Thread 5 - Jesus I sent you a pm about a pug hoodie

[Reastie]

See post two for some helpful links. Here's to a budget conscious yet amazing Christmas.

Isadora-you can link them to your phone, spotify playlists, radio, smart TVs & ask lots of questions. If you've never seen one it will be at least 2-3 hours of fun on Christmas Day!

I don't understand at all what Alexa or Dots do. Like what technology do you need to go with them? What do they actually do?

I would love to get 9yo dd1 Hogwarts castle Lego set for Xmas but it's so expensive. It wouldn't actually be a main gift as she wants a new tablet - so it would just be an extra I'd like to build with her 😂

Has anyone ever brought the fake Lego sets from Aliexpress etc? Are they any good?

@buckeejit thanks.
I've now ordered the bundle for our house and two dots as well with £30 using the HELLO30 offer. One for my sister and BIL and the other for ds who is 20.

Tentative, try going back in and ordering a different one tomorrow? Last year it only let me order them individually.

I'm so many years behind you all on the hotel chocolat front... what do I do? Order tasting club and then immediately cancel?

Gah! Bloody fire engine is on my list of things to buy and I've bloody missed it 😭

Excellent thread title 😂

Thanks for the thread Reastie

Lego friends calendar is OOS but looks like they expect more. 3 children so would have been perfect! Expensive but they get a lot of pleasure from them - probably more than from one £25 lego set. We carefully opened and reused an old star wars and lego friends ones a few times now - all the pieces are in mini envelopes behind their doors to stop them falling out. We have also done smiggle where all 3 share for the past 2 years but I think we are done with that now.

Oh no steppedon -maybe it will come back in stock, or stay half price and go on 3 for 2 if Tesco do that, would only be a little more?

Hauder dots and echos understand your voice and respond to questions like siri on an iPhone, it can connect to your amazon account and can for example play audio books you have purchased through amazon, or play music in your account (from when you buy cds from amazon that also with downloads), you can also enable apps so that it can play trivia or quiz type games (yes Sire is excellent), or tune into any radio stations via the internet (dp listens to his home town's local station), you can also ask it for a news round up or the weather and it can do very simplistic internet searches.

Thank so yumy so it's a stand alone thing? What's an Alexa then???

What is the hotel chocolat offer please?

Chocolate oranges £1 in Co-op

Thanks for the Matalan codes Snausage!

I'm sure that Playmobil veterans will cope with this, but I assembled the fire engine for DN last year and it took FOREVER. With young children, I'd really recommend putting the bloody thing together first (maybe starting this month )

Has anyone seen any deals on playdoh?

Also looking out for a wooden dolls cot/crib if anyone spots a deal

Thanks Reastie,
Snausage pls can you delist the Matalan code, I've scrolled back but can't seem to find it on the last thread?? Thanks!

Morning🙂 place marking. Cuppas anyone☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️

Jojos bows are still 5 for £5 in Claire's. Instore only

I hope I ordered 2 fire engines, neither of which have specific people attached to them yet, so would be happy to post to you if you wanted to buy one of them? Not sure how big the box re. postage costs is but could let you know when it arrives.

Wilko's had their Christmas stock in my local one yesterday.

Ooh the Asda toy sale is fab! Just got the Playmobil children's hospital half price down from £60 to £30. I've been waiting for this to drop for a long time!

Whoever was after that Playmobil treehouse, its reduced from £49 to £42 (not a massive bargain) but at least its in stock if you needed it?

Also a Playmobil truck with speedboat half price at £17.50

And loads of Sylvanian Families bits and bobs reduced.

Shestood that's weird, maybe it's area related...I'll try again and see...

Morning all

Home bargains were starting to put xmas stuff out yesterday.
Had this xmas eve box which I think was £8

side have you got a link to the jojo bows on flakes website by any chance? im looking through but there's way to many, thanks

It's probably down to stock in various warehouses across the country, I'd have thought.
