You're keen Amy, ask 3 times and you will definitely get a Robert?

Personally, I am appalled MNHQ doesn't already have a giant unicorn. I assumed it lounged next to the enormous rainbow glistening over the Rapunzel tower, just left of the magic wishing well. I feel very let down. The only way you can make this up to me is by dropping a penny down the well with the wish that DD1 could speak at a speed I can actually listen to.

MNHQ so needs a Robert. Or a matching set of ToyRUs Robert and Argos Robert. They could take one a very important role in calming people down before the webchats and advising politicians on biscuit choice.

Sitting on my hands worked Sad - I just caved and went to order, and Robert is out of stock for delivery again.

It was not meant to be.

The Lego LEGO 60091 City Explorers Deep Sea Starter Set is down to £4.83 which is its cheapest price.

If all goes to plan I will have an 8 week old at xmas.

Clearly he doesn't need anything, but I can't leave my baby boy out, so has anyone seen anything bargainous for a tiny person?

Interesting that people are having issues with IWOOT. I have gone off them since DH struggled to get them to respond when my Christmas present didn't work (candy floss machine).

Albus, I think your tiny person might need this

Clearly I got too excited at the thought of a Robert and managed to spam the board Xmas Blush.

I think sneaking him into webchat discussions is a fab idea. Or maybe a webchat with Robert himself? The star of Christmas 2016!

Also, I must confess we just put the famous Boden ruched skirt in the newsletter so you might want to buy it now if you've got your eye on it before it sells out!

Do I need to buy the White Company Winter diffuser for £20.25 (thanks for the code, making it slightly more palatable)? I love Christmas-y scents, usually bulk buy the Airwick ones and have them all year, but they don't seem to be lasting as long. But I've never paid £20 for an air freshener! But I can pay by PayPal so DH need never know...

Robert would end up as an unofficial bed for my twatty cats, so that made that decision a bit easier Grin

I am very impressed by tidy living rooms and plump cushions, though. Please now confess the mess is piled up just off camera, or I shall feel very slatternly!

I was thinking of creating a Robert advent thread in December - the 24 days of Robert and we could all post photos of what our Roberts are getting up to?

Firefly, I've just bought a winter candle in store and it smells amazing I'm dying to burn it but it seems a bit early...

Groupon have £10 of Argos credit for £5 - seems a genuine offer and no restrictions in the small print I can see. Can be used straight away so a nice bonus with the 3 for 2 toys?

I have been lurking for all 7 threads, getting some great ideas but haven't brought anything yet.....I need a robert unicorn! Unfortunately toys r us won't deliver to where I live and we dont have a shop near us without getting a ferry which seems excessive! I even messaged smyths and asked if they are planning on reducing the cost of it but they aren't Sad

Webchat with Robert? I wonder what kind of a voice he has . DD is always forcing me to talk as her cuddly toys to play other her so I will be forced to create a Robert voice over the festive period.

RJ that sounds very fun. I will join in but Roberts adventures won't start until Christmas Day. He'll probably be wrapped up at some point in October/November and gasping for air when he finally makes his unwrapping bid for freedom on Christmas Day
