    Hi All, Mr T was a god send today - went in to town to do some bits of christmas shopping and my do the fortnightly shop and was getting more and more stressed out because i cant for the love of me think what to get my bf. Anyway went into Mr T's and was trudging round , when tada!!! the discounted dvds box!! It was huge and there were LOADS of DVDs reduced down to like £3 - £7. anyway after a bit of ferriting through i was about to give up when this little girl next to me (about 4years) chucked a load of DVDs into my side (one of those two joined bin things).........Woohoo!!!!!!!!!! The complete first series of Shameless two dvds in the box for £7. Might have a look online now in HMV to see if i can find the other series and get him them as a present. Few more bits and some stocking filelrs and he'll be happy
    Time to find me again
