Red Mag 6 for £6 subscription plus goody bag Red Magazibe subscription offer... no idea what's in the goody bag yet but apparently worth £60! Remember to cancel the direct debit after 6 months.

Xmas clothing now on the next app.

And Pokemon tees. Only in the boys section which will piss DD off come Xmas morning.

I've had my eye on this Melissa and Doug car carrier for ages on Amazon. My 2.7 year old stares at it longingly through the toy shop window every time we go past and it £24.99 in there. It's been sitting at £18 on Amazon for ages but is £15.29 today.

I stopped myself from buying dd2 the giant unicorn last week,you are all making me want to get it again and our house is tiny.

Humidseptember · 22/09/2016 12:52

He's gorgeous. And not as big as I had built him to be in my mind! Although he definitely won't be fitting in my washing machine. ps he came in a long skinny box Grin

Humidseptember · 22/09/2016 12:53

clue same here I did have idea for unicorn hook on wall specifically to hang Rob from????

Theonlyoneiknow · 22/09/2016 12:56

Thanks gooseysgirl for Red magazine sub link - perfect for SIL !

Humidseptember · 22/09/2016 12:56

vino how big is argos rob?

She is reaching the age when she worries that her friends will think she is babyish for sleeping in a heap of cuddly animals sad but she would love a Robert

same here but this is whats pushing me to buy - its the last year she will enjoy this??!!!

Cluesue · 22/09/2016 12:58

Ohh I getting a mini robert

VinoTime · 22/09/2016 13:10

Humid I posted the pic a few pages back but I know it can be irritating trying to find things with the threads moving so quickly, so I'll pop it up again just in case. This is Argos Robert on our 2 seater sofa.

Dimensions according to Argos are: H80cm, W24cm, D36cm.

He's not huge at all. Could easily fit in a washing machine and at the end of a single bed. I fact, he sits up nicely so could squeeze into a corner without taking up much space. I mean, he's not your standard sized cuddly, but he's hardly gigantic. Hope this helps? Smile

Thanks for the pics loving all the Robs stuffed in W machines Grin

I think the large unicorn is the wow - its the size that makes it. for a child its utter fab....smaller is lovely too but if you want wow - you need rob.

stealthsquiggle · 22/09/2016 13:17

Humid I have caved to an Argos Robert as well. I justified it to myself as being "free" because I ordered my DGoddaughters' pressies at the same time so Robert was the freebie on 3 for 2.

I have also got a mini Robert coming from Debenhams (the £5ish Keel one) - but FC will take credit for that.

My thread-driven purchases are starting to arrive. The Arran aromatics reed thingies look really good and will take care of the "random relatives" presents nicely. DD's definitely not a bargain Smiggle advent calendar has arrived too. Between that and ebay purchases for party bags, the shelves at the back of my office are filling up fast....

There is a glitch on the Tesco website where 8 boxes of Celebrations and/or Quality Street are going through at £5 instead of £20. Put 8 boxes in your basket and then choose a free click and collect slot. Ignore the page warning of a £4 charge for a basket under minimum spend. Use the ecoupon 'XXLPLA' and the final charge will be £5.

Humidseptember · 22/09/2016 13:18

vino thanks, I did see the pics but my brain couldnt work out how big he is. Had another look and think I have it Confused

If only there was one - half way between the two robs Sad that would be perfect.

Humidseptember · 22/09/2016 13:19

Vino could a toddler still sit on that Bob?

stealthsquiggle · 22/09/2016 13:20

What size box, LikeSilver Confused?

SweetPeaPods · 22/09/2016 13:20

ItsNiceItsDifferentItsUnusual · 22/09/2016 13:27

Brolly thanks for composter link...that's a v good price. Does the lid seal properly with the base or just sort of get placed on top?
