Thank you for all the congrats and messages on the last thread. I didn’t reply to all of them as I thought it might be dull reading for everyone but I really appreciate the advice, understanding and general congratulatory comments. Bad news is I’m still stuck on the sofa feeling sick, but at least it won’t last forever (thank goodness!).

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

Iggi it took me ages to set up Alexa and I had all sorts of problems. I read online they are having huge Alexa issues today and they aren’t all working properly so it’s not you if you’re having issues! I’m leaving mine now until tomorrow.

Thank you whoever did the crane link months ago

Babychips loves his so much he hasn’t stopped playing with it all day!

I think 95% of the UK were setting up Alexa this morn and their servers couldn’t cope.

woodwaj · 25/12/2018 18:22

Our hit was the 12.99 Thomas minis track so thanks to whoever posted that

Iggi999 · 25/12/2018 19:40

Thanks guys, I did see online there were some Alexa problems so I hoped it wasn’t just mine! Now slowly installing an Xbox... happy days! Very little for myself but I have my sights set on the sales... Smile

Just bought this book. Have had my eyes on it for weeks, it has gone down half price an hour ago. It’s also for a good cause...

Would you please help me with the name of that shop where many have recently bought teacups and other assorted lovely things? It was mentioned here a lot some weeks ago, but I can’t remember it at all!
Thank you.

linetta1 · 25/12/2018 20:47

mycatislickingherpaw · 25/12/2018 21:01

Thank you!

Thanks for monsoon tip just got my daughter beautiful dress to be christened in for £20 not £50!

PamelaEwing · 26/12/2018 07:03

Thanks for all the links everyone. The cuddly toy llama went down a treat with unsuspecting DD who adores it, but DH (and in-laws) found it hilarious that I would give our child a phallic shaped llama! 😂

poshredrose · 26/12/2018 08:42

Reastie and so many others who shared links and offers, thank you so much.

The dc were thrilled yesterday and we had a fantastic day.
I've been on a tight budget this year and you have all helped xx

Methenyouplus4 · 26/12/2018 09:19

I haven't been on in a few weeks as I was finished, but HUGE thanks to Reastie and all who contributed.

Big hits were Robot wars hex bug areana (got for £30), fortnite socks (linked on here for about), and the cat hairband/gloves (again about £3 on here).

Methenyouplus4 · 26/12/2018 09:20

Just wondered, would is there an equivalent year round 'bargain' thread? For birthday gifts/general bargains?

ChristmasDaydreams · 26/12/2018 09:24

@Methenyouplus4 I’ve been wondering the same too!

NoWordForFluffy · 26/12/2018 09:34

The prequel thread could always be a year-round bargain thread maybe? Could be a winner, couldn't it?

choccybiscuit · 26/12/2018 09:35

Anyone know of a discount code for new look?

tinysnickersaremyfavourite · 26/12/2018 09:39

Hi all. I had name changed recently but have had lots of help and advice from these threads.
So massive thanks to Reastie and the other posters for all the ideas and bargains.

ChristmasDaydreams · 26/12/2018 10:00

I used to always go on the mse bargain forum but it went rubbish!
Defo think a year round bargain thread could work Grin

NewDayBlankPage · 26/12/2018 10:54

Thanks reastie and all (especially @jammiebammie for the skipper doll help). Hope you all had a lovely day.

CheekyFucker · 26/12/2018 16:15

JellycatElfie · 26/12/2018 16:25

Homebase have the official elf on the shelf dolls for £5.

woodwaj · 26/12/2018 18:49

This thread does run all year sideorderofchips looks after it :)

Reastie · 26/12/2018 19:31

I haven’t found anything online in the sales yet, very disappointing

I need a hatchimal. Either an owlicorn or a hatchimals mystery. Ideally under £30. If anyone spots one, especially if they sopt an owlicornm for £30something, I'd be glad. Is there a sales thread?
