    I didn't actually buy any, just noticed it- surely they are not allowed to do this??

    Ring CS. I'd ring Trading Standards if I knew a number for them. What they're doing is beyond immoral! :mad:

    I felt like I was naked shopping today, yes! Was the worst thing could happen. I forgot my coupons........

    Had to rush out the house as workmen putting tar on pavement, if I didn't shift my car and I would been compounded for whole day. Anyhow it was weird. However, I didn't buy much as go shopping again Thursday and won hundred squid on scratchy. Every little helps. Just got back in by leaping over the pavement.

    X have nice day X

    I've done that aswell and only realised when ticking off my hit list, except I was able to leave my basket go home and come back an hour later and the basket was still there, a shame some of the dtd couldn't be the same :o

    Can you set an area for table top/carboot sale that will bring in the punters :)

    Thats what our 'Market Area' was aiming for, parents and businesses to rent a table, but no parents took up the offer as of yet (First advertised it over a month ago)

    Yes please!! :D

    I am involved in my kids PTAs (primary and secondary, I must be mad!) and lots of the prizes we had were MSE finds! Soup, cranberry juice, boots bubble bath, wine gums, smarties etc! We just had our summer fair on saturday too. Thats one of the reasons Ive not been posting as much (that and my mum being in hospital again, being discharged too soon, being admitted again, and now apparently coming home again this thursday!!)

    Is yours a primary school or secondary? Not sure if you mean year 6 or 6th form? That would affect what kind of stalls you may have. Let me know and I can advise you a bit more.:)

    This is a secondary school. (I too am involved in a primary school PTA but really notice the difference in having a church aided secondary school with such a wide catchment area to cover. We have a PTA of 4 members at the moment, which is double what it was for the last 3 years lol!!) I have to admit I havent stock bought any bargains for the fair as there arent many in my area, and I have 6 kids so anything I do get tends to go to my family and disappears fast as Im not as brave as most of the Elite so only buy a little lol!

    Thank you all for your ideas! Im frantically writing everything down lol! xx

    I hate forgetting me coupons. I just end up looking longingly at stuff I could have bought :(
    Nice win on the scratchy. I won £200 once a few years back:T so stopped buying them as I had used up my luck :cool:
