I've got some great bargains from here and I remember someone posting about tsum tsum erasers in a previous thread but can't find it. Can anyone remember the details as Im sure it was a good offer.

Newdad190 · 28/09/2016 23:12

Thanks for the amazon deal.

Also thanks for those who have ordered and can reassure on Studios crazy procedures Confused I ordered my police bike on Saturday so will wait another couple of days to see if it shows up and then take it from there, it all just seems a bit back to front!!

Here's the Tsum Tsum eraser link I got the twenty pack for £11.99 and it's a substantial gift. I saw the ten packs around the high street for a similar price so it's a pretty good price!

moonbabyandthebeast · 28/09/2016 23:36

Ziggy theres a 10 pack of tsum tsum erasers in the entertainer, currently half price at £4.99. Or if there's any problem with stock I saw the same pack in asda tonight. Normally £10 but in their 2 for £14 deal.

needle I have 4dcs aged 4-9 and we can't do advent calendars either. I tried everyone taking a turn on a certain day (play mobile -fucking disaster). I used to leave notes rand the house as a treasure hunt EVERY day. Fighting would ensue.

To be fair, I have a child with ASD who has the typical problems with sharing. But just to say that I've thought this through and about two years ago we stopped advent calendars because they were causing so much trouble.

I can't afford to make 4 individual ones because the cost would be too great. I have thought of sweets a couple of nights and a treat for others, but I'd probably prefer putting the money towards their actual Christmas Day presents.

Sometimes I get a bit sad at the talk of advent calendars on this thread,must because I've bloody well tried!! It's kind of a relief to hear it is not only me!

disneyprincesswannabe · 29/09/2016 07:03

needle same here! 4dc's aged from 12 down to 9months. I hate chocolate advent calendars (they are so blah and the chocolate is yuck), done just the picture ones but they are £££ for just a sheet of card. This will be the first year of doing special/toy advent calendars. They are expensive but I've just included them in our overall Christmas budget so it's a case of have a £20 calendar but there will be £20 less of gifts under the tree. They get enough anyway, and this thread has saved me so much so it is just about affordable. Just need to find ds2 one but there doesn't seem to be anything that's really him out yet

MissRainbowBrite · 29/09/2016 07:03

I picked up a Haribo advent calendar in B&M yesterday. I've never seen a Haribo one before, a bargain at £3.99. They weren't even price marked in the shelf so were new out. It's quite big and the picture on the back looks like it has decent gifts behind each door.

Arghhhhh I bought a voucher from zeek for toys r us to buy something specific that went out of socks for delivery while I was faffing. Does anyone know if I can pay online for click and collect with them? If not I've wasted £20

ninjaturtlesmum · 29/09/2016 07:50

Never good when Toys R Us are out of sock Admiral Grin

ValiumQueen · 29/09/2016 07:50

I have three kids, now age10, 6 and 3. I have resorted to buying three fabric Advent Calendars, each hung on their bedroom doors, and fill them each night with little bits and bobs. I have tried all sorts of other Advent Calendars and this seems to work best with my three at present.

I got these in a sale when they were £5 each.

ninjaturtlesmum · 29/09/2016 07:53
