Oh, I forgot, these too for £1.. http://www.drinkstuff.com/productimg/18077_large.jpg

Happy Birthday musical cake/candle hats. I was eager to buy some for upcoming birthdays but nobody is willing to wear them. Might just buy one for myself, hmph.

In the Belfast store today, I picked up a knitted black v neck jumper for £1 and a pink round neck knitted jumper for £2. They had loads of knitwear for £1/£2, mostly polonecks and jumpers. There were also nice navy and tan bodycon skirts for £1.

Not officially a bargain either but nice nonetheless, a gold stretchy belt (£3): http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/9958/img0022ile.jpg

Southampton - numerous reduced rails so worth having a look always if you go past.

I got a knitted skirt, Norweigian style, black background with red and white, reduced from £10 to £1 - looks OK with thick tights and knee high boots, ideal for summer

A few months back I got the 120 denier thick black winter tights, got XL to be on the generous side, £2 and these have been far far better than any leggings. They have kept my legs warm all winter, dont bag or sag and no feet holes. I wash them with a towel wash and I alternate 2 pairs. Best thing I've bought all winter :T

Very useful. Does it stay together though - I find some press stud belts ping open, very annoying

Might try those 120 denier tights! Great tip for lankies like me. I can't usually get leggings long enough, well, I find it nigh on impossible being 6'1.

I've got another Primark press stud belt (an elaborate beaded one that always gets compliments) and it's never came undone.

Haven't tried the gold belt yet but I'd imagine it's every bit as secure.

I'll have to get a pair for my daughter when they are in stock again - she's 6' 2'' LouLou - and balks at paying Long Tall Sally prices, what a rip off that company is. The very first time I shopped online 12 years ago, it was for her Christmas present from LTS, a really nice maternity outfit.
They sent completely the wrong thing, never a word of an apology when I complained, I ended up in Mothercare a day or two before Christmas so that she had something nice to wear for the festive season.
Rubbish customer service from LTS, poor quality overpriced goods often as well, imo.
Rant over, TG for Primarni!! The customer service staff at the Darlington Primark store are so pleasant and friendly.

Tell me about it! For years I could barely even wear a pair of jeans (thank God for the Tall ranges in Top Shop et al), sleeves too short, half-mast tops that expose my belly button...been there! Buying a coat is a gamble too.

Long Tall Sally does have sales but even then, things disappear quickly, and they're not always good reductions.

Next extra long and M&S extra long trousers/jeans are good. I did meekly ask a Primark assistant if they'd ever introduce a Tall range, and she said, "Doubt it"..so my purchases from there are limited!

I'm 40 years old, and I think the younger generation are getting taller. When I was a teenager I felt like an alien!

I noticed in Primark they had jeans in regular short and long length today folded up on the jeans counters not hung up on hangers- long was 34 leg i think. I've never noticed this before. I'm 5ft 7 and they were wayyyy to long in the leg for me. hth

they have tons of jubilee/union jack themed stuff at the moment if anyone needs anything.
