I also got a felt 'Merry Christmas' banner

is the felt banner nice? I had one in my basket yesterday (along with lots of other things mentioned on here) then dd had a meltdown over a piece of plastic junk so I had to abandon everything. is it worth a trip back?

I picked up the Inbetweeners Book in Coventry today - it's a hardback Book and it's sealed so will make a good present for OH.

as usual poundland Horsham has neither the Inbetweeners book or the Christmas at the cupcake caf! book

Do have a little look at this before you give it anyone, I bought it for a present for a teenager and although I know they watch the programme I did find the book really, really crude & have decided that I'm not comfortable giving it. It does have warnings all over it and I'm no prude, but it was a bit much in places. :embarasse

Not sure if this has been posted already (apologies if so) but Trongate, Glasgow had these Hello Kitty playsets:

Six varieties, Garden, Bathroom, Bedroom, Living Room, Kitchen, Dining Room.

Good for stockings/party bags, or just to fill up an empty doll's house, perhaps.

Edit: Better pics here of them set up: http://www.flairplc.co.uk/Product/78100-Hello-Kitty-Home-Sweet-Home/
"Each pack includes a Hello Kitty figure, room accessories, floor piece and collector leaflet" £2.99 on that site.

I can never find the price stickers in Poundland and always get confused. Is the 99p shop cheaper - just a thought.....

Forgot to add: Also "Disney Forever Neverland" Fragrance Pen, with Tinkerbell on the front. http://thumbs2.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/mKVbLQRVOcerhO2wdnfC3GQ.jpg

Though I've seen them in Poundland on and off for a while. Trying to fill up stockings!

thanks for that tip, I will give it a miss if I spot it, I don't like crude things either

This pen is £3 in WH Smith a ridiculous price.

Woolies used to sell this pen for about £1.35 and I managed to snap up some for £1.20 in the dying days of Woolies - gosh that was Xmas 2008 ?

However they have been lost or stolen since then.

Poundland this autumn sold one 2/3 the size but otherwise exactly the same.
I now realise these were probably a special back to school offer and I should have bought more than one.

I love this pen:

A. As a courier driver it fits my breast pocket perfectly and I can "correct" customer's attempts to complete the paperwork with ease - yes I can leave it in the coal bunker, as you have got to go out.......but if I have not got a signature I don't get paid.....how would you sign it......Mary Smith ?

B. It totally comes to bits and can be refilled, using freebie pens from banks, hotels and charities, especially as the latter now come as a cardboard sandwich.

C. It is a design classic, made of real engineering plastics not to be confused with nasty brittle little sticks made from styrene or full of silly little bits of metal, It all simple clicks back together again like lego for grown ups. .
Forget 1930s Bakelite this is 1970s acetal resin technology.

Anyone seen any anywhere?
