Sorry its not very clear!

Sorry incase have missed earlier thread they're from primark they had single, double & king and the double were £16 x

Arrrgh don't.....I had one of these in my hand the other day and put it down, managing to get out of the shop without purchasing. I love it though and I have feeling it may end up being in the linen cupboard before santa comes! It was the reindeer one I had hold of £20 for a king. And its flanalette type stuff so v cosy. Must not buy must not buy....

Same here! I was so tempted.
If they were under £10 then maybe, but I can't justify spending £16 on a Christmas duvet set.

They're so nice though...

Sorry if this has been posted already.

Home Bargains are selling bulk packs of selection boxes for anyone needing a few.

Also - a while ago I remember someone saying they were doing a poker themed gift.

Chocolate Buttons are selling chocolate poker chips (like chocolate coins). Obviously there is postage to pay, but if you were buying other things it might work out?

There's also some poker gifts and poker chip like chocolate coins in either our Binns (Which is House Of Fraser) or BHS (I can never remember which of those is which!!)

They are £3 but you do get quite a lot in the net. I'm pretty sure it was HOF. ETA: It's BHS - my mum just corrected me :rotfl:

If you have a Boyes (not sure if just a yorkshire/lincolnshire thing?!) they seem to have them in there, also seen one that is "The Butler"

They're also in dunelm mill but they're different to the ones I have. DM is: http://www.dunelm-mill.com/shop/his-lordship-mug-201923?utm_source=google&utm_medium=googleshopping&utm_campaign=gshopping

and the one I have is: http://www.furfeatherandfin.com/product/106/km32/his-lordship-and-her-ladyship-mugs.html#.UG8hYU3AeSo (only have the 'her ladyship' one )

Thanks,love these! found some on fleabay. :T
I've got a thing about mugs. Love the Emma Bridgewater ones but they are very expensive.:eek:
I've been bargain hunting online today but it's never the same as hitting the shops but I've just found out I'm going to be in a place called Stirling for an afternoon later this month so it will be nice to be in a big place with lots of shops, hopefully there will be lots of bargains to be had.

Do you also have a Debenhams that isn't really a Debenhams ?

I have friends there, that I visited a couple of years back. I am sure I went in there. But then it may have been Binns. I know I kept laughing and got very confused because none of the shops seemed to have the right name.:)

those that go into Cardiff, do you not park by the museum, that always seemed like a fair cost?

On a weekend and school holidays yes, but on a general weekday it's full by about 8.00am! I catch the train into Cardiff normally from where I live as its much less hassle but if you have lots of bags the car is easier. Getting into Cardiff on a Saturday at the moment is my idea of hell though - it is so busy.

I'm kind of hoping they get reduced at some point but they are lovely so I don't imagine they'll hang around long enough to get reduced.

The only exception to this is MY ANGEL. My Mum and Dad got her to go on the tree for my first Christmas, and I still get her out every year . (They didn't bother before they had me) She doesn't go on the tree anymore (we don't have anything on top of the tree), but hangs in the middle of the welsh dresser.

I have the same one too - it seems every year we have to replace the little elastic bands, either around her ankles or her wrist
