  • Will the staff not nab all the best stuff before the stores even open?

    I work there part time, and I bought 85 christmas trees which we were selling at £20 each all for £8.50 - discount.

    Lol, lol, lol, rev 'em up and watch 'em go :rotfl:

    We went today to Marshalls Yard, I grabbed two Rudolph costumes reduced from £4.95 to 10p, walked round the picture frame section, wife said they would never fit me - made for 3 year olds, so put them back on the shelf when no-one was looking - sometimes you grab a bargain for a bargains sake :-)
  • Don't bother checking out the Pontefract one ... nothing at 10p at all and they looked at me as though I was insane when I asked about the sale with items down to 10p.

    Mindst you, at least they were a little bit courteous to me today ... the staff there have no time for anyone usually!!

  • Wahey, 85 trees, haha!! My store did not have any 10p either although stocked up at 25p a week or so ago so no bother.
    Ahhhh.... lemony fresh victory is mineee!!!
  • I got some bows for 10p a pack in the Hayes branch, but nothing else really grabbed me.. There was wrapping paper, bag, tree light bulbs..

    Ah really? well how on earth did you transport that many then? At my store we didnt even have that many left so i dont believe 85! If you can tell me what a Security Code 100 is then i might believe you ;) :beer:
