How likely is it that M&S will have a 20% sale off again soon. Bit of a boring present but I want to replace DH's workshirts and I have fallen in love with some shoes Xmas Blush

Just bought 2 snow cones, one for ds, and one for my big dsis. She always wanted a mr frosty as a child, and was always told no, as it would break. She was finally given one, and during her first play? It broke Grin hoping this makes up for the years o hurt...

Can anyone help with this?

My 8yo DD is stationary obsessed. The ther day we were in a toy shop and she saw a jewellery box with a lock on it and also one where you had to put in a code. She loved it but she doesn't want one for jewellery, but oe to put all her 'really important' pieces of paper in. I can see very functional looking metal boxes, but she wants cute pictures on it too. Any ideas.

This is the only thing she has asked for! And I don't have it! Possibly because it doesn't exist!

Slightly late but I attach a wreath to my pvc door using a Command strip hook. Make sure you buy one which takes the right amount of weight. It's been up since last year and still works well.

I went to game to get a nes yesterday after being told they had some at my local store only to then be told they didn't have any aargh!! On a happier note everything wrapped and bought except an ipod as thats DH job to sort. Not spent as much as usual so trying not to twitch!! a nes doesn't count if the opportunity arises.

angryangryyoungwoman · 02/12/2016 20:53

Does anyone have a very code please? Thanks in advance

AdamantEve · 02/12/2016 20:59

Margaritas what about one of these? Box
Doesn't have cute pictures on but your DD could decorate with stickers or something. It has got decent reviews. My DD is getting it for Christmas also for her 'important' bits of paper and suchlike!

margaritasbythesea · 02/12/2016 21:04

Grin I'm gald you understand Adamant. It is a possiblity. I'll put it in my basket. She would really like it to be A4 style though, I know.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Does anyone have a code for Peacocks please? Can't bear to pay full price for something!

luckiestgirl · 02/12/2016 21:29

margaritas Does she like Frozen ?

EmGee · 02/12/2016 21:46

I need to get a couple of those Ty Beenie Boo (?) teddies (Sophie and Dotty). Where would be the most bargainous place to get them (online only)?

Thanks to an idea posted upthread, I am considering a twitch on rainbow streamers from Myriad Online. They look lovely!

margaritasbythesea · 02/12/2016 21:46

She doesn't much, I'm afraid but that is quite nice.

All I have come up with so far is this. What do you think?

Cataline · 02/12/2016 21:54

Thank you for the Saltrock code bastard
Lots of lovely tshirts with TEE50 you get then half price so kids for £2 and adults from
£2.50.
We've bought salt rock for years and the quality is great!
Use this code www.talkable.com/x/IpaDfM and you'll get 25% off (i think I get something off too)

EmGee · 02/12/2016 21:54

I like that box Margharitas - could you decorate it first? Maybe paint it pink/purple etc.

Cataline · 02/12/2016 21:55

They have lovely checked bottoms pjs too- lovely for Christmas sets if you want something less 'christmassy'

winewolfhowls · 02/12/2016 22:08

Ty beanies were in the mothercare 3 for 2 a few weeks ago, perhaps they might do another offer soon?

OhRex · 02/12/2016 22:11
