  • Hi, just back from a weeks holiday and popped into telford HB. They had some large ....and I mean large... terracotta effect planters but really they are fibreglass for £3.99 each. I'd been wanting something for plants by the garage but with my driving skills I have been looking out for something a little more robust than clay at a price that I can afford. Hey presto 3 for less than £12. off to plant them up now.

    Also picked up a Jane Asher(?) nutmeg grater for 49p. I treated myself recently to a block of expensive (not very MSE I know) chocolate as seen on TV (Willy's Wonky chocolate factory) so the grater will be dedicated to my choc.

    Top Gear fans might like the model set I bought for my nephew for £3.99. It makes the 3 cars that they took to France via the channel. Oh and the new Argos catalogue have got The Stig duvet covers for £19.99

    Hiya,

    Yes you can, there is an order form inside the box and the larvae gets sent from Spain. I think it is about £6?

    I've just been to the Home Bargains in Burnley and they had these toy sets, Mickey Mouse or Disney Pixar, and they contained 4 story books, a music player with 20 songs, and a picture viewer that you put different slides (or reels in this case) in and see the pictures - £5.99 :)

    They had quite a few of these at the Cannock store. They also had another set (it was a pink box, think it was Dora the Explorer)

    Loads of Shilpha Shetty perfume there as well... selling quite quick

    Was just popping on to say Shilpa Shetty perfume was back in stock at Morley in Leeds on Friday - I finally managed to get one and it is really lovely. It goes on a bit strong but once settled it smells fab and lasts all day. It reminds me of an expensive Escada perfume I tried on in the US. Bargain at £1.99. I hope I can get more next time, I want a refill and one for a present (probably not now I have announced it on here though LOL!)

    Morley also had the laptop covers mentioned above, and Crossgates Leeds had some lovely car seat covers with raised circles for comfort in a similar fabric for £2.99.

    Has anyone seen the mis-shape chocs lately, the brown bag with the clear window? Not seen any in weeks.
