Morning all :)

I have a kindle in my basket, ready to go :o

Nice to see some Lego finally, but the sets aren't as good as last years by the looks of it :(

What will you have in your basket today?

Seriously considering a Kindle for DS, but don't really know if they're good for Internet and games as well as books

Good morning :)
I'm not sure about the Kindle, I really wand an HD one, Ho hum.
Might try for the baby wipes again, can never have enough of those!
DH has mumbled something about the pressure washer, exciting!
Oh I dunno, I think I have Black Friday lethargy.

Nothing really that I need today. I was hoping for wine making kits again. It's all a bit groundhog day isn't it? Sick of seeing those water filters. (realise I'm contradicting myself)

No Kindle HDs Sad. Don't want the regular Fire at all.

Will have a proper look in a bit, but I notice that the Lego Ninjago Fire Temple was there - ds2 had that last Christmas (Free- thanks Tesco!) and it is a really big set, which only just collapsed the other day, he has played with it loads so I can't recommend it highly enough!

I will get some baby wipes today, goddamit. Tempted by the nappies too, although we normally get baby dry.

whispers we can have a duel for the wipes
Will see what the nappies go for, but we normally use Huggies.
Oh it's terribly exciting today!

I'm so disappointed about the Kindle :(

Today I fancy:

  • the car seat cover at 1145
  • the Brio at 1
  • the Invicta watch at 7
  • some of the DVDs at 8


Tortoise there's another orange spider watch up today :o

Morning all. I don't know what to do about the kindle. There is a very slim chance that DP will buy me one for xmas but its only about .00001% as he doesn't really like to buy online and is impervious to hints. I really wanted the HD BUT this is 30 quid off. Grrrrr decisions.

Off to have a look at what is coming up

I think its slightly more exciting today.

I was thinking about the Rocket Dog boots, they should end up quite cheap with the £10 fashion voucher, or are they just rip-off Ugg boots? they'd be expensive to send back if I don't like them (I live abroad)

Silly question.. But if I put the Lego set in my basket will I get the BF price if I check out when the offer is on or do I need to put the set on my basket during the BF period ?

Morning Ladies!

Hoping that Bish is a good price!

I want (price dependent):
Battlestar Galactica
Scuttlebug
Indiana Jones
MIB
Berghaus rucksack
Illy coffee
Jelly Beans
Chuggington
Baby wipes
Nappies

I can't get it all, so I'll see what I can bag. Stuff like wipes and nappies doesn't count though, I'd have to buy them anyway Grin

Book People have a good deal on Mr Men, so I wonder if Amazon can match it.

I'm annoyed they now have the orange Le Creuset. I got cerise at the beginning of the week, but I'd have waited for orange.

One down on my list Grin

Kindle is in the basket. I might get it and see what happens at xmas. If I get the HD for xmas I will give it to DS for his birthday. Does anyone know what happens with the lovefilm month free - does it activate as soon as you get it or can you choose when to activate it?

ClaimedByMe Sainsburys are doing the Lego advent calendars this year, useful if you have nectar points to spend.

I want jelly beans. Going for 600g one because its the one that's normally cheapest!
Might get mib box set for Ds1. He hasn't seen the films and keeps saying he'd like to. (Trouble is they download films so might be pointless having discs!)

I bought an xbox bundle this morning off Amazon and another one but quickly noticed and managed to cancel it! Phew!

So I must not buy anything. Must NOT buy anything.
