I can't wait until Primark in Livingston opens. It looks to be huge!

Me too - from Uphall!!

The only drawback is everyone in West Lothian will be wearing the same clothes.

December 15th it opens!! :j

Yep thats true but at least Livingston (and Bathgate!!) are now getting some new shops. It will hopefully help things along as to be honest the shops were getting a little dire.

I love fleecy PJs from Primark so I can't wait. Not so much the clothes (esp trousers) as the sizing is pretty hit or miss

The new one in Princes Street, Edinburgh is due to open sometime this month....although they've been saying that for months now :mad: .....but I won't hold my breathe, what with Princes Street being dug up yet AGAIN, to repair the still new-unused-and-not-yet completed tram lines!!!!! :mad::mad::mad:

I don't know of ANYONE who was asked if they wanted a tram in Edinburgh!!!! I'm REALLY p!!!$$ed off that this will probably cause even longer delays to the new Primark opening ( as well as the waste of MILLIONS of £'s spent on this..the trams...venture!!! (Sorry for the rant!!)

Apologies if this was posted before. I picked up an Opia ceramic roller hair brush (for use with hairstyling, works with hairdryer to create curls, rolls etc) a fairly small barrel, was £1.50 and it works very well.
Regarding the underwear, the best buys imo are not the cotton 5 for £2.50 pairs but the seamless stretch synthetic ones at 3 for £5. These are soooo comfortable and wear really well. I've got a dozen pairs and unlike a lot of Primark stuff, the sizing is very generous.
I wonder if anyone else with girls in the family who don't like pink have a problem finding Primark clothes? My 10 yo DGD (size 12/13) hates pink and getting Primark gear for her is such a challenge.
Picked up some lovely T-shirts for children at £1 in Darlington Primark. Good range of colours and sizes
Have to say I'm disappointed with the selection of jewellery at the moment. I bought some gorgeous Murano style glass pendants a few years ago that are indistinguishable from the real thing. Would love to see these again.
I'm visiting Glasgow for the day Saturday - am sooo tempted to pop in to the main store!

They have some gorgeous really thick microfleece PJs again this year, niece took hers up to in-laws in Inverness when it was the middle of the big freeze, these were a life-saver. I'm up North too and looking forward to wearing mine. Also bought some very pretty brushed cotton pjs that are ideal for cooler autumn nights. (Darlington store.)

I agree, the seamless underwear is marvelous - so comfy and lasts YEARS. And they don't bunch up etc.

I think the problem with the normal underwear is the body of the pants is made of a stretchy material, but the trimmings are usually NOT stretchy, causing a problem and them to split.

On topic I got a gorgeous floral mac type coat at the weekend. It wasn't reduced but was £18 - which was very cheap especially as a lot of the other coats were £25.

I'm probably the only one, but I wear my fleecy pjs all year round! (Just the bottoms though). I do look forward to wearing them lots on cold winter nights.
And from Saturday I will finally be within walking distance of a Primark, after having lived at least an hours drive away! So excited
