In Heanor today I bought a pack of microwave steaming bags for 89p, there are eight in the box and look every bit as good as the ones on QVC.
I also bought some packs of childrens hair slides with clips that were 10p and some lovely gold gift boxes with a £2.49 sticker on them that were 39p.these were shrink wrapped and lovely quality.

Anyone know how good Rutherglen store is and is it easy to get to by bus from Buchanan Bus Station? TIA.

I went by low level train from Central Station. Rutherglen station is very close to the shop. It was worth going - a reasonably big store with a couple of other pound shops nearby, but my Dad tells me the biggest pound shop (where I found astonishingly high quality wallpaper) has closed.

Just ask at Buchanan Street bus station which buses stop in the Main Street. The store is in the shopping arcade, past the town hall. I like the Rutherglen store, its my nearest one. I went to the Coatbridge one this week for a change but it was really busy and I'd wished I'd gone to the Rutherglen one instead!

Sorry I can't remember which bus numbers go through I get muddled up which ones go down the main street and which ones don't, there are lots of buses. Why don't you have a look on First Glasgow's website and do a route planner then it will tell you or they are usually quite helpful at the bus station.

The cafe in the centre is good for a bacon roll or a toastie if you need a wee break before you get the bus back.

There's a Poundmart outside the centre further along, a Boots, a Savers and in the centre a pretty rubbish Somerfield, Superdrug, card shops, a couple of clothes shops, butcher, fruit and veg stall which is usually really busy.

Always nice to go somewhere different for a change.

Yeah sadly that pound shop has closed, was a really good one and Poundmart where Woolies used to be just isn't as good. Low level train is easy and a short walk from the station, there's now a lift at the station too which makes a difference, there are loads of stairs otherwise. I think the trains are every half hour roughly, possibly more frequent depending on the day.

Edgeley Stockport
Doctor Who die cast Dalek and Cyberman about 6 or 7 inches tall. More of a collector's item than a toy. £3.99 each.
Also a large Dalek card model kit - £2.99 reduced from £12.99... would make a really good Christmas pressy for a fan.

Lyons Cookies 750g 99p

Thanks for that, stupid me, I never thought to look at timetables on the bus companies website:embarasse!
