Has anyone seen hair donuts lately? Not prepared to pay £3 in Asda for such fripperies

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?

Sorry only just seen this, yes it looks ok, quite stiff felt so won't bend too much, you need to thread the ribbon through to make it a banner which I've not done yet! I just thought it would last better than one of those gold streamer things you usually get!

St Ives, Cambridgeshire, had 3 different size donuts in stock a few days ago. The smallest ones came with some hair grips and the others were just attached to a small card top bit.

I need a big one.

What with that and my new false eyelashes from Wilko, I shall look as glamorous as Eva Peron.

Picked up one of these yesterday for my DD stocking

They had the 'royal blue' colour too

Also saw more webkinz lil kinz toys, a brown pony. I have seen these in the Entertainer for £1 as well but not everyone has one of those shops near them

Yesterday in Horsham Poundland, they had some china mugs, in open fronted boxes, official merchandise as follows, : The Who, War is over/John & Yoko, Black eyed Peas & Never Mind The !!!!!!!!/Sex Pistols. Nice present for teenagers, Oldies & fans. They were located by the kitchen items.


They also had shot glasses with London written on them but each letter with the union jack in the background, I think Olympics merchandise maybe. They were stacked in groups of 3 but I was annoyed to find out they were a £1 each at the till as that seemed expensive to me, also located by the kitchen items.


Also large hardbook book The Only Way Is Essex for fans of the show. Plus Only Way Is Essex eyelash kits dotted randomly around store.


Also dotted at end of isles in any place they felt like it were sturdy eco carrier bags which fold up inside a very strong plastic tube to be handbag portable and which by their design can carry an extra 3 bags without cutting your fingers to shreds.

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?

There's 1 about 2 feet away from my armchair on the coffee table

A few years old, well used (the BLUE ran out quite a while ago - must put a refill in it) and as you say a FANTASTIC Pen

Seem to remember getting it in a Tesco Express (Esso Petrol Station shop) with 75% off for 79p or similar amount.

Thinking about it, I'm sure I tried it at home, then went back and I bought another 1 (sadly all that was left ) - wonder where my new & unused one is ?

Mine is the same as displayed with the BLUE barrel (medium point 1mm - line width 0.4mm) but you can get a FINER version (I've never tried one myself) that has an ORANGE barrel (fine point 0.7mm - line width 0.35mm )

Regards buying a new one ..... BIC 4-COLOUR (4-COLOR)

IF you don't mind a different selection of coloured inks (PINK, PURPLE, TURQUOISE, GREEN) - in the Medium 1mm point 0.4mm line, then RYMAN currently have these for just £1 - LIME GREEN Barrel

http://www.ryman.co.uk/0820016004/Bic-4-Colour-Ball-Pen/Product

Actually, just noticed, the BLUE Barrel is also £1 IN-STORE (ONLY?? for quantity 1 to 3 - buy more and they cost £2.06/£2.18/£2.49 ??)

http://www.ryman.co.uk/0820016002/Bic-4-Colour-Ball-Point-Pen/Product

If Ryman is no good for you, several similar(ish) deals on AMAZON
TRIPLE pack for £5.99 inc FREE P&P
eg. http://www.amazon.co.uk/4-Colour-Retractable-Multi-Colour-Point/dp/B004OVS8PU

or a 12 pack for £18.31
ORANGE BARREL > http://www.amazon.co.uk/BIC-Colour-Fine-Ballpoint-Pen/dp/B001JKAWJ4


Alternatively try EBAY - for example

Found this (a BIC but slightly different barrel design & color = PURPLE RUBBERISED GRIP / 0.7mm line) 12 pens for £11.99 delivered

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400398557067

and there are plenty of others

I'm sure I've seen them quite recently in Walthamstow. I'm going to the shops at some point tomorrow so will take a look and let you know.

Thanks, if they're there tomorrow I'll be there too.

After all, what's the point of doing your roots if you can't show them off?
