Thread 5 - show us your haul

[RoastieToastieReastie]

See message two for links etc

Are there any Next codes left please?

I went to the entertainer to pick up an order and managed to buy gifts for all of the girls in our family in five minutes, Lalaloopsy dolls were reduced from £30 to £20 and I got a set of two Equestrian Girls for £10. Will post links when home.

I'm sure ticket to ride is one of those games that often gets reduced during Black Friday.

I can't post my main haul as it's all safely tucked away from super sneaky spying 11 year olds.

But I have pics of my stockings haul - I had to take photos to remind myself that I do NOT need more!

I saw these Santa pants gift bags on Pinterest and tracked some down. They're £6 for 6 including postage from this seller.
Not sure about combined postage if you buy more than one set.

I was thinking about pinning photos to secret boards on Pinterest to help keep track of things.

I would like the Sylvanian Families nursery and double decker bus for DD. Just used the tip to check the price on Camel Camel Camel and I'm really shocked at the difference between the current price and 'good price'.

Fun reindeer party game for a bargain our 1.72 plus free delivery on amazon - looks great fun 😀

A pic!

Arthur baby Sue ryder have beautiful dolls houses. We have a really big one of their charity shops in the village I work in and I always admire them as I walk past to work! I'm hoping once we have our house organised there will be enough space for dd to have one!

woodwaj I was looking at that, I think it's actually something like a blanket and it's a pattern?

Oh another question for you all....

I have a friend who loves her beauty products. I was thinking for one of Christmas presents of getting her a personalised beauty bag and filling it with cosmetics and fragrance samples.... would this be a good gift or look really shit?

Neddle, I've been Pinning the gifts for my DC for a few years, and it is lovely looking back to see what they got over the years, really makes me feel nostalgic, even though it's only been a few Xmases' worth!

Jesus the Next code is just for new customers sorry.

Hi just wondering if ANYBODY had received the shark bed? It's my cat's birthday this week and I really wanted him to have it! 😡

Sorry not up to date on thread so may have been mentioned but lots of bits in Aldi sale online. Frozen, finding dory bedding, cushions, blankets. Lots of character sock £1.19 and cool pop up tents for £13, could be good for festival going teens or as a play tent in the garden.

Popsicle we got a bouncy castle from tesco direct using our club card points doubled up so it was free (although not sure if they still do doubling up)

I was really pleased with these ham cartoon sock for £1.. (they are more like trainer socks size wise) and they came quite quickly!

Admiral I think the personalised beauty bag is a lovely idea but loads of samples would just piss me off. Maybe just pop in a couple of nice full size bottles of something.

I don't mean the little packet ones, more like travel sizes I guess?

I thought these were cheap but I don't have girls:

Did someone mention they got cashback on the beerhawk advent calendar? Can't find them on quidco!

I have a link for 15% off Book People (I get something too, think it's also discount off books) which I can PM. It has my full name in it do I can't put it on here!

2 x shark blankets done, and I am rubbish at sewing! DC pleased though. Took about 2 hours start to finish, required 1 x £5 Wilko blanket (makes 2), 1 old t-shirt, a black permanent marker and sewing machine. I've typed up how I did it for future reference, if anyone wants the instructions PM me.

GardenWorm, I don't think a 6/7 year old could use the sewing machine on their own - threading the needle is a bit fiddly if it comes unthreaded, and I'd worry about them running the needle over their fingers. That said, that's probably the case for any sewing machine - I might try my DC on it tomorrow and see how she gets on. Will let you know.
