    Ours (Stockton) closes on the 30th> Went in this morning and it didn't even look like a shop any more. Fittings for sale, even shopping trollies. All very sad. Picked up a couple of bits that we would have been buying elsewhere today anyway, but couldn't help but feel guilty being there. All very sad.

    Went to the Bicester store today - 50% off. DVDs and games weren't much cheaper at half price than I could get elsewhere, so didn't bother. Got a box of Maynards Sports Mixtures for half price though. Yum.
