Thread 2 - Is it just me that thinks Private Twinkle jewellery sounds rude

[Reastie]

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

Hello everybody nice to be back again, could someone give me a link to the 20 birthday cards for £1 on the works I can't find them and when I put in birthday cards only gift wrap comes up, also does anyone know what the teepee mentioned above is like quality wise ? as in would it withstand some rough play, thanks a million

Lots of final reductions in the Joules sale with an additional 20% off if you use 20CLEAR

Thank you imsorryiasked

Also big thanks to the person who recommended the discounted Seventeen make up on Boots.com. It’s taken me a while to get round to looking, but very glad I did.

I’m finally back from my holiday! Hope I haven’t missed too much.

Toys for a pound order placed with some plastic tat for stockings.

I can’t remember if anyone has recommended the Zoomer Show Pony yet. It has been on my radar for a while as it is £28 at Amazon (down from £80). I assume it’s cheap as there is a unicorn version now out (at £80). We saw one at a friend’s house last week and both DD1 (aged 5.5) and DD2 (aged 2.5) LOVED it! My friend said it was quite good as teaching the pony tricks involved skills similar to coding and there are different levels so it can grow with them. It also made fairly realistic pony noises so not too annoying compared to other noisy toys IMO... I’ve bought one for DD1’s birthday in early Jan.

Thank you for LaRedoutecotton bedding recommendation for children. Am I right in thinking it doesn't come with a pillow case though? From what I can see, you have to buy them separately and the pillow cover is a French square shape?

I got my DD a personalised sack for £9.50

I think I've looked at every ice cream truck themed toy going but if anyone sees anything once cream truck related could you let me know? DD (7) is mad for ice cream trucks

There's definitely various Lego ice cream-based sets. I think Lego Friends especially.

@Methenyouplus4, I've just looked and I think you're right re the pillowcase.

Whatwillicallmyself. The offer is instore only I'm afraid, hope you have one near you.

Thanks @Singingitoverandoverandover

@Lacypants if you search Amazon for "ice cream van" there is a light and sound diecast model by teamsterz and also a bedding set, and an apron?
I'm assuming that is the van/ truck she's into rather than just ice cream?

@JurassicGirl hang on for the Lego Friends calendar - last year Asda had two days where all their calendars were reduced to £10-15 (rather than £20-30). I got DH’s Lego Star Wars one then. I wish I could remember when it was but I can’t! Keeping an eye on it.

Teabird thanks for that I was driving myself mad going through their site trying to find them😕

lacypants does she have an ice cream van storage thing?this storage chest is also a seat and is an ice cream van? £20 down to £4.99 at the book people?

Also Lego juniors do an ice cream van set, mothercare rosebud wooden stuff used to have one maybe not anymore..
willow have a die cast one I have seen thts very detailed.
Shopkins have one too and a beados version of one if that’s any good

Hey, just been on the works website and they have squishies reduced to 75p then half price with the code SQUISH. That's 37p. Just picked some up for my kids for stocking fillers...they love squishies!

Tesco have 30 sharpies reduced from £25 to £10

Quidco also have 17% cashback at The Works.

The Shopkins one looks like she would like it, and now I'm thinking about the kinetic sand ice-cream sets too. I've just found a pop up tent that is an ice cream van too, so I'm considering that plus a load of ice cream shaped squishies for her to sell.

Methenyouplus4 there are lots of lovely 100% cotton duvet sets in Matalan.

Some great tip offs here - thank you! I’ve placed joulesoutlet (notebooks and scarves and a few baby bits), Laura Ashley (Christmas dominos and skittles set) and Le Redoute orders (faux fur gilet for the wee ones Christmas Day outfit and cough a pair of boots for me cough)

First baby due next week so mat leave boredom has a lot to answer for!

Absolutely perfect plate and bowl on the Joules site for my friends DD...toying between putting it on tha credit card or risking it going before Friday payday!

I got an email from Anuj! My mesh bags are on their way
