    Best buy I think is the 18 rolls of toilet roll for £2.99! it might be on the thin side but it beats all the supermarket brands! Always seem to have loads too :)
    Freebies - Savvy Shopping Bag, Energy Saving Plug, Hugo Boss Sample
    Winnings - Dvd The Road sold on Ebay for a tenner :)

    To the people searching for the £1.99 Spa sets... In my local HB (SALE) these had been put out in the bath product \ haircare part of the store rather than the toy section, (which is where I would have been looking), so it's worth searching in both places if you want these.
    Aims for 2014
    Drink a glass of water a day, Empty handbag at least once a week, Continue "not putting things off" and tackle things head on, Treasure people around me, Stay healthy and well away from hospitals, Continue to declutter/decorate house slowly and not get stressed because I can't do everything at once. :D

    Nah - get the Nicky ones instead 9 for £1.99 - far, far superior to the 18 for £2.99 & actually a 9 pack of those last longer than the 18pack of the £2.99 & MUCH kinder to your important areas. Tried the £2.99 ones & wished I'd stuck with the Nicky ones. Nicky is better than any of the expensive 'luxury brands'. Newport had packs of 18 Nicky for £3.69? or thereabouts. Wish they'd do the same in Cwmbran!

    I still find Newport better than Cwmbran although Cwmbran is nearer & a slightly bigger store. WHY?
