I tried Lisb*rn this week, got a nice SA to scan loads for me as store scanners don't seem to be working, the snowglobes scanned full price. Did try somwhere else maybe lurgan and they were going through full price too. Did 4 different stores this week so can't remember. Was looking a DAB radio. Saw the 6p rolling pins in Antrim and Crumlin if anyone is interested. There are some £1 thomas the tank engine duvet covers in Antrim too. Have loads to catch up on here and baby is sick...again. Found Hello kitty art set from £15 to £2 will try to post photo later. Baby awake and yelling.

What are the 6p rolling pins pls?? I haven't been looking for them, and I need one :rotfl::rotfl:

Ideas please!:)

I have loads of used, glass holders, that had Glade or Airwick candles in.
Other than throwing them away, (a shame as some of them are really pretty and that's not very MSE), has any one got any ideas what other use they could be put to?

Any tips, greatly appreciated.:D

Hi you could use them to put dips in or store food in the fridge, also could use them for penny jars or storing small things in them

The Thomas duvet covers - have they always been there or have the cheap ones appeared recently? I ask because none of the half dozen stores I've tried had them so I haven't checked in a while. Unfortunatley I'd spend more in petrol going to Antrim than I'd save on the duvets.

Hi Caz2703, my friend's local is Antrim and they have always been there, soz I didn't realise you were looking one but she did tell me on Friday that a 'friend of Martin's ' was in and cleared the shelf :eek::eek: not sure, they might have re stocked though. HTH

Miss laid. My nose is being tantalised by the imaginary smells of those welsh cakes baking! Never made em in my life but they look really homely n satisfying. Do you put lashings of butter on em whilst still warm. I can just imagine savouring one with a brew. Mmmm.

I am doing NOWT today. Went out this morning after breakfast but as I have an assortment of curry dishes to use up from yesterday, a smidging of boozy baileys cake and a board of cheeses in the fridge to use up, I am not cooking a thing today!!!

I am sat here going through my tatty farmhouse kitchen cookbook looking for more suet recipes (I LOVE new ingredients!) and found a cracker.
Suet pastry is as quick as normal pastry (2 parts flour, 1 part fat and water to bind) but in the book it recommends using this for baked savoury rolls.
As you know, we regularly have 'leftover pie' (basically a pie made with any substantial leftovers) but here they recommend doing similar with a suet pastry. Roll it out into a rectangular shape, spread your leftovers (or bacon n mushroom, cheese n onion, etc) on the pastry, moisten edges then roll up like a Swiss roll. Then bake in oven.

Easy n how cheap is that!!!!

I love it. That will certainly make an appearance in our table in the near future!!! :T

Never been to Anrim store before, It was on the way to Asda so I thought to have a nosey. There were more there. Can't remember what the SEL was but deffo not £1. I think there were some more Hello Kitty art sets there and some 6p rolling pins.

I got some on the bathroom ledge I pop little odd and ends in like hair grips pony tail bands another one holds cottonwool balls so I can grab 1 easily rather than open the big storage jar.

That's a lot of stores

Can I ask if there were more of the hello kitty art sets and where you got them?
Just wondering if it's something mil could pick up for dd...

I took the last 2 in Lurgan. There were 2-3 in Antrim. Don't think anyone in their right mind would have paid £15 for them.
