    I've ordered bug hunting stuff from tesco with a long outdoor tray for painting and some trays for mark-making/collecting etc. From Sainsburys I ordered a big outdoor tray plus a few sensory resources - scarves, light and texture balls etc. I've banked some for next year as didn't need much this year really and want to save for some more expensive stuff.

    You must have had bad luck Miss M - my DHL delivery was scheduled between 9-5 on Friday and the guy was here by 10am.

    It took them 3 attempts to find me last year as we are a bit tucked away. I tried to put directions and a contact no on the system but they wouldnt allow it

    Making it easy for you then?!! I'm gobsmacked actually that Sainsburys seem to be despatching stuff asap rather than waiting til the Autumn term as before. My friend sent hers in on Thursday last week and got her order yesterday!

    Ooo they are all sounding fab Have booked my DHL for Friday, luckily DH is off work so will be spending his day off waiting in for my parcel

    Not one of my parents brought me a single voucher I must have spent about £20 in ink printing newsletters, leaflets, reminders etc but still nothing.

    So the only ones Ive got I collected myself or hounded friends on facebook etc for. Im quite basic this year and have gone for paints, trays, feathers, glue and then loads of baking stuff from Sainsburys......so far I am loving how "cheap" the sainsburys things seem (although not as much choice admittedly) but ive ordered tones of wooden spoons for the littles to make puppets with

    It's a shame isn't it? I got most of my vouchers through my family, husbands work colleagues and my ex clients whose children have moved on but they still collect the vouchers for me I didn't get thousands of vouchers but I'm really excited by what I've ordered.

    I ordered a dark den and some other crafty bits from Tesco. We got over 2000 vouchers this year, mostly down to me, my family and friends and one of the parents.

    Sainsbury would not let me enter because I'm a childminder!!!

    From Tescos I got over 5000 vouchers so ordered the beebot pack with the mats and banked the rest, and with sainsburys i had just over 1000 so ordered a few baking untensils and banked the rest.

    I have had sainsburys already

    In 2009 my delivery was left in an open ended farm shed! Only found it when nephew spotted it getting his car out. It wasn't little - 2 tuff spots

    I have only ordered a few little bits and banked the rest - I really want a dark den
    Happy to be back with the Greenies
