            Ravensthorpe today had an 'Amazing Alison' doll for around £10 (I think!) RRP £70, but you can get it much cheaper online.
 They also had some ITNG vests (boys and girls types)- 2 pack for £2, and 3 packs of Thomas briefs for £2.
 Just remembered they had various Harry Potter stuff - including Room of Requirement for less than £10, and a sorting hat for about £8.The IVF worked;DS born 2006.0

            A New HB store is opening in Leeds City Centre - Merrion Centre (Woolworths). I would have thought it will take them a few months to refurbish the store before the opening - I will have to be patient. I was sad to see the close of a long standing store, but very very happy to be getting a HB 2 minutes away from work. :TJosey0
