I thought you had bought them instore - sorry! I have got the discount online but it has been stuck on the "we are contacting your bank" page forever. Don't know why the discount isn't on nightwear instore.

Yes me too! Wrapping paper on the wall lol. It seems extreme for bloody skegness but they have always wanted to go. We got such a good deal half board gold accommodation for under £200! Mind you its been booked since march ! I've just seen a Disney land announce on utube where they fill a box with clues, might do that: a little red coat, a bucket and spade, a toy fairground ride, that kind of thing! Too much?

Not possible to be too much if you ask me - they're going to love it!! :j Have to say my DD2 went to Butlins at Skegness for a dancing weekend for GDD and she couldn't believe how great it was - we've always had a bit of 'hi de hi' view of Butlins but she was totally amazed and wants us to go for a holiday there next year.:D

Pinknfluffy - could you actually get them in the car in their uniforms etc as though it's a normal morning, with packed bags hidden in the boot, and then drive past their school, and onwards!

My parents did this to us when we were going on a suprise holiday to france, I cried cos I didnt think I had any clothes packed, I was 6

I got some little (battery operated) tea lights as a gift for my birthday. They were bought at the White Company so wouldn't have been cheap but, I must say, they are really good, very authentic looking, especially if you put them inside a glass.

I have some pillar battery operated candles from Costco last year and got a lot of use out of them all winter and have just replaced the (14) batteries, set for another year's use. But these little tea lights have really impressed me.

You could probably buy similar elsewhere, a lot cheaper, but I just can't wait to use mine in Christmas displays, knowing that they are safe with my grandchildren around. I love candles but have to restrict their use when they are around.

Has anyone seen cheap, authentic looking tea lights anywhere?
