    Tooth tunes available for £1.99 in Sheffield City Centre. From memory, the black eyed peas 'lets get it started' and destinys child 'survivor'. For anyone in Sheffield, they also have these at the B&M shop at Meadowhall retail park where they also had some Queen 'We will rock you' ones which were exactly what I was looking for.

    In the only stores I know well (practically next door to each other) there is very little overlap of stock.

    As far as I am aware, they are completely separate but there does seem to be a lot of stuff that is in both. B&M is much bigger in Sheffield but I much prefer home Bargains. I dislike shopping a B&M, the store is much darker and has a much higher crap:bargains ratio. I also think it smells a bit funny but that's probably just me being silly.

    In Parkway today they had these for £8.99 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Morphy-Richards-Headgear-Retro-21029/dp/B000JF8WSS

    I really wished I'd bought one for my mum now. The box is really retro looking. They also had matching straighteners.

    I got one of those cranium fort thingys for £9.99, the kids will love this, they are always building dens in their bedroom.
