although they have had it in because i saw the SEL for it behind the end till
where the perfumes are0 -
For anyone looking for the Shilpa fragrance, my local in Durham had these in the main aisles together with the Madonna giftsets, not on the fragrance shelves.
Yesterday they also had heart shaped boxes of Thorntons choccies for £1.99 (rrp £7xx), silver Playboy folding chairs £4.99, Cadbury Animal biscuits in a colourful ark shaped tin £1.99 and stair baskets £4.99 (similar to these which retail in Lakeland for £17.61)0 -
I've always wanted one of those stair baskets (since I had my 1st house 10 years ago). Maybe I can finally aspire to my dream
.
Had also seen the ark tins, but couldn't find the price - might be tempted now.Now proud Mumto3 :j0 -
Mumtotwo - me too!! i saw one years ago somewhere and didn't buy it and then never found one cheap enough! cool idea aren't they - v american though!
I thought the pulls up were 3.99? although obviously prefer 2.99 - potty training my daughter at the moment so need to make sure i have some in the house for accidents! Am going to B&M later so hopefully will find them for 2.99!0 -

Our cat loves it, and she now thinks she has her very own version of a Stannah stairlift0 -
Retford has a Mamas & Papas rear car window sunshield for I think £1.49, originally £8.99.
Any other Mamas & Papas spots would be very helpful (sadly can't get to Leeds for the changing bags) - hoping to equip daughter expecting twins.0
