girlwiththeyellowhats do we have any news yet?

Fifth thread already, how did that happen?! I?ve booked our panto tickets now so am feeling very festive Grin . Tips I learnt from the last thread number 24837 - wrap a huge cardboard box in christmas gift wrap to put all the rubbish on christmas day in rather than a bin bag so you don?t get a black plastic sack in all of the photos

Please forgive the fact that so many sale and amazon products aren?t individually linked or are linked but price may since change by the time you click on it - so many of them are out of stock and amazon seem to change prices on an almost hourly basis (it feels like) on a number of items that were previously linked to. As usual please tell me if any of these links/codes don?t work or if there?s anything particularly you want to be in the next OP (assuming there is another Wink ) how would I do any shopping without you now

Thanks for all your help in helping my christmas shopping in 2013 be once again bargainous Grin

I put this on the Xmas hamper thread but if you google the Christmas emporium it's a all year Xmas shop that sells baubles and can personalise them. We bought 1 for our ds last year from the shop.

Grin at the title.

I picked up a Lego friends pet parlour set in Tesco this morning. Only £7.50, still marked up on the shelf as £30. so probably a miss price. £22.20 on Amazon. Worth checking out if your going to Tesco.

Wow Reastie. Another epic post. You ladies are so good at these bargains though I'm struggling to keep up with you all. Have just ordered some of those lovely mugs for myself and my coffee switching colleagues.
Don't have anything to add for bargains though I'm keeping my eyes peeled.
Thanks again all.

Many thanks and much Cake again Reastie!

I know on the last thread I linked to the princess nighties in Argos and Poppy posted about the Thomas set, but I've had another look and there are quite a few more bargains on there.

Several sets of slippers for £1.99, there is a peppa pig version of the £10 Thomas set, some peppa pig slipper boots for £5 that I've reserved for DD, and other reduced nightwear. Worth a little look.

Here.

Vertbaudet sent me a wooden pull along train to replace the bag (i emailed before I received the bag but tbh didn't think it was that bad for a freebie). The train is fab!

Thanks for the 10% off at Book People (NBACK). I'd been umming over whether to buy the 20 classic collection books so decided to go for it. £18 for 20 books is pretty good going. MUST NOT BUY ANY MORE BOOKS!!!!

WaitMonkey. I gave up with vertbaudet, they were not budging at all, said they couldn't discuss other customers blah blah blah. I will not be shopping with them again. Also posted a comment on their Facebook page. I'm really tempted to return my items, but bought a cute outfit for my new nephew and a lovely dress for DD (which she doesn't need).
