    Oh my - those Thornton Mishaps bars - especially the Cappochino ones - yummy!
    Please forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.

    From the About Us section:
    Footprint products contain no animal ingredients and have not been tested on animals.

    I wish I had bought a dozen!

    thankyou very much wendym.

    I hope there will be some left by the end of the week.
    I am always on the look-out for 'ethical' companies, and don't buy anything from others anymore.
    when at a good price it is infinitely easier. :D

    Bishop Auckland had lots of Ester eggs but people seemed to be missing the Thorntons ones as they had stacked them by the door on the left hand side rather than the more usual right hand side.
  • i got a lovely pink rug with bobbles on for 2.99 in northfield for my 4 year old daughter...they are really cute.

    Does anyone know if they have any of the baby Brio sets in the Crossgates Leeds store please - particularly the Octopus one? I'm over that way tomorrow and would love one to put away for my son. :)
    Sorry for being lazy, I suppose I could just call them if my kids allowed! :rolleyes:

    None in Crossgates, but plenty left in Pontefract - back I go!

    Oh forgot to say yesterday, in the Pontefract store they had pink Hauck sets with a buggy footmuff, parasol and changing bag in down From £9 to about £6 or £7. A couple had labels saying the parasol was broken or missing, but still a huge bargain, and the parasol might be easily fixed.
