    Thanks Clairibel I haven't seen these before, can anyone tell me if the scent lasts for long and if they can be used after the scent has gone if you just keep replacing the batteries? Thinking that they would be a safer option than candles at Christmas time.
    Thanks for any advice.:)
    the scent isnt very strong but it doesnt seem to fade either cos mine is still the same a couple of months later. the batteries are replaceable and the top is hollowed out so you could even put a few drops of essential oils in the top to add extra fragrance

    I went today - bought far too much but I did get all the basics, toilet rolls, kitchen towel, pasta in packets and mug shots etc.

    Interesting things include....

    Lee Stafford Eu De Toilette in Pink - £2.99, normally £9.99

    Two Spode Diamond Jubilee plates - at 99p they will look lovely and kitch with my dining set.

    Glade Christmas Scented Candle - £1.60ish. It's a Christmas one in snow scent. Loved it and they're about a fiver in "normal" shops.

    London 2012 Mugs - two of the 99p sets and one for 29p. We have a theme of Olympic mugs so they will go very well with that.

    A BB Cream - I wanted to try these and they had a Pure one for £1.99. Better than the £7 ones as I just wanted to see what the fuss was about.

    Retro Colgate (1950s style) 2 for £1 - so, so cute.

    T Zone nose pore strips - fiver in Boots - £1.30 for me.

    Very happy with the haul today....

    Picked up a Vampire kit with plastic fangs white makeup & a tube of fake blood, WARNING the fake blood stains really badly I look like I've got a rash or burnt the back of my hand where I tested the blood.
    Booo!!!

    I had a look on YouTube at cuponk, a good deal of those playing with it were old teens an adults. Looked great fun for all so I went down and bought my two one each to play with on Christmas day. Mine are 15 and 19 but they will love it!

    Check out the YouTube vids, it's great!
