Evening all!

Welcome to the first prequel thread of 2025

These tend to run slower than the run up to Christmas ones but doesn't mean there are no bargains!

Happy Christmas Bargain Shopping!

Can anyone remember the site used for cheaper football shirts?

DS13 and DS10 both have birthdays coming up! Thank you.

In the freezers today in Asda I picked up a turkey with orange and cranberry stuffing, was £20 reduced down to £4! Yummy! 😋

Footballbest4u usually works, haven’t found a better one

Sorry, having to placemark as my bookmark doesn’t want to work and keeps sending me back to 7 March!

Does anyone have a current Argos code, please? £80 spend.

Bridal Beauty have free delivery on everything this weekend.

Lots of things reduced by 50% at The Entertainer when I went in earlier and lots online too.

There are a few Christmas crackers at Orelia for 50% off, so they are £15, I think it could be a nice gift to someone

What kind of thing does she like? DD is 6 after the Summer, so am looking for the same age range!

Here's one- £20 on Amazon, £64 in Argos.

We bought that for a 4yo a couple of weeks ago...is it suitable for a 6yo? Looks a little baby ish but very happy to be proved wrong.

The 6yo on question is quite an old 6. Fancy hair, does dance and drama, stylised school clothes. When I asked DD what this girl likes playing with (for present inspo) she says she likes doing shows.

Probably not, then! They can vary so much, can't they? I know DD and her friends (mostly 5-6)) would love it, but they are all into cute things like Squishmallows, Sylvanians etc.

Indeed. I've got no clue. My 5yos are very immature. DS would play with baby toys if I let him.

I've got no idea what to get this little girl. I'll start another thread so I don't hijack this one
