    There's only a smallish Asda near me, and they don't have much in the way of homeware - I'd have to travel 25 miles or so to a larger branch. I wonder how helpful Asda's customer service would be if I telephoned to ask if they had any white baskets in stock, and whether they'd put them aside for me until Saturday? I might ring them and see!

    There's no Home Bargains, boo :(

    Asda slippers -£1.75
    Asda l.socks -£2.00
    Dove Products -£4.00
    Boots cloth - .99
    Couple of Avon products free.

    I went into local florist and asked her to make me two big bows and she gave myself a full roll of wrap for £1.50(think she felt sorry for me lol:rotfl:)

    Total £12.84p:T Did look in all stores first from Asda,to Instores,poundlands,tesco,boots etc as all Dove products changed price bigtime so well worth the trek,had fun doing it also except the wrap as none would sell my xmas stuff,oh and smaller florists best to go to.
