2008 calendar

off-that-internet!

anyone know where to get a cheapish 2008 calendar from - a family planner type ideally? I went to WHSmiths at the beginning of the week and they were still full price and other shops had sold out.

Hi

I got our Family Planner 2008 calendar from Clinton's last Sunday, half price at £3.49, they also had Supernanny Family Planner. In the Disney Store later i saw a Winnie the Pooh Family Planner for £1.79.

Also try and see if the Calendar Club shops are still open, one i passed was closed, but in another centre it was still there.

Woolworths also had Simpsons ones for half price.

HTH

Thanks for that.

I had a look in Woolworths and they had football and justin timberlake-type awful calendars left. the clintons that I went into had a similar selection left as well. However, I never thought about the Calendar Club - I'll give them a try on Monday (hopefully they'll still be open). I just didnt fancy spending a tenner at WHSmiths for one and was hoping they'd have reduced them by now.

Thanks.

The Rosenborg cheese calendar is still available here:

You can buy the cheese to get the code needed or there's a code posted on the freebie board, here:

(The website now only accepts the first five numbers of the code.) It also comes with 12 X 20p vouchers, which some supermarkets will scan as money off your general shopping. It's not a family-planner calendar but it's nice quality and I thought it might still be OK for a small spend / free / voucher profit.

Hi, can I also ask if anyone has see pocket diarys reduced ?
I normally end up with half a dozen, but this year, I have none. Even missing one at work as they are cutting back and first time in 20+ years not had a desk planner type diary.
Makes me realise how much I use them - have already missed a dentist appointment :eek: as I hadn't got a 2008 Calendar or diary when I made the appointment.

Borders usually do a good selection, but probably a bit early yet for their mega price reductions.

Thanks in advance:T

Oxfam had their diaries reduced to half-price when I was in there last weekend. The pocket diaries were around £2, reduced price.

Gawd, you don't work for the Probation Service do you? We didn't have calendars this year - in fact our team did a "calendar special" secret santa, seeing as we'd have had to buy our own we thought it would be fun to buy them for each other for Christmas instead!

Anyway, I was in Woolworths this morning and all their calendars (wall and desk) were £1. They seemed to have a pretty good selection too.

I work in the wholesale trade and have recently been offered calenders and diaries at pennies from one of the largest importers. I turned them down but within a week or so, discount shops and market stalls will be flooded with cheap diaries and calenders. In the mean time you sholud be able to find a planner from poundland type shops.

Have you checked Amazon?

I appreciate the postage will make the saving poor , if not buying other items to take it to £15, or being a 'prime customer', but hope this of use
