It’s nearly December, Father Christmas is busy putting the final touches to his toys on the workshop and we are busy elves preparing for a somewhat different Christmas this year.

please post any bargain info IN BOLD to make it easier to scroll through the thread.

To make things bold you:
Put a star each side of what you want to make bold like this but without the space between the star and the writing *

Just a reminder you can watch the thread by clicking on ‘watch this thread’ at the top of the first message. It’s much easier for everyone than so many place marking every time which can use up a fair chunk of each thread to scroll through Thanks

Plum has some very good reductions on climbing frames.

Pyjamas for kids pleeeease can anyone help? I usually get white company in the sale .. white stuff are cheaper ..
Anyone got any white stuff kids PJ’s on the off chance?! Would you recommend them? Bonus point if you can compare to white company !!! White company have 20% off but still pricey really.

Just grabbed Roomba from Aldi!

pennygirl26 · 27/11/2020 12:18

Has anyone seen any good deals on the Barbie plane ? Or a discount for Smyth's or Argos ?

BarbiesWorld · 27/11/2020 12:20

@pennygirl26 I've got one from coolshop.co.uk down to £45. Free delivery too Grin

LostMyRubySlippers · 27/11/2020 12:23

For anyone waiting on the £25 Molton Brown voucher from the magazine offer, mine arrived in the post today!

pennygirl26 · 27/11/2020 12:26

@BarbiesWorld have you done that today ? I seen it but worries as reviews for the website are terrible. Considering it though

Anydreamwilldo12 · 27/11/2020 12:27

@Chunkychipsohyeah I have a £15% off full price Fatface. If you would like it pm me

BarbiesWorld · 27/11/2020 12:28

@pennygirl26 yeah, I paid on the credit card to be safe. Fingers crossed it's OK 🤞

LetsPlayBamboozled · 27/11/2020 12:29

Books2door are offering free delivery with code BFCM2020

I will put my referral code on the referral thread but I don't know if they will stack (referral is £5 off for you and for me)

Referral Thread

Man! I'm just waiting on a password reset if it ever comes I will add to the referral thread Halloween Hmm

LeaderoftheAteam · 27/11/2020 12:30

@yafilthyanimalandahappynewyear is that on the plum website? Looks to be between £25-£50 off.

pennygirl26 · 27/11/2020 12:30

@BarbiesWorld it's my mum that's buying it so worried about it , looks like stuff comes from Denmark and issues with shipping due to covid. Not convinced it would be here for Xmas. Might need to try though don't want to pay £70 for it

NameChangeForPoo · 27/11/2020 12:31

@GirlWithTheYellowHat

This sprocket seems to be down to £74.99 on amazon, I really want one for me but not sure I can justify it after buying a velvetiser!
I’ve had my eye on that for weeks as I don’t know which sprocket to go for. All I will say is that before you commit, check how easy the paper is to get hold of. I can’t find the ‘Select’ or ‘Plus’ model’s paper anywhere, but hate buying out of date tech. Why are the earlier models more expensive???

@Becles after all my gobbing off earlier about making a stand....so did I!! Blush

LostMyRubySlippers · 27/11/2020 12:34

Can’t remember who was asking about hotel chocolat vodka
On qvc they have 2 different bottles for £38 & I think if you can get a referral code this would get £10 off if this helps?

yafilthyanimalandahappynewyear · 27/11/2020 12:35

@LeaderoftheAteam, I received an email that said the Tamarin Wooden Swingset is reduced to £274.99 from £424.99 and
Deimos Metal Climbing Dome is £119.99 from £199.99.
Plum Mandrill Wooden Climbing Frame is £349.99 from £499.99.

Thedarknightsaredrawingin · 27/11/2020 12:37

I can vouch for cool shop and at the moment there's no issues with shipping to UK from Denmark. My last shipping took 4 days

Grin @myhobbyisouting inconvenient principles have no place on Black Friday Wink
ClaraTheImpossibleGirl · 27/11/2020 12:49

England Rugby Store has 20% off here

I was hoping the Scriballs would come back into stock at half price on the Mitre website, but no joy yet Sad I have presents to buy for the neighbours' boys who would love them.

@PinkJam I don't think Bettys are doing anything for Black Friday this year - their last emails have said that they're having their busiest year ever, so presumably they don't need to do any discounts Sad Sad if only I lived near a branch so I could buy my own Fat Rascals! but probably better not or I would be the size of a house

Still no sign of my Rocket & Rose order - eight weeks and counting! - I've sent two emails with no reply. I did get an email a few days ago to say it was on its way but nothing's arrived. Don't think I'll be ordering from them again!

BarbiesWorld · 27/11/2020 12:50

@Luxplus that's really good to know, thank you Smile

@pennygirl26 seems like we might be ok. I refused to pay 70 as well and have been watching on camelcamelcamel for a while with no luck

BarbiesWorld · 27/11/2020 12:54

While I'm here, desperately following everyone's bargains, any ideas for stocking fillers for a ten month old? Found loads for the 4 year old but poor baby DS has very little and I have a feeling DD will notice if he doesn't have a stocking like she does..

HideHide · 27/11/2020 12:54

I'm still holding out for a better price on the Paw Patrol - Mighty Pups Life Size Look Out Tower. Best I've got is £69.99 which is ok but as it comes with only one vehicle id like to get a couple of the other pups! Appreciate any help or voucher codes that might bring it down a bit more!

Chocolateteabag · 27/11/2020 12:57

@buckeejit - have you decided yet??

Please someone - just tell me which Eufy robot hoover

Cheap one or the one that has better suction (£153 vs £180)

I will literally buy what the first person to respond says

GoblinDaughter · 27/11/2020 13:00

Why does my child want a shitting flamingo?! Please tell me I’m not going to have to pay £33 for it?! Hmm
