    Finally made it to Tescos yesterday and managed a few bargains:-
    • 5 x boxes of 30 Christmas cards (2 X 37p, 2 X 49p and 1 X 87p)
    • Box of crackers - £1.25
    • 3 x Hannah Montana wrapping paper 2m - 25p each
    • 7 x value wrapping paper 2m - 3p each (the kids just rip it of anyway, don't they!)
    • 2 x Make Your Own Fairy - 75p each
    • 1 packet make Your Own Christmas cards - £1.25
    • 1 - Make Your own Santa Stop Here poster - 75p
    plus a few other bits and pieces for the girls' stockings! Couldn't see any other real bargains - will wait to see if some stuff is reduced a bit further!


    Hope everyone is okay weatherwise - we have had a lot of snow over the past few weeks but have totally avoided this last batch - must be the only part of the country which has!

    Stay safe.

    Got a full refund and an apology!!

    We saw a different manager, he tried palming us off with it works..... till he switched it on and it said he was doing 25miles an hr..

    He apologised for the inconvience we had with it, refunded in full, then said do you want me to fetch you another model to look at!!

    So off to Halfords we went 5 mins later, new Sat Nav, all set up ready for use - considering b4 we went to Halfords for the whole journey (30 seconds!!) he didn't want one, couldn't shut him up, what a godsend they are, how we wouldn't be without mine....

    Were sorted at last...x

    Glad to hear it!! Good on you for this one. So many retailers think they can push us consumers about!!
