They're only £10 more.
Clearly you seem more interested in saving yourself a couple of quid than making sure your DD is happy on Xmas day.
"What do i do now"?
I don't see how there seems to be any debate about it.
Is there a value on your DD's happiness at xmas\?Live in my shoes for a week,then tell me your lifes hard!0 -
It's not a question of saving money to sacrifice my daughter's happiness! I cannot afford to pay more than I have, can I?! Also, if I save money there I can afford to get her other things too!
I am not needlessly moaning about anything, I came here for sensible consumer advice from people who are meant to be like-minded in saving money where/if they can. Instead I just get judged & have my posts picked apart quote by quote! Very helpfull & constructive-NOT!0 -

Unfortunately when boards are not moderated this type of behaviour is exactly what you get. Best course of action if it happens again is not to reply to any negative posts just helpful ones. If certain people didn't get any attention they would go elsewhere. No one has to justify their actions especially not on a public forum.0 -

No-one's asking the OP to justify their actions.
But when someone comes on and asks a question that boils down to 'Do i wait until 10th Dec and risk not getting the present at all, all for the sake of saving a few quid, or do i just take action to guarantee getting my child what they want for xmas'
The answer should be obvious. It should not pose such a dilemma that you need to publicly ask help.0 -
Has the world got out of bed the wrong side today.. so much for help and assistance..
missingink, if i were you i would probably cancel the order with tesco and spend more somewhere else in the knowledge that you have the gift you want, you can then at least use the vouchers for something else, maybe instore and buy a game?
Personally i wouldn't touch any of the online sites for gifts at this time of year, delivery dates are nearly always changed once the order is processed and if its an important gift such as this then its worth the extra money.AFD - J 19 J 11 A 2 S 10 Oct 6 N 0/?
