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

Children's Cookery Play set was £19.95 now £9.95 on campusgifts, there's quite a few bits in the clearance section.

creating some sort of rope attachment and Robert could actually be flying above the stairs....

with his window portal behind him

"Oh, I photographed Robert the Argos unicorn for some women on the internet. Y'know, for size."

^^

Missing the point of the thread (maybe Robert should have his own thread?) but here is pre-Robert (ToysRUs 2006!)

Could someone repost the studio codes please :) can't find them.

My chanted nails boxes were a bit bashed but nothing drastic emailed seller and they said exchange, full refund for return or partial refund so I've got 1.78 back or something

SideOrderofChips I'm laughing at the Christmas pig duvet. Pig in a blanket? :)

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

How old is your dd? Mine is 12 and would adore a Robert, and she would declare him the best present ever. I however am struggling with paying £30 on a cuddly toy when I could spend that on something she actually needs (the Christmas budget is only £100 per child for tree presents, stocking fillers and advent calendars so £30 is a big chunk of that!). With luck he will drop another 50% to £15 then she might get him for her 13th birthday (January)

My Robert came today. Box now on top of a wardrobe. Will have to pretend something else is in it as my daughter will notice it straight away 😁

She's almost 10. Much too young to be abandoning furry friends. She doesn't actually want to, she just wants reassurance that her friends are just being obnoxious it's "normal".

Has anyone bought any of those inflatable beach beds like this
I've seen varying reviews but they would be a great present for my in laws who live near a river.

Shufflebum yes, I have one - not from whichever vendor it is that keeps coming up on my FB feed (and when you look has a stream of people waiting for delivery months after ordering ) but from either Amazon or eBay.

I like it, DH hates it. It's not quite as easy to inflate as they portray, but once DS (13) and I got the hang of it, it works well.

I think some of the boots 342 has gone live on line and we have been sorting out the shelves for the stock at work today

If the argos Robert is smaller, does that make it a Rob

FeelingSmurfy - that is brilliant news and even better that you got the big one. Thanks for letting me know (and we now know that it's a safe site to buy from)!

That's a nice one stealth. I'd seen it elsewhere but dismissed it because it looked too small, but it's a good size really and I really like teddies that have beans in them. I had something shorter-haired and lighter-coloured in mind, but am going to have to stop dithering and settle on something eventually!

Admiral I'm very sad boots no longer do an nhs discount!

Finally got my IWOOT refund today after opening a PayPal dispute...

Lego millenium falcon £84.99 again... Quick, it went up again yesterday! www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00SDTTH5E/

Thanks to the PP who posted the bargainous Hawkins Bazaar helicopter, that's one nephew sorted!

Was there a Hollister code posted a while back? My search isn't working, if anybody could repost.

Aldi had tubs of Play Foh for 79p each today.

Chocolateteabag:
Am I being thick on the Tesco chocolates?

LikeSilver - you linked to chocolates which are on a BOGOF offer - so 8 boxes at £2 each will cost £8.
The code you've given gives £7 off the order so takes £4 below £40 charge plus £3 to give the £5 total cost?

The code itself is a good one to have btw - but cant see a glitch from £20? Or am I looking at the wrong chocolates?

I don't know where you get the £3 from but the rest of what you've said is pretty much how it's working for me.

8 boxes @ £2/box on BOGOF = £8
Code XXLPLA = £7 off bringing it to £1
Add £4 for click and collect for all orders under £40 = £5 total charge

Silver is that how it's meant to work? What was the bit you said about ignoring the £4 basket charge for click and collect?

Saw some v cheap pug pens/lip balm/other bits in Card Factory today. Think there were mugs?

They looked really nice, if DCs are pug fans

I meant ignoring it as in, the code takes it off, I suppose. I just thought it was a good deal worth sharing.

I went for a wander round Sainsbury's tu 25% off sale today and got some lovely bits for dd for the winter and somenput away for Christmas.

Got an extra bargainous baby roller thingy for a friend's ds. The tag said £8 but it rang through at £4 and then - 25% so it was. £3 and....... it has a cape!

Thanks likesilver, I'm very happy with 8 boxes of chocs for great price and as I needed shopping it meant £7 off pretty much got them for £1.
