I got a couple of the card readers and worked fine until my daughter put the card in the wrong way around and bent the pins inside, tried bending them back but was no good. Oh well atleast it was only a pound

I tried with a pic and it was ok, not glossy excellent, matt and better than normal paper.
I am using a canon ip4000 and tried printing it with glossy paper selected, next time I will just use normal photo paper setting.

BTW Their 4x6" 25 sheets of normal glossy photo paper I find excellent, not tried the A4 as I have plenty of that.
Also they did have (may again) have packs of cut to size screen protectors (for ipods/phones etc) got several last time

I have been using their photo paper with the canon IP4000 and it is excellent - and using their ink carts for it as well ! Works extremely well together! Incidently the same goes for the 99p store 6x4 as well - and you get more sheets for your money ! :T

They have acyclovir-based cold sore cream for £1 which is great for a drug like that. The one I went to, it was a relatively small white-background box.

Ive used this and it is as good as zovirax

Sorry if I'm bumping this up (newbie here!) but the USB (SD/MMC) card reader, well I got one today, my 256MB SD card I use for my Wii keeps making explorer.exe crash but our old 128MB SD card for our digital camera seems to work fine! I'll have to have a little play around with it and see what I can do! (If I can do anything!)

Must be something that's on the card because I have one of these (in blue, bought from ledshoppe.com but it's the same card reader) and it handles any card I've tried in it no problem

Yeah I thought so too, right now there's 2 AVI's on it, I'll have to try formatting it in my old MP3 Player that takes SD cards (thats what I use for a card reader right now!) :j

Another techy one - USB Charger Car Adaptor.

Excellent for those with iPods and the various MP3 players that only charge via USB - this plugs into your car lighter Got my dad one today.

2.5ltr bottles of screenwash and huge tins of de-icer, definatly worth stocking up if you ask me.
