I've just ordered a pack of 3 reporter's pads for 59p so hopefully the CD player will still be in stock!

Mine arrived today too... tinny sounding speakers, but maybe try some old other ones later....

Lightning quick delivery! My gel pens leave marks on the paper too! :mad:

PS. The ruler is average

Showoff I ordered a 29p ruler from Staples in October 2004 to come with some free stuff. My order has been sat on their system ever since, and every time I email to complain they never reply, so I just have to draw my lines by freehand

how fab!!

Have been a lurker on MSE for ages and this is my first post! I spotted SS thread on the debtfree wanabe board and have been thinking about a new cd player! So thanks very much... :T

i order my 39p ruler yesterday and my ruler and cd arrived today - the ruler nearly got lost in the huge box tho

yay it's here & it's playing the busted cd i got for ds1's birthday with the £5 voucher (he loves thunderbirds are go!) perfectly adequate for a 4 year old's party!

Mine has just come and I haven't opened the huge box yet. Will do soon though! I was looking for something to replace my borken stereo lol!

I know it's free but does it play mp3?

Haha - i was dubious as to whether it would come through based upon my £1.69 purchase of some biros but sure enough my cheapo CD player arrived from Staples this morning!! I did see that other items were cheaper but decided that biros are something i'd probably use more (and I do need some) so...

Well what's it like? The speakers are rubbish. Small, tinny, absolutely rubbish. However, I've plugged in my £18 Tevion portable speakers from Aldi (probably in stock still at your local retailer) and BLAM! - sweet, sweet music!

portable speakers: £18
micro CD player (and pack of biros): £5
A stylish, portable music system for under £25? PRICELESS!

What an absolute bargain. Deserves MSE post of the month for sure!

Great spot, SS. Great spot. :T :beer:

(P.S. offer ends tomorrow - Fri 28th - so move swiftly if considering... and, no, it doesn't play mp3 CD-ROMs but for the price i wouldn't expect it to )

I'm really disappointed with the quality of the product. It really isn't worth the money I paid.

39p - for a rubbish ruler!!!!!!!!!!

But the CD player is great, well my three year old likes it anyway.

Cheers OP
