Chicco Balance Bike down top £22.99 on Amazon. amzn.to/34AgWVk

Hoping the Tesco express a mile walk away has Baileys as I haven't got a big store anywhere near me!

@Rockhopper81 Hurrah!!!

@Wtfdidwedo we had the rainbow galt set for my daughter when she was 4, it was really nice to do together. It gets reduced on amazon quite often

@PocoyoandEllie it was the end of the summer last year that they reduced them. Haven't seen them drop to half price this year but they've done £5 off a few times.

@dizzygirl1 happy to have helped!

@TheWildWoods I'm also hoping for a Smyths offer as we have a catalogue full of post its! She's going back to add the circles in! I am dithering though because as things are in stock I feel I should order because I don't want to miss getting them (maybe not the £350 Lego Hogwarts!)

@Nicky2512 I'm sure Prime day usually features Karcher products. Also, I've a feeling the likes of John Lewis and QVC might also price match around the same time. Lots of scope I'd say. I got mine on offer 7 years ago and still foing strong!

My 4 year old boy is into robots, anybody have anyideas of a good one? Preferably one that walks talks etc and not an animal. Thanks

Annoyed I missed the coffee, that would’ve been good for bil

River island have a sale on. Kids & adults stuff.

Does anyone remember who did the toasting marshmallow kits? Thinking of Christmas Eve activities
And even better if they're a bargain!

For those asking about Smyths discount codes - I asked the manager in store at the weekend if they would be doing any and he said no - because they didn't want an influx of people into their stores which would affect social distancing. I was holding out for their usual £5/£10 off at this time of year.

@FrolickingLemon Brilliant thanks. I will hold off then. I know mine was a lot cheaper last year than they are at the minute so hopefully they will come down. I love mine!

Hawkins Bazaar have lots of Harry Potter stuff in their clearance section www.hawkin.com/harry-potter?mc_cid=a0cbb66f4e&mc_eid=99d0ce98f1

New Look have 20% off coats and knitwear

My tesco online shows the Baileys as out of stock. Their own brand is cheap though, has anyone done a taste comparison?

@CoronaChristmas I don't drink Baileys but my Dh thinks the Tesco own one is great and it's a fraction of the cost.

@EvilHerbivore was it Naked Marshmallow?

The Aldi one is lovely and is £3.75!

Has anyone spotted the mince pie cream liquor in M&S on their travels? Need some for my Xmas stash

They only had 1-2 flavours in my M&S, and mince pie wasn't one of them.

Not sure if it's been mentioned before but I quite often get eBay discounts by watching an item but not buying it. It's an automated eBay feature where the system sends you 5-15% discounts on items in your watched list. Mostly it's on items I've changed my mind about but at other times it's on something I was going to buy anyway.

It annoys me when companies charge for click and collect to a store.....river island I'm looking at you!! It used to be free to collect from a store but they charge now.

IWOOT have got a Christmas clearance sale on at the moment

I'm another fan of the Aldi version for £3.75 - less clarty than real Baileys and I love a slug of it in coffee instead of having milk

@PocoyoandEllie @Spam88
I've always seen the cardboard houses etc drop to half price in preparation for half term, at Hobbycraft, usually along with all of the paint your own ceramics. So I'm willing to bet they are set to again in a few weeks. They sell out quickly if so, keep an eye out.
