@WetFlump thank you so much!! Bought the buzz and the shark this morning

You’re welcome. The buzz is such a bargain, nearly paid £45 last Xmas which was the cheapest it went to.

Can I recommend, aldi and lidl do wooden train sets every year before Christmas time . They are fab! Our lidl ones have made a huge collection. Compatible with all brands and are solid made. Such good value for money and have lasted years for us. We add to it every year

@Checkinmylist1 that looks ideal for my sister for Christmas and a fab price (£60 in JL)
Have you ordered from Looksfantasic before? I always check new sites before ordering and there are a few reviews that state that products are old stock.
Although I’m thinking that theses oils would be ok for years if unopened.
How do you all rate Lookfanastic pls?

Playdoh kitchen creations cookie baking set half price Amazon , £12.22

@NoWordForFluffy That's very kind! Shall I pm you and see?

@WetFlump yes I've got my eyes on them too. I think they're all compatible, ikea, tesco, which is great!

@Blessedbethefruitz, yes, do!

@NoWordForFluffy if blessed doesn’t happen to be close by and you are midlands way, (I’m in worcester) I am also madly looking for wooden track this year 😃 we haven’t got any at all so probably basic starter stuff is ok, he’s absolutely obsessed with his Thomas trains so will be starting to have a mooch around charity shops trying to gather bits

@TherebytheGraceofGodgoI i really love lookfantastic and have used it a lot, is the website lookSfantastic though? Wondering if it’s a bit of a play on the reputable one!

The legit one is def lookfantastic.com @TheGirlWhoLived. It is owned by TheHut.

@Flubadubba yeah that’s the one I use, I’m just wondering if in her post there was a typo as she wrote looksfantastic or whether they are trying to be a bit scammy iyswim

Thanks for that! Limit 1 per customer so me and dh both bought one for ds and nephew.

I'm not near you or @Blessedbethefruitz. However, RM Tracked 48 is reasonable (only a tenner for 15kg). I've offered that option to her first, but if she doesn't want to do that, I'm happy to post to you instead.

Sounds great, that would be fab. Keep me posted 😃

If anyone is using look fantastic remember to go through topcashback because they always have good %

Tesco has a magazine in store you can pick up.
Theres a £5 off a £25 spend on Lego coupon inside. Valid 23 Aug-25th Oct.

There is also increased cashback of 16% on Cult Beauty at the moment. (Via Top Cashback)

My big Tesco stopped selling toys (it has an expensive Entertainer aisle instead). 😡
Can anyone tell me if their Tesco still sells toys? Greater Mcr areas, please! 🎁

@TheGirlWhoLived Thanks for the update. Yes was a typo, was rushing to go out!

@TherebytheGraceofGodgoI I’ve used Look Fantastic quite a few times and always been happy. I’ve never had a problem myself but interesting about the old stock though 🤔 Like you say I’m sure the bath oils should be ok - I’m willing to take the risk at that price!

Vivienne west wood gold glitter pumps reduce from £100 to £35 in basket

Mens croc sliders £30 down to £9.99 two colours , free delivery if member (free join) At footlocker I mean.. they aren’t for everyone but you never know 😅

These Walkie talkies have come down to £14.99 for blue ones or £13.99 for pink ones, which is a good price for them.

I’ve mentioned about them in previous years - both my kids have been able to use them from 3ish (though still forget to hold/let go of the talk button sometimes) and they work really well.

A good fun gift for taking out on walks etc

These are down to £10 with a 20% off voucher. Good for long journeys...
