    They had a load of different Wilton cake decorating stuff on an end of aisle, from Trick sparkler candles for 39p , cupcake wraps , some cake stamp set things (like this 1 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Wilton-6-Piece-Flowers-Cake-Stamp-Set-/301184206080?_trksid=p2054897.l4275 ) for 99p and a few baking pans, think these were less than £5
    Booo!!!

    Warning- bought a musical flower birthday candle for about 90p it was fun you light a sparkler in the middle that burns for a short time then the petals which have wee candles open up and it plays Happy Birthday forever. Came downstairs this morning & hubby & daughter were messing about pretending to be Zombies rocking back & forward singing Happy Birthday along to the music from the candle which is still playing from the bottom of the bin 14 hours after first being lit!!! :eek: So if you do buy it, make sure you can bin it somewhere where the music can't drive you mad.
    This is the type of candle http://www.amazon.co.uk/Musical-Flower-Birthday-Candle-Pink/dp/B003EGIBGC
    Booo!!!

    DD bought one for DGD1's birthday, even drowning it didn't kill it! Eventually someone jumped on it.

    Spotted the 49p boxes of Loom Bands today, in the Fleetwood store. Maybe all the stores have had deliveries???

    I also bought some of the Wilton Cake Punch inserts. They had some I've not seen in their stores before, a pack of 3 for £2.99. I've had to buy the actual punches for these inserts elsewhere, on the internet. Has anybody been lucky enough to find the actual punches in a Home Bargains store?
