    I got Ugly Betty: The Book today, but also saw quite a lot of Jacqueline Wilson books in. That was in Stockport. Pretty good!

    Cupcake mugs with a lid - the mug was like the stripy case and the lid was like the icing with a cherry on the top - very nice!

    Searched all around my local store for mini candy canes that I bought last year, couldn't find any so gave up & went to the checkout to pay for something else, looked down & lo&behold there were the candy canes!! They are really cute & I popped a couple in my cards last year & everyone loved them.
    Booo!!!

    Just been in and got lots of bargains. I particularly like the "Songs for Christmas' book - a CD and small board back book with the words for 15 traditional songs, inc:
    Away in a manger
    Ding Dong Merrily on High
    Little Drummer Boy
    etc
    CD of the songs not bad, either.

    Northampton - they had loads piled high!

    I did not see any in Bedford today - but then they hardly have any stock of anything as they are having a change around and seem to have lost lots of shelf space and the lift is out of order so they don't seem to be stocking shelves :(

    Have seen candy canes in the 99p store, wilkos and home bargains

    I bought an oil burning set, consisting of the actual burner 3 lights and some oil! to go with
    this... https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2793584

    For only £1.75! all wrapped up nice (I'm going to take it out the packaging) will be a nice addition to my Mum's hamper.

    Also bought a microfibre towel for my dog for xmas :p

    Also 36 mini candycanes or 10/12 (I can't remember sorry) normal size for £1 which will be going in the pots of silver as table favours for xmas day!
    War does not determine who is right - only who is left.
