As usual, links etc in post two. Please let me know in bold if anything no longer works Thanks

OhHolyFuck good luck in your interview. I have visions of you being asked 'so why do you want his job?' And you replying 'well, there's this Christmas thread on mumsnet...' :)

I was slow on the cloud pets thing and now can't be ordered with the entertainer. Anyone seen them cheaply elsewhere?

Thanks for the doll link. I will have a look at Wilko :)

Did anybody else buy an Argos voucher from mightydeals.co.uk? I've just tried to redeem mine instore and it wasn't recognising itBlush highly embarrassing!
Have emailed to complain, I'm slightly annoyed they don't have a contact phone number and it can take up to 72 hours for them to reply to emails. I really wanted to use it today for the last day of 3 for 2 SadAngry

Where is the best place to buy Sylvanian Families? Does anyone know if they are ever on offer?
Have just done a huge order on that Hema site. Looks great for stocking stationery etc.

RJnomore1 · 27/09/2016 10:56

I've got one from ndeals lavate I'm planning to use it today but now I'm worried!

WhatYouTalkinBout · 27/09/2016 10:57

**Lavatelasmanos

I used the voucher for Argos on friday and it will worked fine. Got the email to redeem and then got an additional email with a 10 digit code to use in store

LavateLasManos · 27/09/2016 11:07

I tried the 10 digit code from the email, the lovely assistant tried several times for me but it just wouldn't have it. Even tried the M code (the one to redeem before you receive your 10 digit code) just incase I was being dozy and had done it wrong but it wouldn't accept either of them Sad

Quick mermaid blanket question- DD is 6, average height. What size blanket will be best for her?

butterflymum · 27/09/2016 11:44

Lava, I didn't buy the voucher, but do know that numerous folk have had problems in the past with similar deals from the same company. Just google the company and money saving expert to read various articles.

TryingtobePrepared · 27/09/2016 11:59

Does anyone know what the quality is like for heyland & whittle will be nearish to an outlet on friday and wonder if it's worth a look? Thinking mainly about the candles / reed diffusers maybe for teacher gifts Cheers

Anyone know if the character.com PJs are small/ big/ normal fitting. The boy I'm buying for is a small 4 year old, wearing 4-5 tops now, but age 4 trousers but don't want to buy 4-5 if they will only fit for a month!
thank you!

Polkadot1974 · 27/09/2016 12:57

Sorry- where was the Tomy ice cream 2 for £25 (?) from too? I simply can't keep up with the speed this year, but doing my best as it's so darned good!! ta

Ooh my hotel chocolat box has arrived!
Have decided to keel this one for me and dd to enjoy over Christmas week so I will be lovingly stroking the box for the next few months

MumboNumber5 · 27/09/2016 13:18

Mine has too awoof - just cancelled membership of the club, and now need to try not to eat them before Christmas!

RJnomore1 · 27/09/2016 13:18

My hotel chocolat is due on Friday 😀 But I'm keeping it for the 30yh November. I've bought an American Christmas film I saw recommended on her (can't remember the exact name but it was something like a Christmas tale and it's huge in US apparently, little boy called ralphie?) and we always curl up together with a DVD (been the nativity films last few years) and snacks, the Christmas jumpers abd stockings come out and the advent calendars arrive.

I need a hamper for it I really do...

Can't remember who was after a Boden code but DEF1 is the current 20% off with free del and returns.
Been out shopping this morning and noticed Asda had good deals on Frozen Lego, £15 for Anna & Kristoffs sleigh and £22.50 for Elsa's ice castle. Also, Smyths had 20% off Frozen Lego, crayola and some other bits which if you want to combine with the current money off codes could give a good deal, they end today though.

Fueledwithfairydustandgin · 27/09/2016 13:37

Try def1 for Boden. Think it's still working. That's 20% and free delivery on full price or add it to sale things and get free delivery

Fueledwithfairydustandgin · 27/09/2016 13:39

I can't remember the poster looking for barging for 2 year old but just remembered one of DSs favourite presents last year was a toy box filled with hats. Wilkos hats are great value. Also added some cheap sunglasses. He loves it but for some reason he thinks if ever there's music you have to wear a hat Hmm no idea where it came from Confused

Poundland have cute Christmassy-themed bath stuff in: bath bombs, bubble bath, bauble-shaped lip balms, Christmas-themed nail files, etc. Although - as I've discovered - it's not very bargainous when you fill your basket with the stuff Xmas Blush.

Also - a few threads ago, people were posting Benefit 'mention me' links where if you ordered through that link, you had a free cosmetics travel bag with your order. By the time I clicked on it, it had expired but I had an email from Benefit today to say that I will get a bag with my first order. I have had a look on the website, it's a different bag from the white and silver bag which is on there at the moment. So, have placed an order which I was going to do anyway for a present for my little cousin so we'll see what comes.

lozabella · 27/09/2016 13:43

What's the deal with the hotel chocolat? Is there a code or is it the £9.95 for one box (cancelling after). Are the dates good for xmas?
