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

@Gentlygently primark have a nice twin pack that ds just got for his birthday & they're ok

Im sure I read somewhere that Primark and doing matching Harry potter PJ's for the whole family.
I'm sure D's has a couple of random pairs of hp bottoms from there from the bargain bin.

Asda have harry potter pyjamas too.

Thank you for the Debenhams Code above KOKO12. I got the Chilly's bottle too. Perfect for pernickety males in my family!

Also gentlygently there Is a kids onesie in Tesco that is nearly the same print as the men's pyjamas bottoms.

Thanks - I looked on the primark website but I find it very unfriendly to use - if I type pyjamas in the search box it only comes up with two in total, which is clearly nonsense!

@LutherRalph1 apparently Asda were selling off ball pit balls really cheap - I think £2 for 100 or something ridiculous like that. Just depends on whether your store has any stock left I suppose.

@Wiifitmama if you've checked eBay too then I'd suggest the 3 book set with feasts & the other one. Persiana is a wonderful cookbook - changed rice for us forever!

gently the primary website doesn't have all the stock listed on, it just has a few 'highlights'.

Has anyone got any thoughts on the Happy Tassimo machine? It’s only £30 at Curry’s but am wondering if it’s crap?
DH is the only one that drinks coffee in our house and I think he’d like it but I’d rather pay a bit more if this one is rubbish!

@buckijeet thanks for the suggestion. We have Feasts already (and DH cooks from it every week!). However, the three book set is a good idea as I could gift the other two to DH and then have Feasts as a gift for someone else. Amazon have the 3 book set for £25 (third party) so that is not a bad price per book!

Stocking filler on amazon . Go into other sellers .

I really don’t like my tassimo. I don’t like the coffees I find they are really strong and bitter. Much prefer the ones I’ve had from dolce gusto.

@Wiifitmama - we have feasts too but I'm off to but scirocco for dh now 😁

I love my Tassimo but mostly buy the Costa pods. They are 3 for £10 in Tesco atm including the new gingerbread latte flavour. DH likes it too though he mostly drinks expressos and Americanos, it's trial and error to find your favourite pods. Supermarkets are good for the more mainstream ones but the Tassimo site has a bigger range and I've found a great selection in poundstretcher of the less common ones incl decaff expresso pods.

M&Co have some Harry Potter Pyjamas @Gentlygently currently some 50% off

Thank you @Elphaba17. He’s partial to a Costa, so that’s good to know! What machine do you have? Are they all much of a muchness?

Whoknows I have the Tassimo suny, my mum has the vivy model, and coffee tastes the same from both so id say they are much of a muchness. I really like the look of the happy model and the selection of colours, I'm really tempted by the cream one so am sitting on my hands as I really don't need a new one. Or do I.... lol this Xmas bargain thread has a lot to answer for

M&S codes. End tomorrow.

@imsorryiasked thank you that beginners one would be perfect.
Is there a way of stock checking lidl? As haven’t go a local one. But have 3 not too far but in opposite directions

Sadly not AtSea1979

Hello again all! Finally checking in to this thread, although I'm another one sitting on my hands until pay day.

Thanks to whoever posted the personalised decorations from studio though, very cute for my mum from my little one.

@Gentlygently, I bought these Harry Potter pyjamas from character.com. On sale £4.95 and they are good, Bought them for my 10 year old who is probably more the size of an 11 year old. Bought him size 11-12 and they are quite big on him so plenty of growing room. Have a pattern on the trousers (my DS likes to just wear bottoms too). DS finds them good quality - probably not M and S standard but for the price am happy with them.

The pyjamas are a quidditch theme though so depends on what kind of Harry Potter PHs you’re after.

@Elphaba17, that’s a brilliant, thank you. I think I’ll get one. Now to decide which colour!
