My son will be 3 on dec 21st (:mad:bad timing) he wanted a ''big boys big blue thomas bike'' tesco had it for £59.99 but the @~#'s put the price up last week to £89.99 I had £30 in vouchers and thought what the heck I'll double them up and get this bike........To my shock they'd reduced it to £70 today and with the vouchers it cost only £10 and I had it del free to my local store!

My sister works away a lot and misses my son terribley so off him I got a digital photo frame which is in a teddy's tummy from the toystore.com reduced to £10 and again 10% off

I'll let you know when we get some in our store! if you ask someone (a member of staff in a black shirt is your best bet) they can check the SAP system (our intranet computer system that monitors stock levels) they might check it for you and get some sent from another store for you!

I'll see if theres any at our store.If there is i can get them sent to your store (which store is it?) but you'll need to PM me your name and phone number so they can let you know when they arrive

I will look in the Gloucester branch when I'm there next week. I *think* my friends sister still works there, so I can ask her to look out for them there. Your offer is very appreciated, though! It's really nice of you to offer to go to all that trouble.

Oh, for anyone doing advent calendars who doesn't want to make one themself they had the Christmas tree matchbox style ones with Tatty Teddies on in Clintons window earlier, for £9.99. Was walking past with my mam so didn't get the chance to have a proper look but the compartments looked to be a decent-ish size (like matchbox sized?!) and I think it was made from wood so could be reusuable, although not sure. They were cute though

Her skin reacts to a lot of jewellery so I have to be really careful with what I buy but that could be an option. She does like music but normally downloads any songs she wants so it's hard to get anything she hasnt already downloaded

could you not get her a music voucher i think you can get ones for almost any online music store

They sell a wooden fire station at Early Learning Centre. It is quite expensive though at £100, but I know there are often 20% off codes floating around.

^!£$&

Amazon have a really cute wooden fire station for £49.99

i have bills coming from everywhere, i had loads of trouble with bt last week and managed to get it down to an extra £10 a month even though im really stretching myself at that and now today i had a letter through from dwp tax credits saying there was an overpayment of £157 on my and my ex's old account and we have to pay half each :mad: i dont know where im going to find the money to pay it off even in installments. can the month get any worse? but on the plus side tom doesnt need anymore for x-mas had my i-points voucher through today towards his bob builder set from argos which im pleased about.

I've finally got my Christmas wrapping paper out of the attic. I keep it in a special wrapping paper bag and it had fallen right to the back of all the boxes and junk, I could only just see a tiny corner of it peeking out when I shone the torch on it.
I almost had to empty the trillions of boxes out of the attic to get it, but had a brainwave instead. I moved the top few boxes and climbed over everything else It must have been quite a sight but I got what I needed :T.

So tonight I'm going to be wrapping shoeboxes for the Operation Christmas Child charity that we're doing at school. I'm organising it at my school and we're aiming to collect 100 filled shoebox gifts!

Is anyone else taking part in the shoebox appeal this year?
