How much was the sky blue sylvanian families set? Its £40.99 at Costco but no idea what the asda price was so may not be of help! (Plus you need an account) House

@thelegohooverer thank you for the Wentworth's puzzle link! I have never seen such beautiful puzzles and want them all!

@UselessInDisguise it's the pirate boat/helicopter that's calling to me. We already have the 3ft tower, all vehicles and pups, a pup pad & the paw patroller... They're all so damn big!

Oh for godsake i cant believe i missed the puppets again!! I have been checking all day 🙁 humph!

@Smileatthesmallthings that pirate plane thing is AMAZING. I played with it in the store I don't have it and luckily DS has only just got hooked on PP so he isn't aware of pirate yet!!

The puppets are back

Finally got the puppets - delivery 1 October but that’s fine

Thank you everyone

Missed them AGAIN!!!! 😡 These puppets are my nemesis

likesilver havent Read the thread but my dd went through a pokemon phase (still there!!) When she was younger she loved the figures in the pokeballs, she had a belt that they clipped on. Another huge hit was a cap that looks like the one Ash wears (check which series you ds likes as he wears different ones). She wears it all the time, and only cost a couple of pound from ebay. I highly recommend the build a bear pokemon toys, they are v well made and look just like the characters. We have loads in our house as we are all big pokemon fans. Keep an eye on qwertee they often have pokemon tshirts- they change designs everyday. They do kids sizes too and posters.
Avoid the plastic figures coming from China, the colours are off and they aren't great quality. Your better off buying a secondhand bundle of good quality ones. Funko pop figures also do pokemon, if he's into collecting.

peasando I’m not amused by your suffering I swear but that’s made my day 😂😂 Reastie, would you please consider “The puppets are my nemesis“ for the next thread title? I’m crying!

@peasando I feel like we need to get you these puppets if it's the last thing we do!

These tree lights are sweet. I've just bought one to use as a Christmas decoration in my porch. The measurements are on there, I think they're quite small.
But £5.99 in the sale and with discount code SALEDELIVER it has free delivery.

These paints are half price on amazon this morning which I think is a good deal

I'm glad someone is happy!! 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣

The new lol remix series is out for preorder today from smyths. Some of the dolls were v hard to get last year so I've preordered the kitty omg doll as my daughter is desperate for it and I dont want to pay inflated ebay prices if it sells out!! £39.99 for one doll 😱😱😱 she better love it 😂😂

The crayola paints are £4.99 everywhere, never seen them for more than that and they are very small bottles but are more washable than others!

I picked those crayola paints up from Wilkos a few weeks back for £2. May be worth trying there in case still on offer

These snowflake multitools are good for stocking stuffers. This is a 10-pack so maybe good for things like Guide presents or big families!

Smyths have lots of annuals for £3.99 I store and online

@silky86 - I got an Xbox from Very last year - waited til the Black Friday event but then also opened a credit account with them on their £50 off offer - £200 Xbox down to £89
No idea if that will work this year but might be worth giving an"IOU" for the Oct birthday?

peasando I reckon someone at Amazon is watching this thread and having a laugh at your expense! 🤣

Oh @peasando ! I'm sure you will get them but I worry for their safety. I imagine you glaring at them forever more, oops, stood on a puppet.....

Does anyone still have a Lakeland voucher that hasn’t been used? Think I have seen a few posts about £5 off. I need some quite boring kitchen things!

Can anyone recommend some fun looking but good alarm clocks? I want a couple as stocking fillers for dcs 12 and 10.
