Spotted in both Bradford & Leeds today Fiskars Bow maker, winter border punch & hand punches. Sorry don't how to best to describe them but the card makers amongst us will know what I mean if not google as I can't post links. They were all 99p from a quick search they normally retail for £12+. They were amongst the stationary stuff.0

Plus there were a few of the Leapstart consoles and a good number of the Turtlewax gift sets previously mentioned. the Christmas gift stock is definitely out already.
I popped into Selby store today. What's the Shilpa Shetty perfume like? I saw it, but couldn't see a tester

I popped into the one in Liverpool city centre (the one near Liverpool One) and got some of that relish so I can do homemade McDonalds
I also got some other grocery bits but probably could have spent a fortune even in there :rotfl::rotfl:Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!0 -

I bought one today in HB Leek and it smells really, really nice. I am an avid perfume collector(!!) and have far too many bottles open at once! I normally like Calvin Klein perfumes and Dolce Vita...stuff that has quite a lasting smell without being sickly and this is perfect! Far more grown up than alot of the celebrity perfumes....reminds me a bit of CK Euphoria0 -

It's really nice, quite sweet-smelling, and goes on a bit strong at first, but it quickly settles and then lasts all day.
I like it a lot and even though you get a large bottle that lasts a while even if you use it daily, I keep picking up another bottle when I see them to keep me stocked up.
Would make lovely Christmas gifts too

I have been to 3 different Home Bargains & a BM as well in the past 48 hours
BUT I've gotten most of my Xmas shopping done.
I managed to pick up a little joke book for my dads hamper for 39p (A Tankful of motoring jokes) and a football DVD. Considering how hard he is to buy for I'm a very happy bunnyGot some others but I can't post what they are - I know my mum & sis both read these forums
