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 .

23-31 August
20-26 September
25-31 October
28 Nov - 5 Dec
Then 16-22 Feb 2017

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.

I've seen these in the flesh and they were very cute, a little girl had them on over her knees with a brown cord pinafore. Great sticking filler. Fox socks for little ones £1.59:

I just got an email from The Works about all their Christmas craft sets starting at £1

RJnomore1 · 20/08/2016 19:21

Ok I'm looking for a bike for a 12 year old and a pair of beats if anyone sees any offers on them.

Christmas is always hard as dd1s birthday is the 27th too. This year she wil be 17 so it's driving lessons, provisional and Highway Code - easy but no bargains to be had on them!

GingerAndTheBiscuits · 20/08/2016 19:27

Thanks for the toot toot tips. I went back to my Amazon wish list and saw the price on the big garage had dropped by a tenner so grabbed that for her "big" pressies and will flesh out with some extra cars and bits

woodwaj · 20/08/2016 19:27

I dont suppose anyone has a code for the great little trading company?

They have the sling bookcases that another poster was looking for too!

Mummyshortlegz · 20/08/2016 19:28

They have 20% off book storage this weekend according to my email. No code.

woodwaj · 20/08/2016 19:33

They do!! I am trying to be greedy! The one i want is still £68...its lovely though!

RJnomore1 · 20/08/2016 19:36

Try this - don't know if it works because I found it online for you but it's 20% off over £50, it might stack...

Do you think the fitbits will have better deals on Black Friday?

OutwardBound2016 · 20/08/2016 19:47

Gerrard, the OliandNic bags look lovely, are they a bit plastic looking or nice? I quite fancy the grey backpack for me

Petal7 · 20/08/2016 19:57

Reastie - from memory, re Playmobil - I think there are firefighters with a working water pump and there are several boats that you can fit with underwater motors, I think. I believe one of these is the Fairy Queen ship. One of my dc has just been gifted it, but I haven't had a chance to investigate further yet. Hope you find something you like. My dc also love the pool.

SisterMoonshine · 20/08/2016 19:58

Some great links. Thanks everyone. Will get some of those Argos annuals.
Tesco had all the Quality Street. roses and Heroes out today Shock

todayisabeautifulday · 20/08/2016 20:00

Regarding the GLTC. I had a big order to make so called them and said that I could not quite afford the items, even if on sale, if they could give me an additional discount. And they did. I obviously don't know whether they will do it for any amount, but it is worth a call. It seems to me that their customer service really wants to keep customers happy.

d270r0 · 20/08/2016 20:02

Ooh I love all the Works Christmas craft stuff! Just want to buy it all but bought loads of Christmas craft stuff in the January sales last year so am having to restrain myself.

Have just bought 2 of these remote control rock crawler trucks from amazon. £10.91 down from £25.99.
I looked at some reviews on you tube and they were going fantastically over long grass, stones etc. so perfect for outside, although not waterproof so only on a dry day.

RJ I bought ds Beats last year on Black Friday for £65 from tesco. This deal isn't quite as good but there is a £10 off £75 spend on the website bringing them in under £100 Beats

Thread 2 - the one where we all buy a shark pet bed even if we don't have pets
nickdrakeslovechild · 20/08/2016 20:24

I've been out at an event today and the most seen item was the capes! Every time a child went past with the cape and mask I did a little chuckle. So if you were also there - hello! Xmas Grin

AlfrescoBalconyWanker · 20/08/2016 20:25

Amazon free postage site

Argos used to do a much cheaper version of the GLTC sling book case - I don't know if they still do.

onesparesecond · 20/08/2016 20:42

The Magmagic lightning deal is coming up again on Amazon tomorrow. They went really quick last time.

RJnomore1 · 20/08/2016 20:47

Thanks vold that's not a bad price but I might wait and risk it for a better deal on Black Friday then.

I'm determined this year to get finances under control.

woodwaj · 20/08/2016 20:49

It is recognising some codes i have used (including the one above which was better than the one i found!) It says applied and nothing is coming off. I was considering contacting them tomorrow id prefer to order online for my additional 8% cashback...i dont want much do i?!

Methenyouplus4 · 20/08/2016 20:54

Thank you alfesco- bought a christmas present for the rabbit as an add on!

Restie- could we add that link to the original/first thread, it's really useful.

RJnomore1 · 20/08/2016 20:56

Wood just as a thought - check these bookcases?

m.vertbaudet.co.uk/child-s-bedroom/furniture/bookcases.htm

A bit cheaper and there's a £10 off code too. No sling ones but now but some similar ideas.

imsorryiasked · 20/08/2016 20:56

Same seller as the penguin scarves has these really cute bunny ear hat/scarf combination for toddlers in various colours £4.89 with free delivery.

RJnomore1 · 20/08/2016 20:58

Those are too cute! I need a toddler now 😧

RoastieToastieReastie · 20/08/2016 20:59
