    Ok. Does anyone buy it on Tuesday and return it when it's reduced to rebuy at lower price?

    Will definately be going, my ds will be back at school next week (we are in week 2 of half term break in Scotland) so can go on my own - yayyy! Does anyone know what sort of things go in the sale, is it specific items? As would love to get more lego to add to his stocking x

    Last year everything in the toy aisle was reduced by 50% - I wondered if it would be worth going down as my kids are a wee bit old for Fisher Price etc but all those little bits and bobs like action figures and lego kits were half price and I saved a fortune :)

  • Last year it DID go online, just not as good as instore, only a few bits were half price, the rest were just 25% or whatever. The year before last, EVERYTHING was half price online, it was great :D

    I am pleased to announce: I HAVE FINISHED CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.

    Just thought I would let you all know that you would have 1 less person to rugby tackle, lol.

    So I shall be passing on this one BUT remember: it's only a bargain if you will use it, so dont go mental just because you see the 50% sign, think carefully before you end up with more toys than you can possibly handle.
    :TIs thankful to those who have shared their :T
    :T fortune with those less fortunate :T
    :T than themselves - you know who you are!
    :T
