    Ok now I feel cheated as the one in Bathgate is charging 99p! I've just checked the receipt!
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    Thanks Bluebag, the ones I bought were the same size as the smarties walking canes you get at the seaside (about 30cm in length).

    No these are the same one's I got for 49p. I started to make the sleigh last night, but will finish it today as something came up. Will post pics when done :)

    I did think at the time though I was mis-charged, as they had smaller one's (about 20cms in length) for 49p, then the tiny ones in the boxes. Maybe just in my local store

    So many people view MSE that I am now wondering if teachers etc are going to be overloaded with presents of kitkat sleighs :rotfl:

    I'm a teacher, define "too many".:D

    Thank you everyone for the santa scouting work! We have an Asda and Lidl in Basingstoke, so I will make sure I swing by next time I'm passing! x
