Oh, how could I forget.
I'm not brave enough to take them all out yet but DD was sick last night and threw up over the side of our bed... The mattress doesn't quite cover the slats... And there were quite a few presents under there. Mainly for non-family children. I've reached in and wiped everything but I'm worried there will be smells or stains.

youokay the Mog toy from last year? With the book?

chicaguapa · 19/11/2017 21:15

I'm so pleased loads of people are getting the L'Occitane candle. I haven't got mine yet as I've decided to go in store this week and get them in RL. I'm trying not to twitch and buy them for everyone because they're so lovely and they're for charity.

Just ordered a 5 set of Percy Jackson books from The Works for £9.60.
They were £12 but I used the NOW20 code as I had ordered over £10 worth of stuff and selected click and collect.
Been on the lookout for them for a while for DS1 and they had been out of stock or more expensive so was really pleased to get them cheaper.
For anyone not able to click and collect they are available from The Works on Amazon for £12 with free delivery.

I didn’t get a Lakeland voucher with my woolovers order. However I did get a new leaflet for hotel chocolat at £6.95 using
Hotelchocolat.com/woolovers
20% + free delivery off Pia jewellery (PC17L)
Also a leaflet about laithwaites wine but think it’s certain offers, no code

Changingagain · 19/11/2017 21:21

drspouse could you get it from anywhere that will do click and collect near work? I'm not allowed to get anything delivered to work either so I got DH's present from tesco click and collect, picked it up in my lunch break, and now have it sat under my desk.

drspouse · 19/11/2017 21:23

changing Ooh I could do that with something from Tesco. It's quite big and I was hoping to get it from eBay but some sellers do click and collect from Argos.

Just bought wild bananagrams for £6.59 delivered on Amazon - looks like a good price?

Serendipitystardust · 19/11/2017 21:31

Can anyone recommend nice (preferably bargainous) kids umbrellas - need one for a boy, one for a girl, ideally with the slide up/down folding mechanism. The Hatley ones are lovely but can't bring myself to pay that much. Thanks.

NoWordForFluffy · 19/11/2017 21:34

Serendipity, I got a lovely brolly in store at Mountain Warehouse for DD. She loves it!

Notlongnow1 · 19/11/2017 21:35

Any wooden train set bargains around? Preferably Brio but not essential. Or are they likely to be in a Black Friday sales at all?

wintersdawn · 19/11/2017 21:37

Notlongnow Lidl had good wooden track sets that do fit with Brio in last week not sure if you can still pick some up.

I’ve discovered a shop called Typo recently, I’ve walked past it many times in Stratford but always thought it was v pricey but it isn’t! If you sign up to their mailing list you get 20% off your first order.

It’s got some quite cool quirky bits that have done for a fair few teens on my list. If there’s a store near you then they do initial embossing on the notebooks and they have some really lovely “leather” gift card holders I store for £2 that you can get embossed which make a gift card gift a bit extra special!

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 19/11/2017 21:51

Apologies, try this link

slimyslitheryslug · 19/11/2017 21:54

Serendipity I got Hatley umbrellas for both of my DC in TK Maxx a couple of months ago. Anything Hatley that my DC have ever owned is from TK Maxx

ShiftyMcGifty · 19/11/2017 21:55

Youokayhun, build a bear do cats and they have Christmas outfits including elf and santa hats

caffeineanddryshampoo · 19/11/2017 22:03

Does anyone else keep reading the L'Occitane code as "ANAL LOVE"? It doesn't help that I first read it under a post about buying toys from Love Honey.

Curiousgeorgey · 19/11/2017 22:10

Can anyone recommend a budget planner?

Thinking of getting my sister one as a present. Its also her birthday so may give her it then or for christmas. Shes a single mum quite recently and very recently bought a house for the very first time.

She admits that she struggles to control her finances so id like to get her a planner to help her.

Was thinking something like this

[[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/1517462231/ref=mp_s_a_1_13?keywords=budget+planner&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&tag=mumsnetforum-21&ie=UTF8&qid=1511129066&sr=8-13 ]]

But obviously can't see inside so if anyone could recommend one id be very grateful

NorthernLurker · 19/11/2017 22:19

Christmas cat teddy -have a look at jelly cat. They may do something that will work

Pigleychez · 19/11/2017 22:34

Ohh struggling to keep up with theses fast moving threads :)

The M&S codes... is there a minimum spend?

Theonlyoneiknow · 19/11/2017 22:37

Thank you @apocketofstars for the codes !

MarriedAroundChristmas · 19/11/2017 22:37

@GirlWithTheYellowHat Many thanks for the Pia code.

SurvivalOfTheUnfittest · 19/11/2017 22:39

Ok, I am after otter teddies. I have a little Finding Dory one, a bigger one, a swimming on his back one and one from a sea life centre, but apparently, I need one more! (DS2 has not asked for anything else!)

Wait4nothing · 19/11/2017 22:46

Do mac cosmetics ever have discounts? Is there a good place to buy? Only wanting 1 mascara so may not qualify for much
