Thread 4 - I want a revenge penguin

[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

Ah that's rubbish kraggle! Think it ended yesterday. They seem to do it often enough though so hopefully there'll be another one before Christmas.

Any must-haves from studio? I'm going to order some wrapping paper (if you haven't all cleared them out) and would like to make the most of having free postage (this is why I'm skint). There's too many sections on the website for me to browse through them all.

I’m venturing up town tomorrow (no mean feat for me) any shops I should check out for bargains??

Gap are doing sales again, up to 50% off and a further discount of 15% with code MOREGAP
I know a few of you liked the gap stuff last time.

TK - re the Christmas Sylvanian House... I spent a lot of time looking for this a couple of years ago for DD and some other posters confirmed my fear that it was just a Christmas decorated version of Beechwood Hall (or whatever the main house is called).

@OhHolyFuck love those bags!

Asda have their treepots back in stock. These were popular last year (although not sure if mentioned on these threads).

At only £8 they make a substantial looking gift for awkward to buy for people. Especially if you add a pack of posh tea and biccies.

Treepot Its basically a pot thats a tree

*teapot.

Its a teapot! Thats also a tree.

If anyone finds the 048 code for free delivery from studio doesn't work, 005 worked for me.

My presents are going to look so bloody good this year.

penuchaf yes it's definitely worth going to, they had all the above like Alanamackree said and they had coats for €50 and rainmacs for €25, they also had dresses and tops, I got a lovely coat for €50, gorgeous scarf for €5, jumpers and cardigans for my mom €20 each, a blazer €50 and a make-up set that was €48 down to €5, definitely worth a visit, it's still on until Sunday.

Oh sorry replied before reading on, I see your in the UK well that would be a bit far to travel alright

Thegirlwholived is there a specific code for the 25% off at the book people I can't see it on their website, cheers.

For those doing hampers, Lakeland has buy one get one half price on chocs and sweets including Christmas themed ones!

Little stocking filler for glasses-wearers. My husband has one on his keyring and says it's great.

It's an import so you'll wait a while, but for 10p who cares?!

My son wants a laser tag game that includes 2 guns so he can play with his friends (or me). Has any1 seen any decent priced 1s?

@whatwillicallmyself see pic for book people Info

Oh @Reastie, it's not my local! I was near Glasgow. Mine just keeps the lols by the cigs 🤣

Where I work, the Slim-Fast is in security boxes. 🤔

@weescottish31 i got "laser X" two player game on Amazon a couple if weeks ago for about £35

Primark has Disney, Harry potter and friends Christmas decorations in. They are very nice too. I bought the Harry potter and Mrs Potts sets 😍 I was tempted by the Mary poppins but I'm not overly fond of baubles...

Might help if i added the photos!!

Dd has requested a fashion wheel but I can’t find anything that’s not an 80s version - anyone seen anything?

Argos eBay outlet have a paw patrol ride on for £12.99

Also Debenhams have some MLP stuff reduced. They also have Harry Potter figure dolls which I haven’t seen before.

Mine just keeps the lols by the cigs
I just assumed mine didn’t stock them. Must check if they’re classed as a high security risk around here

Dniece has announced that she’s asking Santa for “a camera to make movies with her dolls”. Complicated situation but I think she’ll be with us for Christmas as my third dc. She’s a bit vague on what kind of movies and didn’t know about stop motion until I explained it to her. I did point out that she can make movies on the family iPad (mine don’t have their own tablets yet) on her turn but she’s still looking for a camera of her own. I’m not sure where to start. Is a camcorder the way to go? Do camcorders still exist?

Someone was asking about laser tag
The strike laser tag 4 player is reduced massively from £120 to £35.

@Alanamackree and @whatwillicallmyself I'm super jealous and actually looked at flights for tomorrow! Bit ridiculous for this year but will maybe try to time a trip for next year.
