    They should still be on 3 for 2 as well. I had the 20% off voucher on Sunday and it was silly really - 3 mugs for 1.60! I bought the mugs and plates as stocking fillers for my kids and the breakfast sets for everyone elses.

    I think I might get some more for my 19 and 21 year old cousins!

    Still loads of these in the Gloucester Woolies, 3 for 2 as well. Excellent stocking fillers.

    Thanks- got some. Now to persuade my teenagers that these could be painted, filled with sweets and given away to friends. Anyone fancy my chances?:p

    They were 0 in my shop, but they overrode it.
    Have decided to tell the kids that if they can't find a way of using them for friends they may well find them in their own stockings on Christmas day. That should motivate them:rotfl:

    I painted a piggy bank yesterday for my niece (who's only 8 months and needs a piggy bank). The paints and brushes in it aren't bad actually. Managed to do her name neatly and some flowers. lovely big piggy bank, fantastic for the money.
    I had to add eyes too - it was spooky with out!
