In my local there's a load of melamine paint, tile paint and radiator enamel in a wide range of colours. All International. Great if someone's planning a bargain kitchen makeover.

I saw these today, wasnt sure what the advantage was but I can see the point now, might have to get one.

I spent £10 in Poundland today, I got

Egg timer (put in pan with the egg and it tells you when the egg is soft, medium or hard)
microfibre hair turban (use these instead of towels for my hair, they dry very quickly)
heel pads
10 foil containers with lid for the freezer
pop up bin (meant to be for gardening but I need it for camping)
4 stainless steel teaspoons
600 freezer bags
scented pedal bin bags
hi vis waistcoat for DH on his bike

Many of the usual suspects - in confectionery, cakes and biscuits, After Eights. Toffeefee, Terry's Segsations, Mini Oreos 3 for £2, lovely looking Dundee Cakes in both round and bar forms.
Toiletries - tried to ignore as I'm not buying toiletries in 2011, but saw large bottles (330 ml) of brand name shampoo - Supersoft I think - Original Source and Radox / Palmolive ranges in shower gels. Timotei had a shampoo for brunettes that I've not seen before.



What I did get was a Simpsons 2011 Annual, a QI 'G' annual, Richard Madeley's Fathers and Sons and a biography of David Tennant in the books line.

A non name brand pack of 30 caffeine and glucose tablets.

A twinpack of thick bleach and an Airwick Country Berries Gel air freshener in the household dept.

My 34 year old ladle - Green Shield Stamps 'purchase' as a newlywed! - broke yesterday, RIP, so I replaced it with an Anthony Worral Thompson one, RRP £3.99.
A very nice 'Garfield' mug.
A novelty guitar shaped ice-cube tray.
A pack of two hostas.

Seen but not bought - montbretia, lily of the valley, mixed summer bulbs, some very good quality pure white crockery, loads of silicone bakeware, cutters and pot holders, but not seen - the Calippo style moulds, ah well.

I just love Poundland. Some people can be really snobby about such stores, but in these belt tightening times, its just a good store. Although some of the toiletries can sometimes be slightly cheaper in Wilkinsons. I still love Poundland!
