chocolatepudandchocolatesauce Mermaid blankets are on Boohoo website at the moment under the kids section they're £10 but with code 30KIDS you get 30% off bringing them down to £7 and they're also doing £1.50 for next day delivery at the moment as well. Someone mentioned it up thread I think.

Thank you MrsChrimbo I'll have a look on boohoo website now as I need 2 mermaid blankets. Are they the same as Very in that it requires an account to be created?

MrsCrimbo74 · 08/09/2017 10:09

bookwormbeagle No it's just an online shop so you just pay for it when you check out

JangleJangleJangle She still plays with them, they look exactly like the real thing, I put a couple each day in her advent calendar so no box was needed anyway. All her friends have played with them and nobody has mentioned they might not be the official ones. Will take a pic!

Paw patrol don't drop chase game.
Half price at the entertainer £6.50.

peterpancollar · 08/09/2017 10:57

Thanks to poster who posted about Debenhams Lego bargains. Day off work and started some xmas shopping and found the half price Bumblebee helicopter at £6 and the Batgirl Batjet at £10. Wavered over the Batgirl Secret Bunker at £20 but decided that it was overkill so left it. A small pang of regret but exerting self discipline.

Took a bag of old clothes to H&M to exchange for a £5 off £30 voucher which I then used to buy some jeans for the DC plus I got the 20% off at the same time.Smile

Hi all - joining in the fun.

I started this morning (using my day off wisely).

I found the JoJo Siwa journal the cheapest i've seen it on the Schoolastic site for £2.99: shop.scholastic.co.uk/products/115784

However there is an expensive delivery charge for orders under £25.

I also found a bargain Goosebumps bundle of 27 books for £39.99 ( a bargain indeed considering each book is around £5 on Amazon etc). shop.scholastic.co.uk/products/114457

So i managed to waive the delivery fee as my total was way over £25. I also earned a local school £10 odds to spend on books - so feeling quite chuffed about that.

Just thought i'd share in case there are any other JoJo/Goosebumps fans around. Smile

MotherOfTea · 08/09/2017 11:28

Just a note about the BooHoo mermaid blankets. You can only apply one voucher code at a time. So you can't get the £1.50 delivery and the 30kids code together unfortunately - just tried! Sad

Matilda2013 · 08/09/2017 11:29

Not sure if someone has said but Sky VIP are doing free Disney on ice tickets to Glasgow Manchester and Newcastle. Glasgow is sold out but the other are coming soon. Missed out myself but might be more useful for others

endoftheworldasweknowit · 08/09/2017 11:53

Big Flowers to whoever posted about the mouse rat t-shirt for £5 - got overexcited and gave it to DH already and he loves it Smile.. Ps I got large and he's usually a medium and it's only a tiny bit big

EmGee · 08/09/2017 12:26

I'm looking for mermaid tails in pinks/purples. Boo Hoo only have turquoise and orange. Any other suggestions where to look please?

MotherOfTea · 08/09/2017 12:29

Asda have a purple mermaid blanket, EmGee

direct.asda.com/george/home-gardens/blankets-throws/purple-mermaid-blanket/050165748,default,pd.html

It's adult-sized though. May be okay if its an older child/teen you're buying for?

AceyMcLaughlin · 08/09/2017 12:34

Not really an Xmas bargain, but a bargain nonetheless, lloyds pharmacy are selling the mint and mango original source shower gel minis (50ml) for 59p and free c&c. Ordered one of each for hubbys stocking as he travels a lot!

AceyMcLaughlin · 08/09/2017 12:34

Helps if I include the link 😂 www.lloydspharmacy.com/en/original-source-mint-and-tea-tree-shower-50ml-6012899

KitKatCHA · 08/09/2017 12:41

I've just seen this link to ebay bestsellers shared, looks pretty good lots of cheap stocking fillers in the toys section.

Carrie76 · 08/09/2017 12:57

My bedroom athletics order arrived today, thanks for whoever posted the link. One of the boxes had mismatched sizes in it, make sure to check them before you stash them away for Christmas!

ScarletSienna · 08/09/2017 13:11

What was the Ness purse link? Can't find it! Thanks.

MrsCrimbo74 · 08/09/2017 13:14

I'd like to recommend this 240 games in one mini arcade game. I got it last year for my DS and it's brilliant, it keeps him amused on long car journeys or distracts when he's feeling poorly etc. In fact DH likes to have a little dabble on it as well. It's £15.99 which is the cheapest place I can find it with free delivery

Any jojo maman Bebe codes about? I found a mumsnet one for 10% but I'm greedy!

JangleJangleJangle · 08/09/2017 13:33

nickdrakeslovechild - pic looks great! Thanks. Def going to order some. Do you know which seller you brought from?

cuddles159 · 08/09/2017 13:39

penstemom I have 2 boys 6 and 3 and for their birthdays we brought them these...not very good at doing short cuts but they use them everyday inside the house and outside they both love them...best presents we have brought I think
FLICKER SWING CAR RIDE ON SWIVEL SCOOTER TOY KIDS WIGGLE GYRO TWIST & GO GIFT (Blue) www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B018144GSS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_H6OSzb5NHZA7Z?tag=mumsnetforum-21

GardenWorm · 08/09/2017 14:00

This book gets great reviews and has extra 20% off (automatically applied at checkout to sale items) plus free delivery at mo on Seasalt
Also Frugi has free delivery and if you buy a full priced item you get an extra 30% off their sale bits (some nice baby clothes in there)

Annwithnoe · 08/09/2017 14:19

bogiesaremyonlyfriend I can't remember for certain but I think there were at least 15% off Disney offers around last year in October, and free delivery at one point, and I think I remember that one of the mumsnet one day only offers was 20%
Be warned though their packaging was not discreet,
