At my end, the pictures display fine and at a decently viewable ratio/size for this forum (on certain configurations) so I had no knowledge of "annoying" anyone - if that's what's being implied (?).

Either I'll stop posting pictures (to avoid more complaints) or suggestions to "solve" it are welcome.

Doesn't seem to be an issue posting these images elsewhere, eg, on Hotukdeals, where I sometimes post Poundland/world Deals, too, so I assumed MSE Forums were the same.

I'm not implying anything. If I had meant anything, I would have said so.

Some forums and boards automatically resize posted images and the reader can click on them to view the full size. I don't know if that's what is happening on these forums, but it's certainly not happening for me.

I tried to re-upload one of your images to Imagur, but it didn't give me any option to resize, or I simply missed it because it was hidden somewhere. I do know that some other image hosts give you the option to resize, such as [url="http://tinypic.com/]TinyPic[/url].

while it’s easy to wander off-topic that could stop newbies finding the information they want quickly and easily (please see the forum rule) so please keep this thread on topic. If you’d like to discuss non-MoneySaving related topics please continue your discussion in The MoneySavers Arms or Discussion Time. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com"]forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL].

Please just stick to posting the bargains. Thanks.

I'm grateful for the pics - makes it easier to find the bargains if you know what the packaging looks like!


To keep on topic, a while ago I asked if anyone had tried the Poundland fence paint - I have now myself, and thought it was quite reasonable for the money, decent enough colour and thickness.

Any feedback on the £1 damp traps?

We are changing our laundry drying location, from double kitchen to small bedroom, and wondered if they would be any good in addition to opening the window/ heating the room dependent on season.

The kitchen is so well aired and heated in the normal course of things we've never had to do any extra and zero damp/mould in 10+ years.

They are brilliant! I no longer need to use them, since we demolished the offending damp porch and conservatory on our house. But they really work. I've also borrowed dehumidifiers from friends in the past, but could never find one cheap enough to buy and new they are hundreds.

Thanks for the post about the foot packs. Had I not seen the photo I wouldn't have known what to look for. I bought them on a whim and used them on holiday after a day of sightseeing they were very soothing. I threw the booties away but i'm sure you could reuse them with another product. Cheers LouLou

Hi there I had the same robs with my cat I tried the flea tablets from B and M but can get anywhere £2.99 in b and m and they worked!!! two tabs a day apart and she stopped scratching and was fine. worth a try. Also the poundworld flea spray is good on carpets etc.

Here's perhaps an affordable possibility at £119 from Lidl with a three year warranty:

Trongate, Glasgow Poundland (things look a bit damp, raining heavily here!):

L'Oreal Lipgloss, shade 200 Princess (yes, one of those that was mentioned a few times months ago), Tropicana Pure Premium Tropical Fruit (Big Pack 1.3 litres), Girls Rule mini ball which was 50p (other DC male/female superhero designs as well).

Unfortunately I seem to have lifted the wrong receipt or I'd have included that, too

All £1, apart from the 50p item.

Edit: There's a post about this on HUKD, where the OP natz265 states these Tropicana cartons are/were 1.6 litres:

Wonder if they have changed the pack size and that's why Poundland has had them in to clear them as they are £2 when on offer in most supermarkets. Mine was definitely 1.6l 2 week ago.

mine in the fridge is a 1.6L
