I went to the Cardiff HomeBargains, I wish i'd stopped off at the Newport one as well now, can't really justify the £5 toll to go back again for a while now.

Can i ask where in newport is Home Bargains please

Me and my friend only exchanged token Christmas presents last year promising ourselves a day out somewhere in the New Year instead and I'm wondering if a trip to some of the big shops you mention on here would be worthwhile.

I live in Warwickshire so can anybody suggest somewhere?

There's a Hobbycraft in Coventry which I avoid because it is so expensive and I tend to stock up through eBay at the moment.

which shops were you interested in going to?

i have had a look on three websites, Home Bargains, The Range and Instore, they all have stores in Coventry if this is of any help to you?

Don't know :rotfl:

Somewhere like Hobbycraft that does a wide range of things, but much cheaper!

Is that of any use to you? Not sure what they sell but you can find some great bargains in pound shops

Thank you for that, but I was thinking along the lines of a day trip to one of the shops recommended on here.

Julie H - This shows where all the Home Bargain stors are. I might treat myself to a trip to Gloucester this weekend. Or possibly the Lacock scrapstore. hmm I really shouldn't spend anymore money!

oh sorry thought you meant a day trip shopping not to a specific store. Will keep looking

Would make lovely gifts if you had the patience to do a set. could always use bigger buttons to make it easier
