So DD1 has decided she MUST have the Minnie Ear shoes that Primark are launching this autumn for £14. They are a complete copy of designer ones costing £400. Bargain, but Primark are refusing to say where or when they will be launched (obviously no online shopping)
If anyone sees or heard of any stock (London or Kent in particular) would you give me a heads up?

Morrisons have little tsum tsums (is that what they're called?) reduced to £1.50 and a Tesco have some for £1. Good for stocking fillers!

Ah MrsCrimbo I missed the cheap postage by dithering on which colour!! The red one seemed to be smaller than the rest. Still 30% may still be a good deal.

JangleJangleJangle · 08/09/2017 18:26

Thanks nickdrakeslovechild 🖒🖒🖒

JangleJangleJangle · 08/09/2017 18:28

Reastie · 08/09/2017 19:04

Wow pigley that is amazing! Does dh have all the high scores on it?!

Just a heads up I've had deliveries recently from Claire's and Smiggle. BOth had an item damaged . Smiggle have sent me out a replacement after a quick email - very easy and quick. Claire's have been a bloody nightmare - 2 ignored emails, on hold for 20 minutes only to be cut off, an
Email asking for photos in a specific format and now being ignored again. I've ordered from them quite a few times but I wouldn't again.

naturalblonde I think it's the first week of November for the Minnie heels.

Pigleychez · 08/09/2017 20:59

Reastie- Him and the DD's. I don't usually get a look in!

bogiesaremyonlyfriend · 08/09/2017 21:23

OhHolyFuck · 08/09/2017 22:11

Lost my name/wonderbly have some really nice new books including a charlie and the chocolate factory themed one but it's £20 so holding out for a discount code getting too used to bargains to pay full price!

wowl · 08/09/2017 22:13

The Smyths sale - is it only the 15th or is it that weekend? Planning to use it for Dinotrux for DS but the 15th is a Friday? Would love clarification if anyone knows! :)

I just spent a small fortune in smiggle Blush

In other festive news, this week I got tickets for Father Christmas for dd, so the stress of getting tickets (as they sell like hot cakes) is over.
