    There were some little wedding photo frames - pack of 12 in silver or pewter for very little money in Newport. I thought they were really neat & would make a wonderful little gift for those people who had bought presents, nicer than just a thank-you.
    Sorry I can't remember the price - somewhere between 99p & 3.99 for 12 (very inexpensive & they looked good & chunky) - would take a photo just larger than passport size.

    The Foster grants in ours looked awful - little choice. I expect the better ones had gone as all were £9-10 original price. I'll stick to the poundland Foster Grant ones, as they, when they have them tend to have a lot of choice.

    Has anyone bought the tiered solar light bird table at £14.99? Picked it up but seemed light & wondered if it might blow over? I suppose you could fill the bottom layer with sand? Anyone - thoughts?

    Looked at the wooden one at £9.99 but wondered if the solar one might last longer?

    I bought the tiered solar light bird table & although it is light once it is filled with seeds/food & water its weighed down. I also added some soil & plants to the bottom tier which looks lovely and also gives it extra weight. The birds love it. Only 2 problems is that it gets covered in bird poo (but thats to be expected & can be easily cleaned off) & the solar light isnt very bright, but it does look pretty. Im very pleased with my purchase, had it about a month & not fallen over once. Hope that helps :)

    Home Bargains in East Manchester on Ashton Old/New Road (never sure which is the right one!) had Lanson Black Label Champage for £16.99.....bargain! There were only 6 bottles left. Lanson normally retails for about £30 when it's not on offer.
