10:53

just been doing an ocado shop for after Christmas - they have Baileys Chocolate Luxe 50cl reduced from £18 to £6 .
