Thread 4 - the one where the DC go back to school and things get serious

[Reastie]

Welcome one and all, see post two for links

Impossible I was planning to but I've already returned some bastarding £6 mittens so don't have the return form anymore. Gah! I'll throw myself off this thread in shame

singadream yeah the proper Lego ones. He's going to be 11 so can't fob him off!

We don't have a Lego store here - I wonder if they do it online....

Thanks justguessing that's scrabble ordered!

Oh hello Rose think you might have found the wrong thread!

Thanks justguessing - dd has asked for the singing moana doll and £24.99 is a bargain for it!

rose most of us would trade our current partners for a hatchimal. It would have to be something really impressive for an ex!

wood 'Trade our partners for a hatchimal' Pmsl.

Post reported.

Anyone find anything decent in the Smyths sale?

I'm disappointed that the smyths sale isn't the 20% off. Have had a look through what is on sale and the sylvanian families starry point light house is reduced to £35. It's still £55 on Amazon. This is in store only though!

I think that's a good price. I have resisted buying it .... mainly because I have to leave the house to do so!

Also Rose while I'm sure summoning back ex boyfriends with magic might be a gift we could consider for those hard to buy for family members .... it's only any good if it is a bargain

Is there a voucher code for Priest Ajigar?

Gosh! Two miracles whilst I slept.

Pamela being the ultimate Christmas fairy godmother, and Rose offering to return my cheating, scumbag, now-fat ex to me! DH might not be so pleased, though. Unless D-Ex is now so infatuated with me he will do all the housework leaving me and DH to lounge in the hot tub...

I actually lol'd at your comment, woodwaj. That doesn't happen very often

Pmsl at voucher code for priest Ajigar.

Wonder if he can conjure them instead of ex-boyfriends. Or a decent Molton Brown offer or the elusive M&S Christmas food catalogue.

Hi Haudyer, I know you said you want the genuine Lego ones, but my 12 year old has been very happy with Ali Express minifigures. Last year he wanted specific Star Wars characters which I just couldn't find separately from the full sets.

The aliexprss ones are about 70p each. They are a bit stiffer to put together than genuine ones (the hand pieces are separate from the arms usually) but overall they have been great.

I'm confused, on smyths it says sale in store only but then there are items on sale online?? Are there more in store?

Freezing If you click to buy online it is only available as a collect from store. Although I'm not certain.

I text a friend who was expecting it to be 20% off this weekend. She was in store this week and asked a member of staff who said following on from problems with the last big sale where some stores were manic and police were called they are going to release offers in dribs and drabs rather than one big event.

I don't know how true that is as other posters have been told different things by smyths!

Ohholyfuck not quite bargainous... I need to work out how much I love him

I bought the moana doll online but maybe that's because it's a pre order item?

polyanthus don't suppose you have a link to the ones you bought?

Rose, what does Prince Ajigar charge for Ryan Gosling? 😁

The 13 year old has decided she wants a hatchimal and a Japanese import 3ds game for Christmas 😩

Couldn't she just want an iPhone x like all her friends will, she's always got to be awkward! I still remember the year my entire office was out there searching for a hedgehog in a cup...

There is a miss price on Argos this morning for mine craft version of Xbox at £89.99 - it's a pre order, so they will prob cancel the orders, but possibly worth a punt!

Just seen on hot deals - an Argos mis-price of Xbox one S 1tb minecraft bundle, adding for £89.99 here

Great minds @Llamacorn !

Hi all!

Has anyone seen any toddler/cot bed size Christmas bedding in their searching at all??

Any chance of Shopkins stuff being reduced in Smyths?

Is in-store a different sale to online?
