jesus have you tried h&m for hoodie - I've bought things for dd with pugs on in there. Also for a ring binder you could get a plain one and cover in vinyl stickers of his favourite bands or posters with clear sticky back plastic over the top 😀

JangleJangleJangle if you go onto Amazon and type in 'locker bank' there are some cool locker style safes. Just an idea Smile

Another town, another Debenhams and scored DC Superheroes Lego Harley Quinn to the rescue for £12.50 (half price).
Then followed that up by getting Bananagrams £7.50 from The Entertainer AND Pairs in Pears for £3.00. Grin

According to Scotts of Stow,

High-tech microfibre has become popular for bedlinen as it offers so many benefits, not least of which are its easycare properties. It washes efficiently at low temperature, drip-dries quickly and needs little or no ironing. The polyester microfibre yarns are microscopically fine, one-hundredth the diameter of a human hair. As a result it is incredibly soft to the touch and can be woven very tightly, which is one reason it stays crease-free.

So not like a duster. Grin

Ahhhh. That's more like it, chica 😁

JesusDontWantMeForASunbeam · 10/09/2017 09:18

Ooh the eBay hoodies look like they'd fit the bill, thanks.

tootsieglitterballs · 10/09/2017 09:19

@NoWordForFluffy nothing like those Christmas aisles like that here yet! I did find Tesco had started theirs the other day (and I may have bought some plum, pear and cinnamon pies which were quite nice!) . They did have some good deals on though, and most had good shelf dates.

tootsieglitterballs · 10/09/2017 09:21

Also... thanks for all the recommendations for camelcamelcamel - how have I not used this sooner! Downloaded about 8pm last night, and by 9pm had made 2 purchases that dropped in price in the space of that hour!

Badders08 · 10/09/2017 09:21

I would also try Primark for pug stuff

NoWordForFluffy · 10/09/2017 09:22

Clearly the shoppers in the NW like their Christmas stock in early, tootsie 😂🎄

I purposely didn't look closely at it...I'll be the size of a house by Christmas if I start on it now! 🐷🐷🐷

MotherOfTea · 10/09/2017 09:28

Does anybody know when the next Argos 3 for 2 deal is on? More importantly, does this include skateboards and scooters?

My daughter wants a light up scooter and light up skateboard.

Anyone had their deliveries from Wish yet and can feedback on quality? I'm loving their stuff but don't want to order if it's just crap tat, I will avoid anything plastic for my kids.

A small recommendation too, can the link to the new thread be on page 40 next time? I scrolled for ages and still couldn't find it.

SlatternIsTrying · 10/09/2017 10:39

Jesus I sent you a pm for Pug hoodie

Rocky, thanks for the Wonderbly code! Just used it for the Golden Ticket book.

Going to make a chocolate bar with a Golden Ticket inside to put with the book. My DS is going to love it! I'm already excited to give it to him. 😁

SideOrderofSprouts · 10/09/2017 13:33

I love that as next thread title!! reastie

yumyumpoppycat · 10/09/2017 13:37

[GRIN] @ Jesus I sent you a PM re pug hoodie!

Hi Reastie {waves} and lovely Christmas bargain hunters! Can I join in please, have used these threads a few years but unfortunately my children's toy strewn bedrooms means I am going to have to be more restrained say that every year

Kraggle · 10/09/2017 13:40

I've ordered a few things from Wish and they are just starting to trickle through. I ordered a ten pack of those pencils that have multicoloured lead and they look ok along with a blow up tray to put kinetic sand in, not blown it up but it looks decent enough.

I'm still waiting for one of those mermaid tear necklaces, a moana necklace, and a couple of other bits, just stocking fillers for dd.

I've previously ordered some shopkins and Lego figures (last year) and they've been good quality.

JesusDontWantMeForASunbeam · 10/09/2017 13:42

😂 I only have this nn as it cracks me up seeing Jesus referenced with random things. And it's an awesome song. But mainly the references an

Thanks for the pm.

Badders08 · 10/09/2017 13:48

Ive ordered some Pokemon stuff from wish for ds2 either for his b day if it arrives in time or Xmas

Cupoteap · 10/09/2017 14:45

I've had a couple things arrive (not xmas related) it's basically the eBay China stuff imo but often a bit cheaper

NeverEnoughSleep1 · 10/09/2017 14:46

Does anyone have any advice on the Nintendo switch and suitable age ranges? Thinking of getting it for older DC but would a 5 year old be able to understand and play with it?
