    I need help I've just looked through my Xmas stuff & realised I only have 3 stockings one is mine with name on one is bf's with name on && one that lights up which is my little brothers!! I need one for my sister so where can I get a nice cheap stocking from for her? Any ideas?

    Halfcost has a pink one for 50p, obviously only worth it if youre getting other stuff! 99P store/Poundland always has nice ones too. :)

    It was on the hut. There is a 15% off code on somethings, and then there is another offer with certain jackets, jumpers and hoodies where you can get a really decent designer tshirt for free as well.
    I spent £14.99 on a jumper that should of been £54.99
    Got a tshirt that should of been £24.99 for free.
    Then got 15% off a lovely berry coloured slightly xmassy patterned zip up jacket by brave soul, It was £11.99 but prices everywhere else are between £25-£30.

    The only problem I find with the hut is that there prices and offers change constantly, which i why i took the plunge and ordered straight away because last time i waited the prices when way, way up!
    All the stuff i got is this season and I have seen two of the items in the trafford centre recently at full price so I am really really pleased.
    It's been despatched already too :j



    I have that book :D It was 49p in Home bargains about 15 months ago! I bought a few as stocking fillers for people and kept one for myself.. I can't tell you what's in it though :naughty: I have to keep my evil plans to myself :D
    Thanks Ill take a look! OMG Im so jealous!! Its £7.43 on Amazon!! :eek:

    Hi everyone, not posted in absolutely ages. Spent a couple of nights in hospital worried about babies (theyre both fine and still 'cooking' btw!) and came back to a gazillion pages to go through, ok so Im 61 pages behind but might as well be a gazillion!

    Just wanted to say thanks to whoever mentioned the reindeer throw and cushions in Primark. I had to buy some..... I absolutely love them!

    I agree that tinsel is tacky. However, I use gold tinsel that I have cut up into satsuma size pieces that i scatter in the branches and they look really good twinkling in the lights. I also do a nigella and have lots of soft fairy lights around my kitchen. Teehee I cant wait for Christmas now, though Im wondering if I will have the time/inclination to decorate how I usually would as I will have 2 little babies to look after !!!

    Anyway, I'll get back to reading. Dont think I will ever catch up!

    Can you use it online ? Just found out that you can get a free bag if you spend £35, but only available online

    Hi Kayandy, i got one in poundland last year. most of the big department stores reduce their stockings nearer xmas so u wld get a really nice one if you wait till about 2 weeks before xmas.

    Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there are rumours on here and Mumsnet that the Sainsburys Half Price Toy Sale is NOT happening this year. :(

    It IS only a rumour, but it is quite well spread.:(
