  • Our one closed today - I admit to buying some media stuff that I would've bought eventally anyway, although it was very sad to see the decimated state that the store was in at 2pm today when it dropped to 80% off - that was the only really useful shop in the little shopping centre near home - wonder what effect it will have on the other retailers now.
    2014 20p savers club #2 I've given up trying to keep track of how much that pig eats!
    2014 £2 savers club #3 - I've no idea, but the pig is beginning to get mighty heavy :eek:

    80% off - my mum bought a load of CD's all at £1- £2. There were a few chart cd's DVD's and gameboy games when we got there, all other games had gone. Still a bunch of kids clothes, cards and pencil cases and that was pretty much it.
    A waist is a terrible thing to mind.
