    Scattymam.
    Got DD a couple of nighties from Asda a while back - think it was £4 for 2.
    Always get PJ's from Primark though.

    Think Boots start their 3 4 2s in November but not sure - might be end of October.

    Haven't noticed any xmas stuff in shops but have only been to Tesco in the last fortnight :p
    Officially a non-smoker but still rounder than recommended :p

    Boots start 342 in September I am 99% sure! Their best deals which are 342 and 50% off at the same time start October and I for one cannot wait (assuming they do them again this yr)

    will probs end up going to asda actually but didn't like the designs on the nighties last time I went!
    hope the boots sets come in sooner rather than later - thinking of something for mil's birthday in november.

    Thanks for the heads up on the ribbon - I have ordered one to try!

    Boots book usually comes out about mid September, and according to the lady in our local (small) boots, they are starting to get stuff in already!!

    For nighties Primark if you have 1 near has them in for £3 or really cute fleecy pyjamas for £4, Matalan also had some really nice ones in but didnt notice the price, peacocks as Mum2one says.

    Iceland had party food with purple packaging and silver stars on. so defo not their summer range, Card fair have calendars, diaries, cards and some little gifts. I cant think what shop it was but they had red and sparkley clothes in.

    When i used to work for Morrisons they used to start getting Christmas stuff into the warehouse around now and the Easter eggs came in JUST after Christmas!!
