in It's gone, but was it any good?
I think they're open another 2 days. Got some amazing books today so there are still worthwhile things to be found.

    Does anybody have any idea what time Borders in Dundee opens tomorrow? Thought I'd see if they had anything left before I went into work.

    Be prepared for some disappointments
    I picked out 6 books and when I finally got to the till, they refused to sell 3 of them to me. Apparently they had been recalled :-(
    Naturally they were the three main ones.
    Make sure you have time to look round, understandably things aren't in order any more

    In Glasgow today the shelves were pretty bare, but managed to pick up a new release dvd and cd, a book and a magazine for £15! Total price should have been £45! :) was really pleased, but will be sad to see borders go as I really like that store in town.
    Comping Fairy bring some luck my way! :dance:Love my Fiance Spiceboy :happyhear:iloveyou:
