    i have never heard or seen the things for your fridge?
    what are they exactly???
    and are they in the sheffield store?

    Yes, they had these in Hillsborough today - the cow ones. Also Reese's Pieces which I was very happy about! Shame I couldn't see any of the Triumph Spitfire Haynes mugs, I know someone who these would be ideal for - if anyone spots them in the Parkway store please post!
  • Stechford this morning was quite empty (lots of stock but not many customers).

    I bought some lovely Auntie birthday cards for 29p with a resin flower on the front. They only had Auntie ones. Top gear books 49p, Pritt sticky dots 29p and they had about 12 of the Queen Elizabeth figures for £9.99 - I now wish I had bought one so may have to make a detour tomorrow morning.

    To say that there wasnt much left, lots of empty shelves :(

    I was in Northampton today and did not see any plain lazy sets as I wanted these, also did not see the Haynes water bottles.
    Did have the last 3 large monster munch bags - yum yum!
    Shelves were disappointingly empty although I still managed to spend £30 mainly on stuff that was not necessary!
    No buying toiletries challenge - possibly for most of 2011,2012,2013,2014,2015!
