As with previously, if I have missed a link you think would be good on the list please post on here or message me. Also if a link doesn't work anymore or an offer is no longer standing please flag it up by telling me in bold .

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.

Anyone know what the quality of the mermaid blankets is like? I've heard on the grapevine they're rubbish but wanted to hear from someone who has one Smile

MarmaladeTeepee · 19/08/2016 22:35

Thanks Silver for the bookmark link - ordered 2 for DC's teachers.

candykane25 · 19/08/2016 22:42

For any mermaid obsessed DCs, in wilkinsons today I saw mermaid dresses for dolls (would fit a baby annabelle I think) for £3.50. Not reduced, just cheap.

Thanks to the PP who introduced me to All Things Brighton Beautiful & Campus Gifts.
Got delivery from ATB&B today and really pleased.

99percentchocolate · 19/08/2016 23:17

Those of you born in the 80s may get a kick out of this - Fashion wheel for £5 at the Entertainer. I thought they'd stopped making this years ago!

Fashion wheel

99percentchocolate · 19/08/2016 23:18

And norbert - that's hilarious!

GingerAndTheBiscuits · 19/08/2016 23:30

Oooo, a happy hour spent on this thread!

I'm on toot toot bargain hunt for DD2 who will be almost 2 and scrabbling for ideas for DD2 who will be 6, and for extended family.

Determined to be organised this year!

AtleastitsnotMonday · 19/08/2016 23:49

99percentchocolate yes yes yes! I had one of those. Sits on hands not to order for self.

BanoffeePieIsMyFave · 20/08/2016 00:18

Love this thread! Glad to have contributed featherpillow 😊 I'm also delighted with my delivery, one of many these days!!

RJnomore1 · 20/08/2016 00:24

Omg. Always wanted a fashion wheel is it wrong to order one for me dd/?

FeelingSmurfy · 20/08/2016 00:54

Thanks all, they think I've had a mini stroke

Won't let it stop me bargain hunting though!

MouldyPeach · 20/08/2016 00:55

ginger I got a load of Toot Toot stuff this week from Ocado, all 25-50% off

FeelingSmurfy · 20/08/2016 00:55

RJ isn't that the point of kids? So you have an excuse to go to fun places and buy toys!

FeelingSmurfy · 20/08/2016 00:58

Banoffee Thankyou! Going through all of those links now

RoastieToastieReastie · 20/08/2016 05:47

Are the womdee scarves ok quality? Thinking my nana might like one.

mmgirish · 20/08/2016 06:33

I was thinking about buying my son a kindle fire children's version for Christmas. Have any of you bought these? What did you think?

GinAndSonic · 20/08/2016 07:18

Ooooh there's an idea mmgirish!
You can share prime benefits with children, does this stop them from purchasing payable content on video?

FeelingSmurfy · 20/08/2016 07:30

Quick look, yes it wouldn't be paid for stuff because they don't need an Amazon account or payment card.

I'm not sure about age restrictions though

Oh and it seems to only be on the kindles you can use the kids accounts, not a normal tablet

EnglishRose1320 · 20/08/2016 07:38

Just realised I'm going to have to venture out to a real shop today, ds has a party to go to and none of the many things I have purchased are suitable, any suggestions for a 6yr old girl that I can pick up in my lunch break today?

1122christy · 20/08/2016 07:44

For a 6yr old girl I would say any kind of crafty type set like doh Vinci set, or jewellery making set, or Hama beads.
My 6yr old daughter loves them.
She also loves shopkins and Sylvanian families.

Haudyerwheesht · 20/08/2016 07:44

Dd is 6 soon she'd love :

Any craft set
A Barbie
Outdoor stuff like bubbles set / Velcro ball and paddle thingy etc
Shopkins
Lego friends

SideOrderofChip · 20/08/2016 08:29

womdee scarves Are lovely but can sometimes be a bit short

mermaid blanket the one i bought from twinkle deals was lovely I'm now waiting for a fleece one from ebay

verytiredmummy1 · 20/08/2016 08:30

Tesco have lots of really cheap outdoor bits at the moment. Just stocked up on bubbles!

I'm looking for cheap fancy dress outfits. Any ideas? X
