    the woman in front of me spent £31 on nail varnish. 31 bottles at £1 each.

    ebay re-seller is my guess.

    Shame as it spoils it for the rest of us who would like a bargain. They should have a limit of 5 maximum of each item.

    Either that or sniffing it!

    Although neither suggests moral superiority to me :think:

    My plans for yesterday evening were rudely cancelled, leaving me with time to offer the shelves in Stratford a thorough inspection.

    Of note were ceramic butter dishes and egg trays. There was a lot of summer activity stuff in stick, including light bat and ball sets, tennis and badminton racquets for kids. There was also a plastic cold drinks decanter with tap, 1L I think. My prize find were silicone conical lolly moulds, 3 packs. (Rigid plastic moulds were in packs of 6)

    I wasn't impressed with the Pep&Co range though.

    A tip for using the lolly moulds, stand them in a tall narrow glass to fill them as it's near impossible otherwise.
    Once you have got the tops on lie them in a long plastic sandwich box with the tops resting just on the edge. They are near impossible to carry otherwise when full and not frozen!
    Also, if they do leak, the juice is contained and hopefully won't stick the holders to the box when it freezes as they are above the escaped liquid.
    Apologies if you knew this already, but perhaps it will help someone else. :)

    Bit of a jpeg spam to share - photos taken about an hour ago.

    Discovered that Trongate, Glasgow is selling those plastic "rattan"-style baskets in the smaller size in twin packs!

    Next to the 10" x 7.5" x 4" size, to give an idea of scale, in Black: qn26PXp.jpg?1

    And, the ceramic butter dishes weren't in Argyle Street, Glasgow the other night (must sell quite quickly?) but they have a new batch in:

    I neglected to mention, there was a stand of rectangular fridge magnets on display, roughly A8 in size. Some of the slogans were witty, but £1 is too much to charge for such a thing!

    Just a FYI for anyone looking for the Bath Mats (which are pretty decent for £1)...sis wanted Beige and Turquoise but couldn't find the Turquoise ones anywhere. Argyle Street, Glasgow has a few of the Turquoise tonight.
