Welcome one and all, see post two for links.

This Christmas we will mostly be watching the children spinning in bilibos with their head torches on and we will be drinking pact coffee in our Emma Bridgewater polka dot mugs

For anyone that needs pirate 'stuff' (bags, bottles, pencil cases, snack boxes, lunch bags, towels etc), Tyrell Katz are having a flash sale with 30% off all pirate stuff for 48 hours (so I assume today and tomorrow, not sure exactly when it finishes).

tyrrellkatz.co.uk/all-designs/pirates.html

It's lovely stuff - dc have had other stuff of theirs in the past and even though they are definitely a bit old for it now, ds1 still has the building vehicles blanket on his bed and ds2 adores the robot stuff of their design he has in assorted things. And even i have their insect bag as my swimming bag Grin - and while it's still not cheap, any saving is better than none.

If you like their stuff but don't want the pirate design, sign up to their newsletter and they have sales on different designs or general reductions on a fairly regular basis.

My EB mugs arrived but they sent me 2 spotty ones instead of what I ordered. I used a delivery service to get them to ireland, means a replacement mug will cost me €4 in delivery Angry

SmileAndNod · 14/10/2017 15:36

First time on these threads this year - probably missed all the bargains. Sounds like I missed an EB mug!

It has probably already been mentioned but I saw a star wars annual for 2.99 instead of 7.99 in home bargains this morning.

Haudyerwheesht · 14/10/2017 15:38

Whoever was looking for the light boxes - the works have them for £8 and there's a free delivery code of 20% off code above

margaritasbythesea · 14/10/2017 15:51

May I put in another appeal for a Boden voucher please. Should this go over on the referral thread too now?

MooPointCowsOpinion · 14/10/2017 16:00

Has anyone pre-ordered the LOL big surprise this week? Did you get an email confirmation?

LetThereBe · 14/10/2017 16:03

Star Wars and Pokémon 2018 annuals are £3.49 on Amazon

InTheRoseGarden · 14/10/2017 16:05

Thank you LetThereBe I had a 50% off kids toys and books voucher in my M&S sparks offers.

I got a projector torch and festive sound machine for £3 each and a Peppa Pig book for £4. All free click and collect in store tomorrow. The book is the same price on amazon but the other two are cheaper.

ClosedAuraOpenMind · 14/10/2017 16:13

Margaritas - i've got one. PM me and i'll send it to you (on the phone app so sending a PM is a monumental faff, but replying is OKHmm)

BuffyFairy · 14/10/2017 16:16

I still have an ELC birthday club code. It runs out today. Can anyone use it?

TellMeItsNotTrue · 14/10/2017 16:16

Moo I did from smyths, I can ask the people I told about if they got one if you want?

margaritasbythesea · 14/10/2017 16:21

Fabulous ClosedAuraOpenMind. I am very grateful. Have PMd you.

LetThereBe · 14/10/2017 16:23

Rose 50% is great.
Fingers crossed they send more offers like that Smile

insertimaginativeusername · 14/10/2017 16:25

For anyone that has preordered a lol doll big surprise from toys r us...just to warn you the box identifies what's in it!

But also, I preordered one weeks ago thinking DD would spot them and want it but she's shown no interest whatsoever. If anyone is struggling to get one and lives in the Midlands area I'm happy to pass it on?

ClosedAuraOpenMind · 14/10/2017 16:40

the lol big surprise I got from toys r us came in a plain brown box (fortunately as it was delivered today when DD was about)
she hadn't seen them when I preordered it a month ago, but now has and v definitely wants one, so I am feeling quite smug Grin
but am I the only one surprised it's not a ball???

PerfumeIsAMessage · 14/10/2017 16:41

£25 M & S scarf for £5 if you spend £40 on beauty or clothing (I think)

I'm about to spend that anyway and was just browsing for % etc and found this.

MooPointCowsOpinion · 14/10/2017 16:44

Tellme yes please I'm a bit nervous, it definitely went through as a pre-order for Smyths, it gave me a code which I screen captured. But I haven't had an email to confirm!

FoofFighter · 14/10/2017 16:50

Thanks for the referrals thread @reastie - makes sense :)

PamelaEwing · 14/10/2017 17:02

Yes thanks for setting up the new separate referrals thread Reastie

woodwaj · 14/10/2017 17:06

Glad there is a referral thread! It's hard to catch up after 9 hours at work. I've also got a boden 10 of 30 code. I'll pm it to the first person that claims it on the thread :)

Iwannasnack · 14/10/2017 17:07

M&S don’t love me enough. No money off toys here. Spent the afternoon at the park and 19 month old DS was actually managing to ride DD’s scooter. She was over 3 before she got the hang of it. So that’s his Christmas present. What’s the cheapest way to get a mini micro? Is it worth spending the extra to get the 3 in 1 so he can have the loop to start with?

Stompythedinosaur · 14/10/2017 17:08

Moo I got an email confirmation from Smyths but it took about 24 hours to come.

Annwithnoe · 14/10/2017 17:09

The Lisa Angel sale has some lovely bits. I didn't buy anything last time and was very jealous of all those reporting their lovely deliveries

yumyumpoppycat · 14/10/2017 17:09

wowcher remote control dinosaurs and fingerling monkeys £9 each - not sure if inclusive of p&p toys

Love it when that happens aurora - similar here I ordered reduced lego ski lift for dd1 and dd2 thinks it is totally awesome and has put it on her list so that's an easy switch!
