sock he's something alright. £37 in total from him this year, and only when CMS had it deducted from his benefits. He then signed off and is cock lodging with his girlfriend so there's nothing to take maintenance from. It's no bloody wonder I've got depression and anxiety.

Probably been mentioned waaaaaay back but I got haribo advent calendars for the kids from b&m for a fiver, and reeses peanut butter cups one for me for a fiver too.

margarita would the Lego drone mentioned upthread be any good? At least it can be rebuilt when it crashes.

Has anyone here got the "lego" Christmas train from Ali express? I really can't justify the real one but is this a false economy?

And in general, how late is to late to order from china?

ItsNiceItsDifferentItsUnusual · 23/09/2017 18:14

LetThereBe that was me! Glad you were pleased with them. I ordered them for ds1's party bags, his birthday is the week of Christmas, and was chuffed to get something so nice looking for that price.

NaturalBlondeYeahRight · 23/09/2017 18:14

Ann I usually receive anything from Aliexpress within 4 weeks, a couple of bits (and I've ordered a lot!) have taken 6/7 weeks.

Avoca76 · 23/09/2017 18:21

I need to get the Sylvanian Seaside Ice Cream Shop set and ideally some extra figures. I've also seen the school dinner set which looks fun. Anyone know the cheapest place to get these?

Coldilox · 23/09/2017 18:27

Just bought a few t shirts and hoodies from Saltrock. Lots of bargains there and the quality is fab.

This link gets you a further 25% off, and credits me with £10 too.

Jfw82 · 23/09/2017 18:28

Margaritas secret sales have this one secretsales.com/listing/?col=24963 it's £33 plus a fiver postage. No idea how good it is but have ordered one for DH for one of his birthday or Christmas

Doseydots · 23/09/2017 18:29

I have just been looking at them fingerlings, they look and sound ever so good, do you think my yr7 11 year old dd would be too old for one ?

WheresTheCoffee · 23/09/2017 18:41

My QVC box came today too, it's fab! Thank you to the poster who shared it Flowers

I picked this up for non sporty DS today, they were selling fast! metal detector

AbagailsFancy · 23/09/2017 18:45

Thanks for the mascara heads-up, missed it the first time!

InTheRoseGarden · 23/09/2017 18:50

batty not cheap, and their website is difficult to navigate but I buy non-leather leather goods from Matt and Nat e.g.

mattandnat.com/shop/collections/unify-vintage-collection/rubben-black

margaritasbythesea · 23/09/2017 19:13

Thanks for the drone information. I will check them all out.

yumyumpoppycat · 23/09/2017 19:26

Avoca I am not sure but think some of the sylvanian icecream and seaside stuff was in the George at asda sale

FoofFighter · 23/09/2017 19:33

@Doseydots yes a fingerling would be probably cast aside very fast, they really don't do anything other than squeak

FoofFighter · 23/09/2017 19:35

@WheresTheCoffee think that was me :) looking forward to getting mine!

TimeForMy10thCuppa · 23/09/2017 19:40

I have no idea how to reply to a poster. Or bold the name, but

FoofFighter, was the shimmer and shine busy book the same orice as the trolls? Dd would love this.

EnglishRose1320 · 23/09/2017 19:41

Pretty sure this has been mentioned on a previous thread but had a quick look and can't see it. What is the cheapest way to get a Nintendo switch. Ds1 has decided he needs one, being autistic he has decided out of the blue and with total passion, is now literally his only talking point. Think I am going to have to try and let him down gently, they are so expensive. When I mentioned that it was quite an expensive gift he said that was fine he wouldn't have any presents for birthdays and Christmas until we could afford it, however in reality he isn't actually going to cope with waiting or only having 1 gift so don't know what to do.

TimeForMy10thCuppa · 23/09/2017 19:41

Damn it, i meant price.

VoldemortsNipple · 23/09/2017 19:45

Adidas has up to 50% sale on plus 12% cash back through quidco. I have found adidas has gone so expensive over the last few years so ds2 will be delighted.
