This is close up of the bell if anyone wants to get some.

Lovely bells, the pound shop in town is very small and not so good so don't hold out any hope of it having any of these!!!

For you guys in Northumberland I was in Ashington yesterday in Al's Bargain Store and they sell cello and pull bows and tissue and crepe paper. I got 2 rolls of cello (1 plain 1 dotty) about 4 metres for just over a quid each and the big pull bows were 30-40p each. I was dead pleased with that as I was going to do an online order with my friend and split the postage.

Hi all, has anyone spotted any cheap lager/beer ice buckets?

We have a BHS nearby and they have some with a few beers but their £12.00, don't really want to pay that much for one :rolleyes:. Wanted to put a few snacks drinks and dvds into it and make a big night in hamper.

Many thanks
Aggie

thevicster - super hampers and what bargains you got !

fab baskets thevicster! your OH's nieces are going to love them. fantastic prices too
I couldn't spot the morissons Christmas cup and was wondering if you would be able to post a bigger photo. I bought some from there last year and was wondering what they are like this year. the nearest morissons is near where OH works and i know if I ask him what they are like he won't remember!
Don't worry if the only ones you have are in the basket I will ask OH to take a photo in the shop!! (that'll please him!)
