    Had a look, though there didn't seem to be as many there as the other day as they were in the middle of moving things around. There were a couple of A4 ones but they all had patterns of some sort, no standard black, blue or red.

    Thanks Kim13, not worried about colours as it's for home not work. I'll head off to my nearest branch tomorrow, fingers crossed. Lol.

    Well, I headed off to our nearest Poundstrecher at West Auckland and whilst they had a goodly selection of 2018 diaries including A4 page to view they didn't have the one I want which is week to view in A4 size! I guess i'll have to wait for the other chains to catch up...

    In case anyone else is looking for A4 week to view and are in the North East, I finally got one at Boyes. £2.79 for the standard Black/Blue/Maroon variety or 20p extra for a padded cover.

    It is, however I've wasted too much time and shoe leather already in search of the one I want, so needs must - and still heck of a lot cheaper than WHS, Ryman's etc.

    I don't think week to view are very common in that size (usually it's day to view) so the OP may have struggled to get it cheaper anyway.

    Glad you got what you wanted OP and sorry that Poundstretcher wasn't any use.
