Ah toot toots. When DS was first toddling about he put the toot toot donkey down the loo, it was singing in the water. It was like the start of a really bad horror film
They are indestructible.

Can anyone recommend a vet set for my DD age 4. She saw a Playmobil vet set advertised but she has a couple of Playmobil sets and finds the teeny bits frustrating (especially with a toddler sister around).

Picked up some lovely scarves in New Look for £2 each - an oversized mustard leopard print and a couple of blanket scarves (they are big and may use one as a throw on my sofa!). Picked up double so have a couple for gifts and some for myself

If anybody knows of a very code will they throw it my way? Fallen in love with a dress waaaaaay out of my budget!

www.gruum.com/mse-shampoo/?gcid=1434320&atc=1353746&utm_source=MSE_Shampoo&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=MSE_Shampoo Noticed this on the mse email. Free shampoo bar, just pay £3.95 delivery. Only reason I’m not ordering is because you have to create an email account and I’m fed up of the amount of junk I’m receiving (especially from the bath toys product test which I didn’t even get!)

Tesco had loads of cushions in a good sale if anyone looking for cosy stuff for uni rooms
B&M has some lovely throws £5 too

@MulticolourTriangles my 4 year old dd has this and loves it. I got it from tk Maxx for about £15 so you might be able to find it cheaper.

@EvilHerbivore, I posted one this morning. £25 off min £50 spend for new credit customers. And I posted one from Very yesterday too, I think. 20% off for new customers. I don't remember them, but you could search my posts?

Tarte cosmetics have a few nice bits in the sale with free shipping and you can get a further 15% off if you sign up BUT their reviews on trust pilot are not great and it looks like it’s coming from the US so harder to chase up/problems with delivery because of this?
Has anyone ordered from them before? Don’t know if I should risk it or not!

@OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny, that's rotten luck about your local Tiger! I've been lucky so far and not found a single store without the lovely bargains. I'm South East but was assured it is nationwide. Can confirm both Westsides, Oxford Street and Chelmsford branches had active tables in the past month if that's any use.

Haven't risked the blind bags in case sweets aren't veggie but friends who have say they've proved good value.

Kindle paperwhites are currently on offer for £49.

@Tacobella

I have bought from tarte cosmetics before and had no issues. I highly recommend their shape tape concealer although this is excluded from any promotions.

@Gardenworm do you mean this one

Multicolour, am thinking of this vet set from B&M.

B&M also have the dressing up costumes for vets too.

Did you see how much that vet dress up is by any chance?

Dd has the Melissa & Doug vet set for Xmas so it would be perfect!

@Tacobella I’ve ordered from tarte quite a few times and only had an issue once. I hadn’t received my parcel, but I emailed them and they sent out a replacement no problem.

@Squirrelblanket have you got a link for the paperwhite for £49 please? I can’t find it, thanks.

Arghh sorry, it's not the paperwhite it's the normal Kindle with backlight!

If anyone sees good deals on toot toot cars please could you let me know if you remember??

My 8 month old has a new love.

Won't look at any of his other toys

I sometimes press their happy little faces to make them sing long after kids bedtime

This is madness. I'm too scared to even tidy up after my daughter's gone to bed incase I set something off and wake her. Especially the bloody beat bo.

Regarding vet bits, my DD has one for Christmas last year that I think was from Lidl. Looked similar to the home bargains one posted above - small cuddly toy in a pet carrier with a few little bits. No idea of price though!

Ah no worries @Squirrelblanket thank you anyway, thought it was me being daft that I couldn’t find it.

Thanks for the kindle link squirrelblanket that's part of DDs present sorted! Is a kindle ok for a book obsessed 6 year old?

I've been through the thread but can't find who had the issue with the printing on the Santa sacks? I was wondering if you'd got sorted as I messaged them on Monday as they've made a spelling mistake on two of my sacks and they haven't even acknowledged my message yet

Thank you all for your toot toot warnings.... little bit scared now. Currently we just have a bus and I don't think I'll ever forget 'I'm a shiny bus, driving all around...'

If anyone sees good deals on lego movie 2 lego sets please could you let me know? Thanks. I've added 4 chocolate oranges to my Tesco delivery 🙂🍫
