Thread 7 - the one where we have to find somewhere to hide the giant unicorns

[RoastieToastieReastie]

See post two for links etc and please let me know if I've forgotten anything good

Noticed that they have Shopkins 12-pack Series 5 for £7.26 they also have Series 3 for £6.85

*2 purchases!

I haven't got a clue VinoTime that put me off ordering them.

The works have up to 30% off today only, up to 10% orders £10, 20% £20 and £30% for over £30. Mega30, is all over website.

Someone told me the Grossery Gang were the Shopkins for boys- totally new to me as DS nearly 4. Any thoughts from anyone as they seem quite new.

Im sorry if I sound ratty here but why are people on here moaning about how they think particular toys aren't in the Argos 3 firc2 rather than actually, yknow, looking at the Argos site?

Cos I've seen filing going oh I guess Lego/playmobil/sylvanians aren't included when it's taken me about 60 seconds to check that actually at least some of all three are...

(Realise I'm probably the grumpy fucker on this years thread, sorry)

I got an alert to say that Robert was back in stock for delivery.

I am sitting on my hands. There is no room in DD's bed and not much in her room. She already has a giant cuddly snake and an even bigger dragon. She is reaching the age when she worries that her friends will think she is babyish for sleeping in a heap of cuddly animals but she would love a Robert.

In fact, I need to sit on my hands generally for a while and take stock.

I love that all the unicorns are called robert. I can imagine all these children trying to name them nice girly names and firmly being told "no, it's Robert"

Admiral - I bought a few of the flashlight friends to give as presents. They were from high street tv - the first one was £4.99 and any after that were £3.99.

Our unicorn can't be Robert as that's DH's name.... DD's favourite name at the moment is Cynthia so it's likely to be that

My newborn actual baby is a Robert, perhaps he needs a namesake unicorn?

I am weak. :o

I have two of the smaller Roberts reserved in Argos for pick up later. I want to go right now but I have a little person with me so can't. I have reserved Blo pens as the free item, but I am going to have a look through now and see if there is anything else to get instead.

My kids are too old for these now [sob] but loved them when they were younger. A bit like the elf on the shelf idea, they are daily updates from the elves that you hide around the house. It kind of kickstarts the excitement.

Letters from Father Christmas' workshop - Early Bird Discount & free P&P worldwide till 7th Oct

I've been eyeing up the sylvanian families school for DD (6)- does anyone have it and is it worth the price? I'm toying with getting the little playmobil school case otherwise but the sylvanian one looks nicer!

Lego advent calendars reduced a bit on Amazon right now. Star Wars £19.99 Lego friends £14.99

Got this for my DS1 who will be 5 by Christmas. He's been asking for it and I didn't want to pay full price so been waiting it out.. I was very happy when I looked this morning and it is nearly half price!

HAs anyone seen Peppy Pups anywhere?
Just saw an ad for them on tv and checked Amazon. They're £25 there, but if I were to buy one for dd, I wouldn't want to pay that much for it.

Oh rats - the Lego City Advent calendar has already gone back up to £19.85 - stupid school drop off getting in the way of my shopping!!

This is Argos Robert. He's amazing. I may keep him for me.

2 seater sofa for an idea on size, the pillows on which I actually fluffed and displayed nicely for MN eyes. Possibly the first time that's happened this year month

Has anyone received any kawaii stationery from aliexpress. It all looks great but don't want to order loads if it isn't any good.

Playmobil city sunshine preschool has dropped to £50.86 which is close to its lowest ever price of £49 according to CCC

I'm having a moment - talk me down! I'm thinking the magical portal could appear overnight at Christmas leading to robertworld and then the smaller Argos Robert could come through the portal (the last thing this house needs is another large unicorn...)

Oh come on RJ you know Robert needs a friend

Does not need a unicorn, does not need a unicorn, does not need a unicorn
