Sorry, meant to add that Tesco have the paw patrol training centre half price via the entertainer. And you can see all the products Tesco do from them which is very handy with the sale stuff. Sort by price and off you go.

FoofFighter · 06/09/2017 22:09

ooh useful tip re Entertainer, thanks :)

torthecatlady · 06/09/2017 22:13

Thank you Kavlarr! I will keep a look out and try to resist spending my points until then!!

Haudyerwheesht · 06/09/2017 22:18

Are we sure the smyths 20% off will be 15/9 ? Want something for dd's birthday at end of this month but don't know whether to wait or not...

tootsieglitterballs · 06/09/2017 22:32

Didn't spy the new thread! Just posted on the old one, whoops!

HerRoyalFattyness · 06/09/2017 22:40

For anyone that may be interested, dragon ball z monopoly is being released on the 17th September.
£28 is the cheapest I've found it so far (pre order)

nocutsnobuttsnococonuts · 06/09/2017 23:02

ohholy my dd quite likes horrible histories - she's 8. They are historically correct and while it's full of funny stuff they do have all the gruesome bits of history. But no worse than what they will end up learning at school, just be prepared to have your history knowledge tested randomly with out if the blue questions 😂 You can get horrible geography/science/famous people which may be a way of trying the style of books without the gory bits! Maybe borrow a few from the library before buying a boxset.

That doll is one of the creepiest I've seen - that is banned from my house... nightmare inducing 😨

SockEatingMonster · 06/09/2017 23:22

Fucking hell. I am so unbelievably relieved that my children are not into baby dolls.

Did the people who made it not see Chucky?!

SharkInThePark · 06/09/2017 23:28

That doll is scary!

I'm more a lurker but thanks for the hobby craft snow globe link. Managed to get one in store today along with the Halloween haunted house felt. We've had the tree one for the last two years and the kids love it.

Struggling for my ds. He'll be 4 at end of year so Birthday and xmas ideas. Totally at a loss. He loves puzzles and his wooden train and duplo/Lego junior but we're overrun with that now. Loves crafting but we've a lot of that stuff too.

Also what's kinetic sand I saw mentioned - is it any decent and more importantly how messy is it!?

@Snausage Harris tweed slippers were from Bedroom Athletics sale There was a 10% off code on the last thread somewhere.

SnowBodyforrrrm · 06/09/2017 23:46

Haha I thought it might cause a stir I searched out the creepiest picture I could find just for you

Xmas Grin

Thanks for the heads up about the preorder freezing I wouldn't have thought to look there. Having said that, maybe there won't be the predicted stampede for her judging by your reactions 😂

Annwithnoe · 07/09/2017 06:19

High maintenance that was a fantastic price for heelies! But they didn't have the sizes I want Sad hopefully there will be another offer like that

If anyone comes across smiggle codes please shout, I want to get a bag for dd

Annwithnoe · 07/09/2017 06:21

My sensitive 8 year old did not take to horrible history at all, despite having a slapstick sense of humour and an interest in history. Maybe try one before committing to a boxset, just in case.

ItsNiceItsDifferentItsUnusual · 07/09/2017 06:53

Fuelled so you happen to have a code for Joules 25% off? I can't find anything on their homepage and there's a bobble hat I need in my life Grin

Batteriesallgone · 07/09/2017 07:06

Just googled it ItsNice think the Joules code is TUNNEL

AlwaysOldBeforeMyTime · 07/09/2017 07:17

Hornet scramblebug toddler scooter thing is down to £19.99 at Amazon which seems to be about the best price they go to!

Jfw82 · 07/09/2017 07:22

Itsnice if that doesn't work I've just been sent RAIL25 for 25% off joules

xTinkerhellx · 07/09/2017 07:23

Was there a promo code or referral thingy for secretsales?

If so please link me! I want neeeeeed shoes.

Thank you!

GinAndSonic · 07/09/2017 07:28

Any Alice in wonderland ideas for a 6yo girls who's birthday is next Wednesday and I'm not prepared Shock

xTinkerhellx · 07/09/2017 07:30

@GinAndSonic if there's a Disney store near you, check it out. My local one (Westfield Stratford) had a ton of cute Alice in Wonderland stuff reduced.

Soslowmo · 07/09/2017 07:31

Ann might be right - We had a few individual horrible histories books and although sensitive ds wasn't phased by them, he hasn't really read much of them unfortunately

imsorryiasked · 07/09/2017 07:45

Those of you searching for Unicorn items - may I suggest that this is what you need?!

Jennywallpaper · 07/09/2017 08:02

Herroyalfattyness my DH would love the dragonballz monopoly, where is it from please?
These treads are brilliant, I've been watching for lots of ideas. Thank you all!!

chocolatepudandchocolatesauce · 07/09/2017 08:07

GinAndSonic if you are near Bournmouth there is an Alice in Wonderland mini theme park there that my 6year old DD loved

ItsNiceItsDifferentItsUnusual · 07/09/2017 08:11
