    In Thornaby today they had 3 differnt sets of tint childrens books in a little library pack like the Thomas Postman Pat and Night garden sets, They were as follows:

    1. Lunar Jim

    2. Littlest Pet Shop

    3. Ratatouiulle

    Basic little books but great for sitting teaching the kids letters

    Also had lots of the Almay Cleanser which i think Dorry mentioned

    6 Packs of Walkers Mango & Chutney crisps

    Loads of misshape bars and chocolates

    some flavoured drinks 10p a bottle something Grove ?? they are downstairs


    Lots of other nice things too

    I assume you mean these the raspberry and the ginger one are lovely.

    Suppose to be for the bar trade. But never seen them in a pub.

    I meant that they were downstairs in my house:rotfl:

    I can confirm that there was Pink Grapefruit and Lime, Raspberry and Lime and Lime and Ginger they were by Britvic, I drank 2 on the trot yesterday in the heat

    Went back last night and hardly any drinks left at all and definately not any of these, had i known how lovely they were i'd have got about 40 at 10p each Top Bargain
