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

I've seen lots of deals for Playmobil but nothing for Playmobil 123 (the toddler range) - I don't suppose anyone knows of any going for a fair price?

Catanddogmake6 · 17/08/2018 12:34

For those Dinosaur lovers there are a series of books by Ben Garrod called So you think you know about. I would say for about 7 years on who are really into dinosaurs as it quite detailed (although my 5 year old had it read to her night after night). He was also doing a tour but not sure if still going. Both DDs really loved the show and the books. Also really like his message telling children to embrace their inner geek and follow their dreams (whether dinosaur related or not).

@PastaSauceHoarder sainsburys have 25% off the LEGO duplo if that’s any help?

CoffeeAndEnnui · 17/08/2018 12:54

Thanks for the new thread, Reastie, and for all the bargain inspiration so far. A link to the Magpie sale so many of us have benefited from might be cool. They've just restocked (including the pill and tool boxes, damn it, I was supposed to be done with those!) and have a further 20% off sale prices with code EXTRA20 according to today's email.

On holiday but must read

BadgerFace · 17/08/2018 13:10

Pasta if you are after playmobil 123 then I would set up a camelcamelcamel alert for the advent calendar as you get loads of great animals/bits in it. Ours get played with all the time.

NC Another vote for the playmobil swimming pool. My DD got it for her 3rd birthday and it still gets a lot of use 2.5 years later. My 2.5 year old also likes to put all her animals down the slide (but is quite heavy handed and I am forever reattaching the slide!). It’s also great to fill up with water (although I am mean and only do that in the summer outside. DD had it for over 6 months before I put any water in it... Grin

Need to rtft but reastie what about links to the 3 cashback sites?

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 17/08/2018 13:44

made an order on magpie, thank you coffee for the extra discount code. I missed it last time so swooped this time and got the bits i wanted

arealnamechanger · 17/08/2018 14:10

Though I don’t post much, I love these threads every year. Thank you, Reastie. It’s nice to see some familiar names again, though I change mine every five minutes. I still remember the poster who got annoyed with all the ugly slippers chat one year!

fleshmarketclose · 17/08/2018 14:19

My Magpie order came today, really lovely stuff at a bargain price, very happy.

Pixie2015 · 17/08/2018 14:19

This thread moves quick got a few stocking fillers from boots toy sale x

Smellybears · 17/08/2018 14:41

@Pixie have you a link to the toy sale please? I can’t seem to find anything on the boots website. Thank you!

OhHolyFuck · 17/08/2018 14:46

Anyone know of a very code, without opening a credit account? Ta

Reastie · 17/08/2018 14:55

Ohholyfuck I can do a recommendation but you have to have a credit account. Not sure hire much you get off. You can always close it after.

livinginhope87 · 17/08/2018 15:42

Not sure if this is helpful to anyone but I have a one time use 30% off at missguided. PM if you would like it.

TiffinBox · 17/08/2018 15:53

I'm still waiting for my magpie order. I haven't received a dispatch note either so I assume they're really behind on their orders! Grin I wonder why?!

MrsST · 17/08/2018 16:21

Following- I have a tendency to bulk buy in December and leave myself absolutely skint. Debenhams have a smallish toy sale on and there're some good offers on amazon for Xmas decs that I was looking at yesterday.
Also thanks Groot for the link! I love NT

stressbucket1 · 17/08/2018 16:27

There are some nice sock boxes on Boden website £8 instead of £20 and free delivery with code. Would make a nice practical gift. 7 pairs dinosaur and flower styles.

Spam88 · 17/08/2018 16:27

I can't remember if it's already been mentioned, but to the PP who was after dinosaur stuff there's loads on Toys for a Pound.

I bought some stuff from there earlier and am now definitely in overbuying territory. I really need to not buy any more kid stuff. Just going to have a little look at the Debenhams sale though...

stressbucket1 · 17/08/2018 16:32

boden socks

Smellybears · 17/08/2018 17:01

Can anyone tell me if mega blocks are any good for a 12 month old please? Contemplating buying a set but not sure 😂 thank you!

nugget18 · 17/08/2018 17:01

In Asda Living they had two Jurassic world Duplo sets.
T.rex tower for £6.25 down from £25
Gentle giants petting zoo £4.50 down from £18

JurassicGirl · 17/08/2018 17:02

Got my Magpie order today & really pleased with the stuff I got but it reminded me how easy it is to get a bit 'click happy' & order stuff that maybe I wouldn't have picked up in a shop Confused

Saying that the stuff is lovely quality & I was having doubts about the little tea cups I'd ordered but they are probably my favourite item & I think my Dad will like them so I'm pleased.

JurassicGirl · 17/08/2018 17:08

nugget have you got a link for the duplo? I can't find it & it sounds great!
