    I have just opened one of the Sugar Candy cards I bought (mainly pictures of little girls as fairies etc) and it comes in a strange un-postable envelope made of, as far as I can make out, greaseproof paper! Just be aware if you don't have in a stock of spare envelopes.

    In Edinburgh I got 6 cans of Suso fizzy lemon for £1 - and saw them later in Waitrose for £3.49!
    Also got some Garnier Color Naturals hair dye for £1 - different branches seem to have different random colours... they're handy 'cos you can mix a bit at a time to do roots or streaks and don't have to use the whole pack at once.

(I know it's +8 but i've sat with her and she's very sensible) so thankyou to the poster above :)

    I've bought lots of the sugar candy cards and posted some of them, just turn the card round so picture is to the back, worth it for 29p!
    How much ?????????!!!

    The design I bought had so much written on the back that the address would have been illegible - turning it round was my first thought.
