Thread 13 - the one with the day of the cardboard boxes

[Reastie]

Thanks @bizzey for the title, which tickled me! The day of the triffids? Nope, it’s the day of the cardboard boxes!

Second message has a few links and info which I’ll slowly build up, let me know if there’s anything you’d like me to add to it

@Midnightshopping

Saw something about a Halfords code on way earlier thread and can’t find it. How do you go about this? Or does someone maybe have a spare Argos code please?

There was a 10% off if you signed up to stock updates on bikes

Ah! @mummyof2boys30 I tagged you earlier in the thread but forgot the "30" - I think it was you that wanted goodwood

Yes it was. Thanks so much for this. Glad i didn't book flights yet with date change. 🙈 Thanks

@1stTimeMama no suggestions yet, but thank you for the reminder! DD2 just moved from sleeping bag to duvet in her cot bed last night, and this is entirely the kind of thing that I would have managed to overlook. She’s 2 and would not be impressed when the rest of us get our festive bedding out. If you find anything can you keep me updated and I’ll do the same?

@NisekoWhistler where did you see the books 2 for £7 please?! I have these on my list xx

Thanks so much for all the bargains so far, long time lurker but finally got round to setting up a mumsnet account
DS has asked for a go pro type video camera, does anyone have any recommendations? Is the vtech kids one any good?

I think it was Tesco.

Argh our washer is bust, I don’t think it will be worth repairing was only a cheap Beko. So just wondering if anyone has seen any bargain washing machines or have a code for Argos. Sorry to be very unfestive.

Oooh, I didn’t think to ask on here but our ovens packed in. Does anyone have a curry’s code? Or Argos if IggyAce gets one too!?

The code MA50QM will get you 10% off a £50 spend and MA25QM £2.50 off a £20 spend at Boots today. They've a nice Yankee Candle Christmas set in their star gifts that's down from 52£ to £23.50 using the above.

Appliances wise I have always found Ao.com much cheaper than Argos etc, plus topcashback usually have quite good rates on them too which is a nice bonus.

I agree so via cash back sites are excellent

If anyone has the MSE email today there is a Beer52 offer for a one off box for £24, no sign up for subscription on this one.

Any decent coffee recommendations for someone who’s loves small/independent roasters? I did the paddy and Scott gift last year and it was a huge hit so I’m hoping to repeat.

@Twilightstarbright Pact are very good if you’ve not tried them before?

Amazon daily deal today has loads of cosmetic/smellies gift sets. Includes bomb cosmetics bath bomb advent calendars for about £13 if anyone is looking for a nice calendar, and Childs Farm gift sets, but there’s tons of nice stuff.

@Twinningaround depends how old DS is but I'd go with a "normal" camera. There are lots on amazon if you search for '4K action camera' you just need to get a micro sd card to go with it.

Playmobil 70202 garage with car, half price at argos for £25

City life garage

@sorryiasked thank you il look them up now DS is 6 so sounds like a normal one might be good

If anyone sees a great deal on Present Pets please let me know. I had one in my Smyths basket at 34.99 yesterday and it’s gone up to 49.99 overnight Will not pay more than £35 because reviews are hit and miss and we had a bad experience with a hatchimal not working before but DD really wants one.

@Twinningaround middle Psuedo has the kiddizoom hd action camera, shes 7 and enjoys it, there's games on it as well as being able to record hd videos. She mostly uses it attached to her skateboard. I picked it up around £20 something in the black friday deals last year

OK Play is currently on a lightning deal for £11.04. I bought it on a whim last year when it was £10 & it has definitely been a success here, I chuck it in the bag when we go out and the kids play while waiting for food to arrive etc deal: Big Potato OK Play: Multi-Award Winning Game For Kids And Adults | Great Travel Game For 2-4 Players [[https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B075SCTTBM/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_navT_g_dl_3CCXHHT2GVQ2TE1TA2H2?tag=mumsnetforu03-21 Ok Play]]

@duckduckswan I have a brand new 3D pen with 4 boxes of filaments. It's the Maplin one from a few years ago but it's never been used. You are welcome to it if it's any use?

Re lots of playdoh - my kids were given this set and it was great fun. It's loads of different colours in smallish pots, not one big one (though ours turned into all one colour soon enough ). It's the Ready Steady Dough stuff rather than playdoh. Quite a bargain price. www.thetoyshop.com/arts-creative-play/dough-and-sand-modelling/dough-modelling/Nick-Jr-Ready-Steady-Dough-Rainbow-Delight-Dough/p/546918?queryId=e9b35ff1444bb8e93f11c6b3355dd6ae

I just wanted to thank the person who mentioned the hot diamonds codes, my order arrived this morning in a beautiful box and gift bag, I'm very impressed
