Camel camel camel is a great amazon price tracking tool here

Top cash back here is a cash back site where you get a percentage of cash back from what you buy when you shop with certain retailers. Just search the shop you want to buy something from in top cash back to see if there is a cash back offer and follow the link on the site to go to the website you want. You can then choose to have the cash back directly in your bank account or have various vouchers. I've managed about £100 in a year but many seem to accrue more maybe I don't buy enough, that's a good excuse if ever I've heard one . You have to earn something like £5 in cash back before they start sending you money. If you need insurance etc they can have great cash back offers. If you follow the link above it will earn me referral credit.

Quidco here is another cash back site like top cash back but has a different offering of shops. See info above.

Nzou we had the original rainforest jumperoo. DS was 91st centile and out of it by 9 months as he was just too tall. He was also cruising by then, so had no patience being contained!

Dogmatix34 · 18/08/2016 08:00

Thanks so much for all the bargains so far. I've already ordered a mermaid blanket, cape, shark bed and a stilla gift set. All for birthdays not Christmas but thanks so much to those who posted them.

BanoffeePieIsMyFave · 18/08/2016 08:13

I'd be interested in that please fueledwithfairydust Smile

Equimum · 18/08/2016 08:33

Nzou we bought a Jumperoo for our DS last Christmas, when he was four months. We sold it when he was ten months (after about six weeks of dust gathering) as he just wabted to crawl and cruise. All babies are differ et and some will use them to beyond a year, but probably best optimised if given now.

AlwaysNeverOnTime · 18/08/2016 08:35

I don't know if I'm just being realy stupid here but I've checked 3 times and still can't find the link for the capes. Can anyone please link for me?

Just received the baby box. I have a friend who is due her baby soon - do you think I could give it to her as it is with the Amazon box and ribbon, or should I decant things into a nice gift bag?

candykane25 · 18/08/2016 09:22

My lost my name book took about a week to arrive. They didn't say no me a link to use for a free book so I had to chase them up. It says on my account I haven't any old orders when obviously I do,
The book itself is fabulous though.

jrek · 18/08/2016 09:26

Just wondering if there's any way to get some of those argos.co.uk orders to the Rep of Ire?? Killing me seeing all of these great deals I can't access? Also wondering who could get the cheap show tickets as off to London soon and would love to catch one!
Thanks

candykane25 · 18/08/2016 09:30

Is ther an Argos over the border that you can click and collect and then courier it through to you?

candykane25 · 18/08/2016 09:30

*there

jrek · 18/08/2016 09:36

God I never thought of that! Thoughdo couriers do that type of thing?

MaryJPoppins · 18/08/2016 09:42

Top cash back has an offer £10 cash back on and £10 spend at George ASDA.

EnglishRose1320 · 18/08/2016 09:43

Ds is going to be 11 next month, eeeek that has come round far to quickly. He would like a 3Ds, anyone know of any good deals or places that sell decent second hand ones. Plus any other ideas for a pokemon/minecraft/Percy Jackson obsessed boy, have left it too late for any pokemon things coming from overseas, they will have to be for Christmas. Cheers

Wondermoomin · 18/08/2016 09:46

Question about lost my name books please for those who have them: how does it work out for siblings? I would need to get one for each DD and they're close in age. I can't see different story options, so would they get exactly the same book but with their names swapped around?

WuTangFlan · 18/08/2016 09:52

Wondermoomin I looked into this, and they are personalised to the name of the child so if you're child is Joe it would be he found a J with a Jaguar, an O with an Octopus and an E with an Eagle (for instance). If you're second child is Rob, then the O might be the same but the R and B pages would be different.

WuTangFlan · 18/08/2016 09:53

your, not you're...

candykane25 · 18/08/2016 09:55

You can choose a picture for your child with different hair colours and so on, then the story is based on the letters of their name so say if a girl is called Anna she finds a letter A with the help of an a word animal or such like.
You also get to write a personal foreword for the book.
There are different stories - there's a new house one where you use your address instead of name.

Nzou1050 · 18/08/2016 09:56

Thanks for the jumperoo advice everyone. I'll buy it to give to her now.

WuTangFlan · 18/08/2016 10:01

EnglishRose 46% off Lego Minecraft on Amazon here www.amazon.co.uk/LEGO-21114-Minecraft-The-Farm/dp/B00JMV8Y56/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1471510745&sr=8-7&keywords=minecraft - any use?

WuTangFlan · 18/08/2016 10:09

Also, can't buy online but in the 2 for £7 offer in-store in Tesco, are the Elementia Minecraft chronicles. DD is tearing through them (there's 4 in the series) - she's a bit younger but I think they probably still work for an 11 year old? www.tesco.com/direct/quest-for-justice/A96-ZY5U.prd?source=others
