Annabel was out shopping in her local B&M in Wallsend when she came across the toy.
But when she scanned it on the B&M app - the usual way savvy shoppers come across unmarked bargain buys - it didn't come up.
It also didn't have a price tag on it, so she decided to go up to the till to ask how much it was.
And it was at that point that she discovered it would cost her just 10 pence.

"A spin on the roundabout toy? A ride down the slide? Should the balloons go on the bus, or on top of the jukebox?"
And after Annabel shared snaps of her child with their new toy, others took to the comments section to plan their next trip to B&M with friends.
"OMG!" one wrote.
"Why not in the Dundee ones?" another sighed, tagging a mate.

"Can't find none near me!"
Peppa Pig legacy
PEPPA Pig first aired in 2004 and has since been broadcast in 180 territories and translated into 40 languages.
Now it's spawned books, toys and even two theme parks, with the global Peppa empire now worth over £1billion.
Creators Neville Astley and Mark Baker admitted they were initially worried the idea would never get off the ground, and that people at first, were bored of the idea.
Astley explained: "People in the pub would ask us, 'What are you drawing?' We'd say, 'A pig, called Peppa, it's going to be big'.
'They'd lose interest and wander off."
"Wow, as if," someone else added.
"When they don't scan on the app, that's how you know it's deffo 10p," another wrote.
"As soon as I'm back we're off out," someone else said, again tagging a friend.
"Amazing find," another smiled.

I was 15 when my nude pics were leaked – grown men sent them around at the football club & everyone blamed ME
LIKE many young girls, Jess Davies wanted to impress her school crush and decided to send him an explicit photo of herself. Little did the 15-year-old know that he would send it around the school and she would become a victim of image abuse. 2 Jess Davies revealed her nude photo was leaked at just 15-years-old Credit: Instagram/jessdavies "That image got bluetoothed around my school, and then it got shared around my hometown, which was a small hometown in Wales, everyone knows everyone," she explained on the Image-based sexual abuse is a criminal offence, it's when someone takes, shares, or threatens to share sexually explicit images or videos of a person without their knowledge or consent, and with the aim of causing them distress or harm. This can include digitally altered images, also known as 'deepfakes' - something Jess has gone on to lobby the government to include in the Online Harms Safety Bill. Now 32, Jess has opened up about the trauma it caused and more shockingly, how she was blamed for the abuse. READ MORE REAL LIFE STORIES She revealed that once the photo had circulated in her hometown, it was then shared to grown adult men on the local football team. Instead of seeing Jess as a victim, whose private photo was shared without her consent, people blamed her. "Everyone knew my age because it was a small town, and yet, the whole narrative was around how it was my fault," Jess added. "That I shouldn't have sent it, what kind of girl are you? Most read in Fabulous "There was never any conversation around why are men in their twenties and thirties passing around a child's image?" Jess was left as a teenage girl worrying about how to navigate the situation, and she decided she had to laugh it off. 2 Now, she advocates for sexual abuse victims Credit: Instagram/jessdavies Vicky Pattison shares deepfake porn clip of herself as she warns of dangers on C4 doc She revealed that boys in year 7 would run up and ask for a hug as they had seen the image as well. "I was laughing but secretly, this was humiliating," she said. In the end, her parents also found out about the image, as her nan was told about it from one of the men on the football team, where the image was being circulated. Now, as Jess has gotten older, she realises that the way people treated her for the image was not okay and that she was held more accountable than the grown men sharing the image. It has now led Jess to become an advocate for female rights and sexual abuse. Her BBC documentary 'Deepfake Porn: Could You Be Next' was used to lobby the UK government to criminalise deepfake porn. Jess also has a new book, No One Wants To See Your Dick, a guide for surviving the digital age to help us understand and tackle online misogyny and question society's understanding of consent. Sexual abuse in numbers 669,000 adults are sexually assaulted in England and Wales every year 1 in 5 women (8m) in the UK have been sexually abused 1 in 6 men (5m) in the UK have been sexually abused 1 in 20 children in the UK have been sexually abused Sexual abuse has been attributed to : 15% of all suicides in the UK 11% of all common mental health disorders in the UK 7% of alcohol dependence disorders 10% of drug dependence disorders 15% of eating disorders 17% of post-traumatic stress disorders (Source: Safeline)

