Thread 9 - the one with the surprisingly short horn

[RoastieToastieReastie]

As ever, look to post two for links.

Placemarking!

My dinosaur balloon balls arrived today. They look fantastic. This will be DS' favourite stocking present

I got them from Hawkin's Bazaar £2 each

Quality save/Home bargains had twin packs of Tsum Tsums in for 89p (I think - may have been 69p). One is visible, the other is a mystery one. A nice stocking filler!

So sorry to hear you lost your grandad Woodwaj

I hope everyone who was ill or with poorly children in hospital are home/on the mend too. Hopefully the next thread will be The One Where Everyone Gets Home From Hospital!

If anyone has any ideas where I can find a laptop with an NVIDIA or GeForce graphics card, minimum i3 processor and 4GB RAM for around £350. I would appreciate it. Not quite gaming laptop spec, but needs to run Minecraft mods smoothly plus meet the minimum spec for Beam NG Drive. I need it within the next 2 weeks Closest I've found is a refurbished one (at a higher spec) at laptops direct for £420.

L'occitaine free delivery code. No minimum spend. mc6d5ls4. I used it last night and it worked for a £10 order.

Random question, is Beam NG Drive a normal game or is it coding stuff?

I know very little about it but my ds absolutely loves their videos on youtube I.

*That should say with NVIDIA GeForce or AMD Radeon graphics card!

I have found a laptop! I can't believe it was so easy, I must have spent 4 hours looking just a couple of weeks ago. I found an ASUS with an i5 processor, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD and an NVIDIA GeForce 940M graphics card for under £270 with p&p on Amazon The same laptop was over £500 when I last looked. I just hope it's not a pricing glitch and that they honour it. Hopefully it just means that some new processor or part has been released.

Bella, I too am a little unsure what Beam NG Drive is. At it's most basic it appears to be a driving simulation game, but I believe you can mod it if you are tech-savvy enough. Like your DS, my DS has only seen people play it on YouTube as we haven't got a powerful enough computer to run it well, DH's work one is, but he's wisely not sharing

Just catching up. So far I've loads for dd1/2/ds but not dd3(6).

Glad you found a laptop

I have a 12 month old hp laptop that was top of the range last year but n no idea on its graphics card, and our actual PC is pretty old so will set DH the task of finding out more about the game . I think my DS is too young for the moding side yet but its good to know so thanks for sharing.

new lurker here - wanted to say a massive thank you for all the bargains and ideas! Ive never started shopping so early or been quite so organised before

Thanks for Wilko suggestions!!! Can't see any free delivery codes unless anyone has seen one?

Not really a bargain but for the Unicorn Lovers out there £5

WHSmith Annuals are up to half price, not sure if this is a good deal as we don't normally buy them, but thought it would be worth a mention just in case.

PopGoesBang These two dolls houses are lovely, not particularly cheap but they look nice;

personalised wooden playhouse was £99.99 now £34.99

personalised fashion mansion was £136.99 now £49.99

Just picked up my Superdrug orders - the Patisserie de Bain sets were both included and were the body soufflé/shower gel/shower scrubbie sort. They also had loads in store which were 200ml shower gel and body lotions so o picked up another one...

Superdrug also had lots of nice cheap Christmas gifts and stocking fillers. I picked up a fleecy blanket for £5, reduced from £10 and little kits of hand or foot lotion with toe separators or nail files, and bath fizzers all for £1

Nothing much of interest in Hamleys, John Lewis (other than lots of lovely Christmas decorations), or WHSmith that I saw.

The Boots star gift is a Smash Box Light it up set for £30 (value £70) - loads in stock all over the store

Mamas and Papas have some very cute half price baby clothes - gorgeous party dresses in particular. Also 20% off various things like bouncers, play mats and some other clothes

Unicorn mittens in marks and spencer- up to age 6 as far as I could see- forgot to check the price, but saw them and though of you guys!

My laptop order was cancelled. Looks like it was a pricing error after all

those giving a Robert should wear one of these to do it evil grin

Ah you must be gutted SitsOn That sounded great.

Has anyone seen any deals in the MLP ferries wheel and squishy packs of ponies?

Dd2 also wants a sparkly cuddly MLP toy of anyone knows where I can buy one of those!

Thanks for the book people heads up - I spent far too much and must not buy any more books!!

Boots have a free hoola bronzer set when you buy any benefit product

Tesco have a bath like the baby born one for £10 - seems good quality. You get a doll with it.

Tesco also have a lot of the marvel larger figures buy one get one free as well as Disney princess dolls.

There were also large Sindy dolls and accessories like the hair salon chair etc so I think they're trying to make them a bit like the our generation dolls. Dolls were £19.99 and hair salon chair was £17.99

They also have the large MLP that flip etc for £12.50 and there was a pink fluffy MLP but not sure if it was sparkly!

Just tweeted The Works who confirm they won't be doing there stationary advent calendar this year

Zeek! Why did I not know of this?
Just paid £19 for a £25 gift voucher using someone link

If anyone uses mine we get £5 each
