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

If anyone else's kids want the new scented pillow pets the Pillow pets website is selling them for buy one get one half price which seems like a good deal since i need to buy two. www.pillowpets.co.uk/scented/sweet_scented_gummi_pup.htm

Lacypants Not sure how old your DD is, but they have a new Playmobil Ice Cream Van and there is also a Sylvanian Families Ice Cream Van.

Scratch that as if now saying i can't get another scented one half price. Boooo!!!

I remember something last year about magazine subscriptions.
I have just seen an offer for the first five issues of Simply Sewing magazine for £5, then goes up to normal price, pay by direct debit.
Can I cancel the direct debit after getting the first 5 magazines ?

I ordered from them last year and parcel went missing and they refunded without any hassle. So I can’t vouch for the products but the customer service was fine.

@Singingitoverandoverandover comic book arrived today and looks great for £3, thanks

@woodpigeons yes just cancel the direct debit once you've received the first magazine.

Thank you imsorry and thank you everyone for this thread.
I’ve got loads of presents already.

@Lacypants this one looks ideal if a little pricey. Might be worth holding out for a deal / eBay?

your welcome ohholy 🤗
Has anyone found a good science set? DS7 got one last year and he was so disappointed it was rubbish. Full of bits but you had to have a lot of stuff in the cupboards to make it work and we didn’t.
He likes the idea of test tubes, goggles and experiments! Are any of them
Actually any good?!

Disney top trumps cube match game £4.75 add on item amazon! (£16 Asda)

If anyone has anyone that loves Minecraft to buy for, I just bought a Minecraft handbook for 2.99 from B&M. They have most of the 6 volumes.

It cost DS1 £7.49 to buy from Amazon last week, so a really good deal.

Has anyone found bargain stockings yet? I'm trying to find slightly smaller ones than the sacks they had last year!

Thanks batbear i will have a look! Always after minecraft, Pokemon and Lego bargains!

Can’t do link and apologies if already mentioned but The Range Xmas shop is online now

Guys, I need you to tell me its OK to have just spent forty pounds on 'toys for a pound'. I think I may have missed the point of getting a bargain!

Adambarlowsquiff please tell me you have at least 10 children 😂

Wood pigeons I’ve always cancelled after first issue has come

Adam - you’re well stocked for any birthday parties your kids go to

Just been into Wilkos and they have their pick n mix on half price till Tuesday . I bought some for my DDS and friends girly night over bank holiday.
They had some very reduced stocking toys in there as well, they were in the plastic tubs by the stationary . I bought robots for 10p , stretch & flip Dinos and Flamingos for 25p and top trumps for 50p. There were a lot of others there too but they were not suitable, stretchy springs 25p, tsum tsum foils for 50p, stretchy frogs and lizards 50p are ones l can remember but there were quite a few.
