LEGO was on a good deal in Tesco today too!

This years CBeebies panto is The Nutcracker and if you're interested you can register now for tickets to the show in Sheffield. Tickets are apparently allocated via random draw with 30% going to Sheffield postcodes and 70% to rest of UK. Good luck!

brolly if you arent already a very customer they usually have discounts to new customers

chances are next will sell them too. if yourw not already a customer there someone could recommend you for £20 off a £50 spend.

stealthsquiggle · 13/10/2016 17:14

On Jellycat bunnies, they all seem to be at a fairly standard price, so the best option might be somewhere with a discount code - like White Company if you have one for them?

stealthsquiggle · 13/10/2016 17:25

I went to IKEA by accident today. As you do. Not blown away with their Christmas stuff, TBH, but I did get some wrapping paper and tags. Also a cuddly camel. Just don't ask...

SymphonyofShadows · 13/10/2016 17:27

M&S are doing a Sparks card offer of 10% off hampers and food gifts, got the email this afternoon. I ordered a small one for DM as I usually get her one and got free nominated day delivery too.

GnarlyOldGoatDude · 13/10/2016 17:29

Have been following, and have actually started my Xmas shopping earlier than Xmas Eve, which is a record for me!

Does anyone have a Matalan code please?

I downloaded the app several days ago but haven't been sent any codes. Thank you Smile

I've been following these threads for ages and have got some great bargains!
I've just ordered some tasting boxes from hotel chocolat, does anyone know when is the best time to cancel membership? Should I wait until I have actually received the boxes then cancel? I don't want to accidentally end up paying for the next month too.

In thehighcastle I'd wait until the boxes have arrived to cancel. If you are worried about paying for the next one, log in, go in 'my regular subscriptions' and you can edit each one so they come only 3 monthly.

NotSayingImBatman · 13/10/2016 17:47

A few threads ago someone posted some paw patrol bath sets consisting of a Marshall shaped sponge and a bone shaped bottle of shower gel, I think they were about £6.

Anyway, B&M have them for £3.99. They also have Lego Chima Rumbling Bear for £24.99, seems to be selling for £35ish everywhere else.

Thingywhatsit · 13/10/2016 17:55

pamela thanks for heads up about the CBeebies panto.

Kinda hoping we don't get tickets as it will have to come out of the Xmas fund, but I would have to go if we get tickets!

Inthehighcastle · 13/10/2016 18:07

Thanks for that, think it's currently set to 4 weeks so I'll change it tonight. Just hope I can resist eating them before Christmas!

stealthsquiggle · 13/10/2016 18:14

If anyone has genius ideas on presents for "tweens" - budget ~£10 each - one is pony mad and the other sports mad, apparently (according to DD - they are for parties she has been invited to). I am all in favour of party presents which look as though they cost more than they actually did Grin

niffynoo · 13/10/2016 18:26

Longtime Laura Ashley have them in the sale at the moment here

niffynoo · 13/10/2016 18:27

Sorry them being jellycat bunnies!

monkeyfacegrace · 13/10/2016 18:43

Ace, love the wine stopper man! Ordered 4 Grin

shadesofwinter · 13/10/2016 18:43

Stealth, these are cool and within budget, although nothing to do with the kids' interests!

monkeyfacegrace · 13/10/2016 18:45

And I'm a complete and utter dick. The flashing trainers work fine. Would just be a good idea to charge them first Blush

stealthsquiggle · 13/10/2016 18:47

interesting, shades

shadesofwinter · 13/10/2016 18:59

RJnomore1 · 13/10/2016 19:02

monkeyfacegrace · 13/10/2016 19:04
