Thank you, will check it out later. I was going to buy the stick bot thing animation kit, would you buy two then or just one? You did great explanation BTW and very helpful!

LeavesinAutumn · 18/11/2016 09:58

Amazon are doing free trial we are using it now.

Ohholyfuck if you can't find cheap green dungarees, it might be worth finding whatever you can and dyeing them. I've done this a few times and its really easy - denim is likely to dye well and it might be easier to find.

OhHolyFuck · 18/11/2016 10:08

This is what I ended up with! Gotta hope it works now! Thanks for the suggestions

Clicky link for the fire tablet reduced to £60.

Ilisten2thesoundofdrums · 18/11/2016 10:16

Does anyone have any discount codes for Debenhams by any chance? I know that there is 10% off £50 but I only want to buy one thing - and its under the limit for free delivery too.

GruffaloPants · 18/11/2016 10:19

Good prices in Home Bargains yesterday.

Zootropolis stuff: Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde talking cuddly dolls £3.99 each. The talking bit isn't that good but the dolls are great, have got Judy Hopps for DD. They also have Zootropolis play sets. Pack of two small poseable figures just 99p. I wanted Judy and Mayor Bellweather for myself!

Furchester Hotel snap cards 99p

Lamaze soft book 3.99

Loads more branded toys cheaper than I have seen anywhere else. Lots of MLP, Marvel, Disney, Dora, Sophia the First.

Nice wooden insect hotel 4.99.

Floral garden gloves and secateurs 2.99

Back from holiday just in time for Black Friday. I hope there are some good deals this year, I didn't get much last year. I did however buy DD lots of presents in America, so she's pretty much sorted.

Howtocatchastar · 18/11/2016 11:06

A bit cheeky, but if anyone has a spare Elc code they could message me that would be awesome. I gave my birthday club one away only last week thinking I didn't need it, but now have a basket of toys and would be nice if I could save a little on it! Thanks in advance.

nickdrakeslovechild · 18/11/2016 11:09

Barbie starlight adventure doll is at its best ever price at £7.62 on Amazon

WonderMike · 18/11/2016 11:13

I went to M&S for the Christmas chocolate tree. It was £25 Shock and about 15 cm high Hmm looked bloody delicious though and it was surrounded by half price (or more) biscuit tins which made it look extortionate. I predict it will be on offer at some point. They also had a kids chocolate pinata that looked great but was a tenner and also not reduced yet

sillylily · 18/11/2016 11:22

Hello everyone and thanks for all your top tips. I'm making a great start on the Christmas shopping but beginning to lose track of what I've bought, who wants what etc,etc.
Can anyone recommend a useful and simple spreadsheet or app before this Mother Christmas totally loses her marbles?

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 18/11/2016 11:32

If anyone sees a cheap (as poss) Mary poppins mug, can they give me a heads up!

I know clintons had some 2w ago but when I went back they'd gone and none online!

Poppins stuff is so tricky to get!

torthecatlady · 18/11/2016 11:34

OhHolyFuck, Can't wait to see the result!

LadyFuchsiaGroan · 18/11/2016 11:35

Don't know if it has been posted but some Kipling bags are cheap on Amazon (black Friday) just got my delivery I ordered a Moyelle bag for my mother for £19.

SomethingOfTheNight · 18/11/2016 11:35

A quick reminder to check your bank statements to see if your direct debits have been taken, for the numerous magazine subscription offers that we've been signing up to. My Good Housekeeping, Good Food and Radio Times have all been taken so I've cancelled any further DDs. God knows when I will get round to reading them all though Confused

SAINSBO STOCK ANIMATION BOX

Just been and got one, the box does look great, its a great looking gift and as PP said - great price with 2 quid to GOS.

I have also got the stick bot animation kit and plan to give that one from FC, and then say " oh look, great minds think alike, I got you one too!!"

LeavesinAutumn · 18/11/2016 11:55

I am after ELC till or good till.

ReluctantCamper · 18/11/2016 11:58

A couple of codes in the post today:

20% off plus free delivery at silver by mail PNWC20

25% off plus free delivery at the white company AN443. Think you have to be a new customer for that one.

Prizepudding · 18/11/2016 12:00

I have just bought some sets of stroop waffles in a box with a warmer to sit on top of your cup from Tesco. They are £2 each or 2 for £3 and look really nice for a stocking filler or coffee hamper addition.

Howtocatch do you still need a Elc code? I can pm you mine if so.

Howtocatchastar · 18/11/2016 12:17
