    ideally id get her nothing shes a nasty piece of work :D lol

    i saw this was on offer but what is a 'normal' size bottle of perfume? is 50ml normal i saw that theres a 30ml one i can get for £20 is this a smaller size? being toally useless here ive just never bought perfume before

    she asked for ghd's told her we cant possibly afford that (my mums happy with her aprox £7 gift) and she said money to buy ghd's but apparently she likes this perfume
    Don't think there is such a thing as a normal size, most fragrances come in 30ml, 50ml, 100ml and 200ml. I would buy what you feel appropriate. GHD's are so expensive to buy for someone that you are not even close to!

    Does anyone know where to buy Liz Earle products, especially the Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser Starter Kit, for less than John Lewis prices? I really want to buy it for my sister but it's pricey :(
    I have only ever bought it from Liz Earle website or John Lewis but a colleague told me you can get it from QVC but no idea what their prices are like. Liz Earle is expensive but you can get travel sizes of most of their products.

    Hi
    I would be grateful if anyone could post if they comes across any cheap castles with Knight figures or just Knight figures.
    I have seen the Chad Valley one in Argos but there is none in stock in my area (tried over 15 stores) & Amazon have it for nearly triple the price:eek:. I have also found the cheap packs of plastic grey/black knights on Ebay/Amazon but my son wants some colourful ones in possible. Every year my son wants the traditional hard to find toys! grrr!
    Thanks in Advance

    DJ Bake-Thanks for the suggestion,even with the 20% off it is a tad pricey as it was not meant to be his main present but if nothing else comes up he may be spoilt! i'll keep it in mind.
    I have all his other wants Army figures,tanks,combat stuff etc but
    I have spent half the day trailing high st shops,charity shops & 2nd hand shops for Knights!!grr!!!

    Had the same idea as DJBake-ELC-but they are quite pricey. However,
    Just found one similar to what my son had-traditional wooden castle. I was looking for you and couldn't believe some of the prices!!

    Found one at ToysRUs- is this any good- £34.99 but looks more like a "proper castle"!! Also part of a multi buy offer too.


    Edit-cant get link to work! Just type in wooden castle at ToysRUs ! Hope it helps xxx

    Thanks for your help Nellienoo I shall look in to it :o, everyone is so helpful on here.
    I have managed to source a cheapish pack of coloured Knights & then DS caught me looking at the cheap plastic packs on Amazon/Ebay & said they looked 'cool' so may settle with them also.
  • Jus then i bought I was almost finished, has anyone seen any gloves for a 3 yr old girl with long sleeves? Like wrist warmers , but gloves? I can only find them for adults!

    If anyone sees any knitted ones, not the silky opera dressing up ones! I'd love to know!!! Thank you!

    Hi, has anyone come across good quality but reasonable Army/combat costume for a boy of 5? Amazon/E Bay have many but they don't look great!. I do like the HM Armed Forces one in Argos but it's £25 & thats with £5 off at the moment.:eek:
    If anyone comes across it any cheaper or one similar i would be grateful.
    I have even been to the camping shops but by the time i buy the jacket,trousers etc it is no cheaper.
    Thanks in advance.
