Home Bargains are letting Cars 2 inflatable chairs zoom off their shelves for £3.99 instead of £8.99 which, I think, is a bit of a bargain.

Kids love their own special furniture, things that only they can sit on and use because it's too small for us grown ups.  Inflatable chairs are, somehow, much more fun than normal chairs and won't spill polystyrene beads all over the place if inquisitive fingers manage to get inside a bean bag chair.

There's not a great deal I can tell you about this Cars 2 inflatable chair - it's a chair that inflates and can be sat on, there's really nothing more complicated about it than that.

It can be used inside and outside, measures 54 x 47 x 40cm and has a maximum user weight of 40kg, which is lots even for older children.

Home Bargains have a sliding scale of charges for delivery starting at 50 pence for small parcels and increasing to £2.99 for medium parcels - I can't imagine it will be categorised as being larger than that - or you can, if you have a local Home Bargains, collect your Cars 2 inflatable chair for free.

Remember last week I gave you a heads up on the Sainsbury's Half Price Toy Sale?  It starts TODAY - hurry up and get yourself over there, stock has a habit of flying off the shelves almost as soon as the virtual, and real, doors open!

There are 93 items marked down by half on the Sainsbury's website - there tends to be more in-store - and these Disney Art Desks caught my eye this morning; there's one for the girls in typical Disney Princess pink and a Disney Cars version for the boys.

All of my children are very arty, it must be genetic because I am and so is my mum - my youngest is currently visiting my mum in Italy and news, via virtual postcard, says they've been spending lots of time drawing and colouring.

Both desks come with attached seats, eight crayons, eight markers and five colouring sheets - not much in terms of arty bits and pieces but I'm sure you'll already have a fairly comprehensive stash of those tucked away somewhere, if not then perhaps have a scout around the Sainsbury's Half Price Toy Sale for some half price art sets.

Remember, the key to successful half price toy sale shopping is being the early bird - forget worms, this is all about TOYS!

Go forth and bag bargains! 

My previous friendship bracelet post was definitely more for the girls; to even things up a bit here's something for the boys.

Play are selling this Disney Cars sleeved fleece blanket for £5, rather than £12.99.

The evenings and nights are definitely getting chilly - it was 8C in my little part of the country last night - and darker earlier.

I'm resisting putting the heating on, in fact I REFUSE to put the heating on just yet and am wrapping myself up in my husband's warm, and cosy, jumpers instead.

This is all well and good for me, but my youngest son has a bit of an aversion to wearing jumpers or dressing gowns to keep warm in the evenings!

I have NO idea why and, both, me and his father have despaired on occasions; this Disney Cars sleeved fleece blanket may just be the way forward.

Basically, it's a blanket with arms which, I think, is a cracking idea.  There are few things worse than having got warm due to being tucked up under a blanket, then needing to take your arms out because you need to hold something.  OR not being able to tuck your arms in, so anything under armpit height is warm and anything over stays chilly.

The Disney Cars sleeved fleece blanket is machine washable up to 40C, can be tumble died, is made from 100% polyester and measures 120cm x 150cm.

The current dispatch time from Play is between one and two weeks.

Tesco are selling this Disney Cars duvet set for half price, £6 instead of £12

• Click HERE to drive over to Tesco

I had to laugh, the official wordage on the Tesco website describes this Disney Cars duvet set as being made from 'an intimately blended polyester and cotton fabric for a soft and comforting night's sleep'.

Intimately blended?! Well however it's blended, it's rather nice to find something Disney that isn't hideously overpriced.

I have a bit of a thing for bedding sets and have to try really hard to not to keep buying them.

They don’t even have to be bargains like this Disney Cars one and they don’t have to be for the kids either, there’s just something about climbing in between new sheets that have never been slept on, or under!

Character duvet sets can also be a useful tool for getting tired ‘but I’m NOT tired’ toddlers and pre-schoolers in to bed; whatever it takes I say!

Home delivery with Tesco is expensive at £5, I'd avoid it at all costs and click and collect for free instead.

Sports Direct are selling these Disney balance bikes for half price - £15 each instead of £29.99

• Click HERE for the Disney Princess balance bike

We've had numerous discussions about balance bikes in the PlayPennies office: are they just weird and have their pedals missing? Or are they fabulous and make learning to ride a bike much easier?

We've still not come to any conclusions but, for my money, I think they're a bit odd and I can't see HOW they make the transition to a bike with pedals quicker and easier - feel free to enlighten me.

Anyway, these two Disney balance bikes have adjustable seats so it doesn't matter if your little rider is shorter or taller for their age.

Unless you go to a bike shop, you'll find that most bikes are delivered in pieces and these Disney balance bikes are no exception - at the very least you're probably going to have to attach the wheels and possibly the handle bars.

Delivery within 24 hours will cost you £5.99, standard delivery takes a little longer and costs £3.99.
