Thought I’d do a ‘how to’ for a couple of things people often post about not being sure of

To do click links you do this put link in here then a space then the name or phrase you want to go with the link . Don’t put a space between the start of the link and the and then last word and the like I have or it won’t work but I had to to demonstrate.

To follow the thread without using up a post to mark place you can click on ‘watch this thread’ at the top of the first post.

Second message has a few links and info which I’ll slowly build up, let me k ow if there’s anything you’d like me to add to it Thanks

The end of season sale at Animal looks good, particularly for men and teen boys

Thanks for the Smyths links...DS1 would love one of these wild life ranger sets www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/toys/construction-and-cars/playmobil/playmobil-6936-wildlife-ranger-station-with-animal-area/p/165595

Anyone seen the Vtech DX2 watch (for a boy) anywhere for a decent price? Cheapest on amazon is £41.99 - I’m sure it was much less when my mum bought it for eldest last year. Smyths only have for collection and no where close.

DS was given one of those projectors for his birthday (a Minions one I think) and it isn't very good. The light isn't powerful enough and the pens are dark/ saturated enough

@Sockeatingmonster
We took one on holiday, played with it once in the pool. It was amazing for 10 minutes until it popped.

Thanks @TodayCrosbyToday, there is hope my Gap delivery will be here soon then :)

Finally managed to get my Roman Playnobil set and I’m so pleased with it! A bargain for £10 (and frankly, it comes in a giant box so looks good Grin )

Singingitoverandoverandover · 20/08/2018 14:55

I picked up two of these from Argos and the box is pretty big. Looks good for crafty kids

Thank you @Theimpossiblegirl, that's helped me make up my mind against them. They are off the list!

Thanks for the bath bomb photos woodwaj and the link to the Matalan Christmas section EverybodyKeepCool. Lots of cute tree decorations and throws this year.

My Gap order came today. I inadvertently became one of those people who order the same as everyone else by ordering the thin coat! And it’s really lovely 😊 not sure how far they think children are though because ds’s super skinny jeans are actually baggy jeans on him 😂 they die fine in the length though... they still look nice and are lovely quality so at least they’ll last!

Trialsmum · 20/08/2018 16:12

*fat not far

ItsNiceItsDifferentItsUnusual · 20/08/2018 16:19

Can I just ask how people are ordering the bath bombs from Mrs Snowball? Her site isn't working and I can't see buying options on her Fb page. Thank you!

imsorryiasked · 20/08/2018 16:23

my little pony 12" plush £5
Disney Rapunzel night light £5
3 pack of Minecraft mini figures and these £2
Also had some dragons race to the edge figures and a fleece blanket, lots of star wars stuff etc.

woodwaj · 20/08/2018 17:46

It'snice send a message via the messenger she got back to me really quick

MummyPig89 · 20/08/2018 18:04

Thanks for the toys for a pound recommendations, just got 13 things for £16!

SockEatingMonster · 20/08/2018 18:53

Some of the Sports Direct pop up tents are down to £18. I’m fairly sure they’ve never been the £45 advertised, but we paid £25 for ours earlier this year and it’s been worth every penny. Great for picnics and playing in the garden and folds up really small (once you’ve struggled a bit then watched the videos on how to do it on YouTube anyway...)

It would make a great present for a child who has out-grown the babyish pop up tents but still enjoys playing dens.

ItsNiceItsDifferentItsUnusual · 20/08/2018 19:09

Thank you woodwaj Smile

My son was bought this remote control car for his birthday - it climbs wall and is very, very cool! Plus it's a bargain on Amazon... Grin
I was sceptical about how well it would actually work on the wall but it really does run well; racing and spinning its way up the stairway wall was particularly impressive! (Disclaimer - we do have flat painted walls!)

Anyone who is looking for a Duplo set, Tesco Outlet on eBay have this duplo town house for £27.50 which is much cheaper than I’ve seen it anywhere else. I have ordered one for my DS hope he likes it!
