Out of interest how much are the birthday cakes please?

as far as i can remember as i ordered it over a month ago they are £12.69 we've ordered chocolate cake with chocolate fudge filling & chocolate icing ( can you tell my son likes chocolate? :rotfl: ) & have chosen the balloons decoration which you choose the colours of the balloons & the inscription on the cake definitely worth the money as their cakes are massive!!

Someone has posted on the Grabbit forum that Costco have Skagen watches for £35. This is really cheap and I really want one. Does anyone know if this is nationwide or perhaps just a one-off?
Thanks

We had their chocolate cake as one of the tiers for our wedding cake. Just the standard one, not specially made. For about £7 or £8 it looked fab.

Trying to see about the Skagen watches as not heard of them before.

COSTCO are STILL selling packs of STAMPS at the OLD PRE-INCREASE PRICES of BEFORE April 4th

They have packs of 60 (5 x 12) of "standard" 1st class (was 41p now 46p) and 2nd class (was 32p now 36p)

at a discount of 16.7% 6.5% on the 1st (£22.99 from £24.60 now £27.60)

and 13% 2.1% on the 2nd (£18.79 from £19.20 now £21.60)

They also do 40 x LARGE 1st with 17.36% 6.1% off (£24.79 from £26.40) now £30.00)

I asked at Customer Service how long these prices were going to held for and it appears it might be for as long as current stocks (purchased before they went up) are available - no date currently planned.
I was told my store, Derby, had "LOADS" of them

Was In Aberdeen store last week and they had some really pretty watches, think they were Skagen. Give them a buzz before you go just to be sure.

OH,phoned Costco today to check if halogen ovens in stock,was told No and none in Edingurgh..he went in after work for bottled water,and lo and behold they have stacks of Team Halogen ovens at £34.99(wouldve preferred the previous price of £29.99),Ive asked him to bring one home so i can check it out,cos me being so impatient ive reserved an Argos one that claims to be !7 Litres(dunno if thats a misprint or not),but good thing is both companies will accept returns easily(I hope)
Dunno what kind of a guarantee the Costco one has tho(Argos is only 12months)
