    :D:D:D You can never have enough Portmeirion ;) especially at these prices :D

    I must be the embodiment of that motto:rotfl:Anytime the shop runs out of stock they can pop around the mine for emergency supplies. Not that I would hand them over though.:rotfl:

    How much did all that cost? And how much did you save?

    I am so trying to resist this. I don't really need them but I really want them. The only thing putting me off is the delivery cost. I know that's really reasonable, given the weight and how they need to be packed but......

    It's FREE postage over £50 :D £4.95 isn't bad considering they are £4.99 each (against £2) in T K Maxx

    They are good, I have cupboards full and its all seconds but you couldn't find the fault. they also second items if they have a motif that's been discontinued or that's not normally on that item but I don't know if you can order those online.
    The sales people pick the orders and we saw them yesterday going over each plate carefully.

    They had loads of these in the stores yesterday.

    :) Me too - most of mine are Seconds & it's hard to spot the flaw :) got some unusual ones from Portmeirion Village in the 80's.
    My original collection were wedding presents in the 80's & these are all Firsts. But never used :o as I have numerous Seconds for everyday use :)
    I love the fact you can mix & match rather than having them all the same. I do have my favourites - Daisy, Passion flower & Honey suckle ♥

    Thank you so much! I bought a full set for around £50.
    I never thought i'd ever have a 'proper' dinning set. I could cry with joy.
