    My poor mum is getting phone calls every day now..."When you next go to HB, can you get me X (10 of), Y (2 of) and Z (just 2)....."? I wish they had one near me.
    Can't wait to go on holiday to Blackpool, as I know there's lots of branches in the north.

    Its in the colonades, check out haris and haris in there too because they have some bargains in there. The other week I got tinker bell t.shirt and jeans set for £1.99 and they had the disney label in. They do kids school clothes too, trousers were £1.
  • Hi, hoping some of you expert shoppers can help me!

    Has anyone seen any supplies of the old style, discontinued
    Natrel deodorant anywhere? I've picked some up in pound shops
    recently but want to stock up if I can! Especially if I can find the
    green 'fougere' one. TIA!

    When i was in today they had lots of lovely different pictures for around £4.99. I got some brown/green linen look ones which are a real bargain compares to some i almost got in au naturale..

    Also, i got the 49p story books with CD. They had some such as sleeping beauty and other stories.

    I also saw some disney princess colour in glittery felt posters in a big box. These looked nice for xmas pressies but didnt see how much they were.

    Hi lab dab, i saw some fab pictures in the coulby newham shop the other day, they had loads!! great for price

    I found rolls of anti-slip matting, branded 'Shopping Channel' (from TV mail order?).

    It's like a rubber mesh that you can put under carpets and rugs to stop them from slipping; or use to anchor things in place to stop them rolling about, e.g. in cars, boats etc. It cuts to size with a pair of scissors - I bought a small roll, cut four 9-inch squares from it, and used it to anchor a 6' x 4' rug. (and still got some left over!)

    Small roll, in grey mesh, is 49p
    Large roll, in black mesh, is 99p

    The cheapest I can find it anywhere else is £3.95 plus postage, so a bargain!
    thanx to op, managed to buy 3 of these this morn for lounge rug.....
