    I told you I had been spending recently ...Well I've just had my happyland toys delivered ( as seen on grabbit board ) £82s worth of toys for £35 delivered ( plus cashback ) :money:

    I'd ordered some that we already have as they were a good price so I plan to sell these ones. So I should end up with the ones I want to keep being free and maybe even a cash profit from it too. :money:


    That's a good buy. DD has lots of Happyland toys she doesn't bother with much but I am hoping she will (i bought loads off a friend for £65). I know they sell well on ebay so that's a good idea you've had there. Is the offer still going? I always miss stuff on grabbit as I don't think to check there.

    No its not on now Cath although you can buy garden toys on 3 4 2 plus 20% off but there's nothing there apart from the lawnmowers that I'd want and a £14 each I don't think they are worth it.

    I'm on the look out for a sandpit.

    DD loves happyland but we bought all new with having the 2 similar age. They have all been bought on offer though so not bad.

    There's often a lot of Happyland on ebay especially later in the year when people are listing stuff in the run up to Christmas - maybe get a bargain if you don't need it til a December birthday??

    I think you'd get a good year or so out of it if he'll be 3 Miss, so still worth getting one.

    I'll keep my eye out for the farm for you Miss. I always buy them when theres a glitch...It made me giggle that they took the pig out of the farm a while back for religious purposes. A farm without a pig !

    .EDIT what about the rocket ?..not quite a farm I know! .. We've got one of these put away for xmas already. https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3329996

    We've gone through what I've had delivered and I'm selling 3 items...that's when one gets sent to me as it's delayed but I'm waiting for free listing until I list to save money. I've also got another grabbit order from M/care to collect for art stuff although at 22 months DD is a little young for it yet, she won't be long. She loves pens!

    How was Mr Blue's interview? Hope all went well :j
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    The official closing date isn't until tomorrow.

    He doesn't think it went that well, but he seemed to answer it all o.k. He felt out of the loop as he's not worked for 6 weeks so wasn't on the ball with his answers. If it's meant to be... ( we won't hold our breathe though) but at least it got him in the frame of mind for any other interviews that come up.

    He's got another due soon , they are just waiting for other candidates to pass the online tests so they can proceed. Mr B was the only one that passed.

    Thank you for asking. :)
