Saw them today in poundland. Not being a touch screen user I'm struggling to appreciate how these differ from a normal thin pair of gloves. Anyone?

If you struggle in poundland B&M also have these, a little dearer at £1.99, though still a bargain! Make sure wherever you buy from you check the boxes as most of the ones in my local BM were empty and the contents stolen!!
Incidentally, the laptop coolers aren't up to much at all I'm afraid

Normal gloves don't work on touch screens but the itouch and other gloves have a different material like sensors on a few of the fingers so it works when you swipe or type on the screen

Thanks! When I went they had 3 of the 4 packs but I was running out of arm room and didn't have a backpack with me so I thought I'd get them the next day. Wrong! All gone  but I did note the use by date was before the wedding so wouldn't have been able to stockpile, but still would have fancied a pack! I'll check tomorrow though, they might have replenished!

The kids slipper socks are FAB. I bought a pair of spongebob ones for my 18 month old to stop them slipping on the wooden flooring, and they are a brilliant fit.
Also avaliable are peppa pig, dora and disney princess i think.

I bought a can of dry shampoo today that is a different one to the ones they usually stock, Intu Style - there is a blonde and a brunette vversion. And it smells like a stink bomb! Yellow/lime green can, steer clear! I've got to go and wash my hair now :/ it's vile and almost made me throw up

Aww you're welcome hun  my mum and I have been members of this site for a couple of years and have managed to get loads of bargains due to people posting so its nice to be able to help others in return.
Those Five Alive juices that I mentioned in my last post are actually 2 for £1 and come in two flavours, can't remember what they are though sorry!
We've got multipacks of Wotsits in that have 14 (yes 14!!) packs in (6x cheese 4 flaming hot and 4x prawn cocktail flavour), might be good for the kids' packed lunches when they go back to school?
I'm struggling to think of anything else as I've been on till again all day today and haven't had chance to go for a wander but will post again tomorrow night when I've finished my Christmas baking.Happy bargain hunting xx

In the Keighley store yesterday they had a mountain of Matthew Walkers 1lb Christmas Puddings - http://www.matthewwalkerchristmaspuddings.co.uk/. We had one of these last Christmas so I know they are nice. I grabbed a few as DH isn't averse to eating a bowl of Xmas Pud any time of the year!

Saw a load of the annusals today, aside from ones mentioned there's also a transformers one
Another vote for matthew Waler xmas puds, they are delicious and the puds can keep for a good couple of years despite what it might say on box

Have to agree, these are fantastic puds. Will be getting some more for the cupboard, thanks for the heads up
Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
This Ive come to know...
So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast
