Got a £1.12

Had coffee in Costa inside T's today and the store manager walked through so we started chatting to him. Jovial guy, had had a visit from their legal team today to show them what a store was like. I suggested he put them on the tills for a day, but he said they didn't like to get involved in real stuff. Our extra store is 100 sq metres (may have the wrong units). He said there were about 15 stores that were 120 sq metres and they were the largest. Don't know if that is interesting but he did chat and wanted to know if we had any complaints or suggestions for the store.

Just been to Tesco.....in front of store there is a pile of boxed bikes on sale and a large reduction sign. As I get closer I note this marvellous bargain...4p off ! Was £60....now £59.96 !!!!!! Wow !!

Meant to take a photo but forgot on way out....

The size of Tesco non-food reduction signs always makes me laugh.

In my local Extra we have to go up escalators to get to the store as its built above the carpark. The lobby is full of summer line, Lawnmowers, tables, chairs etc all with naff 'reductions' on.

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!!



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

Kymie, is it the Academy your organising the fayre for?
Do Ricara still do the school uniforms, if so it would def be worth asking them to donate.
They used to do car boots at that school a few years ago, before it became an Academy, so it's always possible you could advertise a car boot for the same day, prob need to meet some regulations though i'm not sure.
Have you advertised in the local paper and the little magazine they give away in sainsbobs.
Prob also worth asking at Sainsbobs and possibly David O' jones as they are normally really good at promoting local stuff and perhaps Smarts.

I could probably find a few bits for a raffle , if that's any good to you, nothing exciting, but as they say every little helps

Also perhaps a Karaoke machine, the older kids might go for that. Or could you possibly persuade a driving instructer to come to the school and give brief lessons, drives in his car, I know they did this for a school fayre some years ago and used the playground on the elm grove side. This might interest the older kids as they will be starting to drive soon.
