That baby is actually turning 7 tomorrow 😱 how time has flown by

Oh my goodness! Doesn't it just! Happy Birthday 🎉 to MiniHat then!

@IceCreamAndCandyfloss DS said it ruined all his childhood Disney memories then laughed like a drain

@gingerbeerandlemonade

I bought some peakyblenders coffee as gifts last year. It was really nice! Quick delivery and the packaging looks expensive too

Fab ideas for coffee 🙂 Thanks all!

I have just noticed that the Disney story book calendars are reduced to £10 on Amazon.

Just put it a WHSmith order. £13-something and got:

Sketching pencils tin of 12
Grey ink drawing pens
Kneadable eraser
A6 sketch book for her school bag/pocket
Eraser pencils
Stump blending pencils

She really rates the WHSmith branded art gear so should be happy with this (i know she likes the sketch paper, eraser and pencils, just stocking up whilst the opportunity is there.)

I feel like I should be buying something from WHSmith just to make use of the free delivery and 10% but can't think of anything I need and browsing the site hasn't inspired me either!

I just did a WHSMITH order too, got my my the 36 watercolour pencil set and my dss sketching pencils and a pad and my brother a Japan jigsaw

Me too. I found the site bloody irritating to search on aswell🙄

I'm looking fo a coffee grinder (and beans) for the dh. I cant see anything in stock under the coffee offers mentioned so far.

Thanks for WH Smith and TCB tip, have ordered:

Rock N Roll A Level book for DH
Pre order annuals one buy one get one half price
Pre order guinea pig night before Christmas for DDs stocking
Faber castell metallic markers
2 paperbacks
Cook book

None of them bargains on their own but with the cash back and discount I have saved on things that were on my list plus free postage!

Thank you so much for the Sylvanian families tip! My dd has asked for the tree house and a real house for then for Christmas so it's perfect!

Footasylum have got a good sale on and next day delivery £1 with code NEXTDAY

I bought DD a pair of Adidas sliders for £14.99 reduced from £24.99.
I ordered them at 10.20pm last night and they arrived at 9.30 this morning!

That OnBuy site is brilliant. Got Cards Against Disney for about half the price I've ever seen it and a few nice stocking fillers as well.

Duckyneedsaclean its really easy to cancel the Radio Times subscription. You just cancel the dd with your bank and it doesnt renew.

Glad the sylvanian families house tip is helping people out :)

@DustyLoafer, yes I agree!

Thanks to the poster for Uno flip, also bought here.

Has anybody seen any Descendents dolls you can buy in the UK that are reasonably priced and dont have massive delivery charges?

@gingerbeerandlemonade look at beanies for coffee
They did 4 jars of flavoured coffee for £10 that I got from a previous thread, arrived within a couple of days and will be Stocking fillers for ds18, dp for Christmas and For dp’s birthday He’s getting the birthday cake flavoured coffee!
