    I was given a Pandora voucher for Christmas and after 3 visits can't find anything I like. I've been to both the Newcastle store once and the Durham one twice after being told that new stock was coming in.

    Queuing to get in the shop really annoyed me:o

    Anyway I visited again today looking at earrings...I'm not really a bracelet person (confession time:o:))

    And I hope I don't offend anyone by saying what a load of overpriced stuff:mad:
    Tiny stud earrings for about £35 - £50. Some of them wouldn't look out of place in the Argos catalogue for a tenner:o

    Perhaps I've just hit on when stocks are low but I'm not impressed.

    Drifted on to M&S where I got these for £1.99:D

    The photo doesn't do them justice they are really gorgeous

    How could you not be impressed with my studs TM. :p

    shame I never saw this before as have 2 pairs of boots to order from there for my 10 year old (size 7 feet!!!) and the £10 voucher being offered instead of the coat would have been a bonus, but alas I didn't enter and therefore received no code..................

    Bought more tea today. I might have just reached the point where I think I've got enough:rotfl:

    Noticed the razors all reduced and some Loreal men's skincare but Mr TM has his winter beard so didn't take any notice:rotfl:

    Aldo called in Lidl to stock up on the sundried tomatoes:)

    :p

    You could stock up for "flowing February". ;)

    I haven't had a drink but decided against going out, don't want to have to hide anymore in the boot. :o

    I have since the other day got rid of the S&G big box and the bag of chocolates that were in there. :D
