Cheryl, if you're looking for bedding check out TK M*xx if you have one near you (or H0mesense) - they often have lovely stuff in there. Oh, and HoF have a sale on atm I beleive, could be worth checking out their website, I got a lovely set from there last year, duvet and two pillowcases for £30 I think - sooooooo comfy and washes really well.Feb 2015 NSD Challenge 8/12JAN NSD 11/16

Already had TK suggested to me - but means a special trip (bus fare or city centre parking fees) to get there - and very hit and miss on what they've got from what I've been told
Don't know H0mesense, so almost certainly means there's not one around me. Just having a shufty through the Arg0s site before I go to bed.... found a few possibles, but depends on what I find in their sheets and curtains section to go with them - and whether they're in stock locally as most are in the sale

Cheryl - don't know if you have one near you, buti have to admit to liking Ike@ for bedding, i think it's on par pricewise with everywhere else & you always get 4 pillowcases with a double instead of 2 & it's great for my OCD to have them all matching!!
Spoon, hope you had a lovely chilled out night off & really enjoyed it!!

I have managed just another one this week, so I am up to 5. I might need a couple of kippers though, as I have been quite bad this week. Will be better next week. :j*Official DFW Nerd #1368 - Proud to be dealing with my debts*

Quite chuffed as it's made inside the wardrobe look so much more tidy, call me sad but i found the organising quite therapeutic :eek:
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: They sell cough syrup too?!! That shop is just amazing.
No NSDs over the weekend as I've been away. Ah well. It's not as bad as it was looking this time last week.

No NSDs for me over the weekend - was hoping for one today but realised late last night I'd completely run out of loo roll - oops,
Good luck with the no spending for the week ahead everyone.A smile enriches those who receive without making poorer those who giveor "It costs nowt to be nice"0 -

found some I like at Arg0s, but need to hit three different stores to get what I need - and some of it's out of stock for on-line ordering, so that's not an option either!!
May have found some paper and paint to go with it at the Orange DIY store as well.
But nothing ordered/reserved yet, so will try and scan the Ike@ site in my lunch break (should have been in bed a couple of hours ago, so not doing it now) before I head out round the other stores tomorrow evening.......