Four red flags your partner is cheating Private Investigator Aaron Bond from BondRees revealed four warning signs your partner might be cheating. They start to take their phone everywhere with them In close relationships, it's normal to know each other's passwords and use each other's phones, if their phone habits change then they may be hiding something. "You should also look at how they place their phone down when not in use. If they face the phone with the screen facing down, then they could be hiding something." They start telling you less about their day When partners cheat they can start to avoid you, this could be down to them feeling guilty or because it makes it easier for them to lie to you. "If you feel like your partner has suddenly begun to avoid you and they don't want to do things with you any more or they stop telling you about their day then this is another red flag." "Partners often avoid their spouses or tell them less about their day because cheating can be tough, remembering all of your lies is impossible and it's an easy way to get caught out," says Aaron. Their libido changes Your partner's libido can change for a range of reasons so it may not be a sure sign of cheating but it can be a red flag according to Aaron. Aaron says: "Cheaters often have less sex at home because they are cheating, but on occasions, they may also have more sex at home, this is because they feel guilty and use this increase in sex to hide their cheating. You may also find that your partner will start to introduce new things into your sex life that weren't there before." They become negative towards you Cheaters know that cheating is wrong and to them, it will feel good, this can cause tension and anxiety within themselves which they will need to justify. "To get rid of the tension they feel inside they will try to convince themselves that you are the problem and they will become critical of you out of nowhere. Maybe you haven't walked the dog that day, put the dishes away or read a book to your children before bedtime. A small problem like this can now feel like a big deal and if you experience this your partner could be cheating," warns Aaron. One person wrote: "Big fan of your work." Another commented: 'Him losing twice the same night is gold." "Ma'am you are a psychological genius," penned a third. "He's still thinking about that to this day. In fact his new girlfirend has to remind him he's beautiful once a week." Meanwhile a fourth said: "He was trying to play checkers but BABYYY you were playing CHESS ." "Not gonna lie that's a pretty solid way of handling that,' claimed a fifth. Someone else added: 'Girl, if you don't catfish him every year like it's a nationally observed holiday, what are you doing with your life? Get him again."

MAYCI Neeley is a household name since appearing on the hit reality TV show The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, but now, she has revealed the heartbreaking story of her first love.

Before her marriage, Mayci was in a relationship with Arik Mack. Then her life changed forever. In 2015, Mayci, who was just 19, was at university on a tennis scholarship when she found out she was pregnant. Mayci described Arik as a bit of a wild guy" who was "so full of life." READ MORE REAL LIFE STORIES So she had concerns about him settling down with the arrival of their baby. But he assured Mayci he was ready to be a dad and marry her. While Mayci says she didn't want to give up her tennis career, she decided to leave university and move back to her families home for support. Arik decided to stay at the university, which was in a different city in Utah. Most read in Fabulous "Being away from Arik was harder than I thought. My hormones were all over the place," she told "On 24 March 2015, Arik and I had a fight. The pressure on us had become too much and we started to argue over text." Unveiling the Hidden Lives of Mormon Wives "Little did I know that Arik was driving while texting me. Frustrated, I stopped replying to his messages." Mayci didn't think much of it when he stopped replying, that was until she checked social media later that day. Tragic Realisation While scrolling through Instagram, she noticed a series of tribute posts to her boyfriend. She saw a post that read: "I'll miss you, Arik", which had a photo of him. The next post said, "RIP." Shocked by what she was seeing, she called his father, who confirmed Arik had tragically passed away due to texting and driving and had been killed on impact. 7 She has shared images of the crash online Credit: Greg Brennan 7 He was killed in a car crash when she was 14 weeks pregnant Credit: Reuters Reflecting on that time of heartbreak, the reality TV star said: "I was 13 weeks and 5 days pregnant. Me and him got into a disagreement. I remember calling him and hoping he would answer. Mayci Neeley "Mainly me, I was upset with him, and we were sending texts back and forth and one of his texts was unfinished at the end of it. "I remember calling him and hoping he would answer. And the worst part of it was just hearing the dial tone and being like, 'Please God, answer the phone.' And I called his dad and his dad told me that he passed away in a car accident... It was the most traumatic time of my life." "I was utterly destroyed. I had no idea that he was driving – I never would have replied to him if I knew," she continued. "Arik was my best friend and suddenly, he was gone." "My baby would never be held by their father. It was too much to bear." Tragically, Mayci found out the day after he boyfriend died that she was having a baby boy. The pregnant teen sank into a deep depression as she tried to cope with the grief while carrying their only child, Hudson. The loss of the life she had imagined with Arik was too much for Mayci, who also revealed she received negative comments from those around her. I didn't want to live, to be honest. Mayci Neeley "You're young, you have plenty of time to find a father for your son," said one, while another quipped: "At least you'll never have to co-parent." In September 20115, Mayci gave birth to their son and says he saved her life. Speaking on the show, Mayci said: "I truly feel like he was my first love, and it just destroyed me.
