2013 Photo Calendar (to make yourself) - Polaroid brand. Pack includes calendar and pack of photo paper. The idea is that you print photots in your inkjet printer and stick them onto the pages.

Good quality and excellent value for £1

Note that the actual ones in the shop are for 2013 - this is the only photo I could find online

Got these last year. Fab for kids to decorate as a present for relatives.

Yes I'm going to have to go back for more now as my 3 children want to do them for their own bedrooms. I should have kept it hidden as I can't use them as stocking fillers now!

Sadly no mealworms or Dettol Handwash Systems in Staines branch today - it's a small shop and very rarely has any of the wonderful things I read about on here.

I did get some Cif Oxy Wipes and a copy of this cricket records book -

The Staines branch actually is not that small, its larger than Woking and about the same size as Camberleys and marginally smaller than Bracknells.

They had loads of tubs of meal worms in the Bracknell branch a week ago but i think word got round quickly and the shelf was wiped quickly. Do anglers use them as dry bait? could be the reason.

homebargains have got mealworms in (sorry didn't look at size or price) so If you have one of those they might be worth a look?

Do you have a link to your blog? I love reading reviews!

I bought the Halloween cupcake stand and I can't wait to set it up, it looks great. They also seemed to have a few more nail polishes in stock. I got Maybelline Express Denim Dash and the Chit Chat Rio Glitter.

£11.89 on Amazon and says: "Published in 1963 to great critical acclaim, Maurice Sendak's Caldecott Award-winning "Where the Wild Things Are" has sold millions of copies worldwide, garnered countless awards, and been translated into twenty-one languages. In this beautifully designed, inspired book, Gregory Maguire, himself a master of literary invention, pays tribute to Sendak and his work as both an illustrator and author. In "Making Mischief" Maguire reconsiders Sendak's oeuvre with the same adroit and idiosyncratic scrutiny that allowed him to see a heroine in the Wicked Witch of the West (Wicked) and a backstory to the "Little Match Girl" (this season's Matchless). An accomplished critic, with signal reviews published in the "New York Times" Book Review and lectures on art delivered at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston, and other places, Maguire examines Sendak's aesthetic influences from William Blake to Walt Disney. He intuits the 'conversations' - often unconscious and unspoken - that artists have with one another."
