Keep missing the BODEN vouchers. Please can someone pm me theirs? Even if it's past the date?
Thank you so so much x

@wibdib would a swivel mount solve your problem for the TV?

@NaturalBlondeYeahRight woohoo! Gosh thank you. It was me with the trunki for my son! I'm off to sign up 🤞 that they email a discount code. Thanks so much xxxx

Argos
10% off Lego with lego10

Obvs might not be cheapest even with this but Argos is handy for many

Aldi are upping the giant sloth ante... and £12.99 seems a bargain!

I’ve also just signed up for a Country Life magazine deal. It was £6 for 6 issues and then £32.99 a quarter (so £2.75 per magazine) but you can cancel anytime plus a £5 M&S voucher. I was sucked in by the deal as we were away last week and the playroom of the farm stay had Country Life in it which I enjoyed flicking through whilst the kids were playing but will most likely cancel the subscription after the cheap period.

I'm debating whether or not to get the younger Ds aged 6 and 3 a Nintendo switch. Is it worth waiting until Black Friday? Are there likely to be good deals on it then. Did anyone get a bargain last year?

I have a Lakeland voucher which I could use but don't need to. So if someone wants it £5 off £30

@studentvera I keep missing out on the boden £10 too, but the 25% off has started now if that helps!

Morning all need some help my ds 6, has decided he would like a transformer remote controlled car. He loves Bumblebee and heatwave. Does anyone know of any bargains?

Ring doorbells - fab when you can speak through it to someone delivering to say ‘thanks leave it behind the wheelie bins’. Being on this thread I may have used that feature on ours once or twice or ....

Morning just to let everyone know the Aldi toy special buys are live!! There are some lovely wooden toys

@BeauticianNotMagician81 we are thinking of the same for our two. The cheapest we have found at the moment is a deal with curry's (£309 with controllers and steering wheels) but we have not bought as yet....

This just popped up on my instagram, it might be a nice small gift?

I've just done the GH deal with cashback. Lovely stuff.

We have van LG smart TV too. It's 49 inch and we really like it. I rate LG anyway.

BareMinerals have 20% off everything with the code FRIENDS, plus free delivery on all orders

@BeauticianNotMagician81 if you have lots of Nectar points you could use them in the Sainsbury double up to put towards a Switch - that's what I did last year. I think I changed £100 of points to get £200 of vouchers which I put towards a bundle deal that Sainsbury were doing. It meant it was equivalent to getting £100 off and another £100 was effectively free money as it was just from points accumulated doing our normal shopping.

Extra 15% off inc sale items at Kipling with code FLASH. Ends midnight.

TO THE PP THATS AFTER A TRUNKI!! My local boots (Liverpool) had some reduced heavily hidden at the very back of the children’s wear on a random shelf. I can’t remember how much but they seemed very cheap. I was considering buying one and putting it away.

Merlin are doing various discounts on booking shortbreaks in 2020 at legoland, Thorpe Park etc. Legoland is kids go free between march and November next year.
Still adds up to £££ so not super bargainous! But worth a look for anyone wanting to buy a whole family 'activity' gift.

My two got Trunkis when they were 2 and 3. They still love them 3 years' later!

I got one from Tesco for £20. Can't remember how much the other was (or from where!).

@buckeejit just a casual 'a cancellation request has been processed' like I asked them to remove my bargains because they were too bargainous 😂 I noticed that the 'order processed' email took about 15hrs to come through so that probably did my organic legs.

£20 off of Charles Twrwhitt (classy shirts and stuff) if of use to anyone. No minimum spend and works on discounted items. They are beautiful shirts.

I was really disappointed by the Trunki - the elastic strap broke on the first use and after a few uses the locking clip also broke beyond repair. I found it was quite small inside too. I do like how robust the teen version are though (also slightly on the small side when you want to put shoes in).

We have a kids Samsonite Happy Sammies case that is far superior and is onto the second child - you can fit more in too. Although they are more expensive and not as ‘fun’ I’d go for Samsonite every time. They do a ride on like the Trunki now but haven’t owned one so can’t say if they have the same problems as the Trunki.

Our Trunkis haven't had any problems at all. And they get battered! I think, as with everything, there are sometimes some poor ones which slip through!
