    All natural collection poppy and sunflower range are now half price and buy one get one free. It's unbelieveable, 2 large shower gels for 80 odd pence, miniture bath pearls, really pretty 2 for 99 pence and loads of other stuff, I spent £18 on these 2 ranges today and came out with bags and bags of stuff, all for end of term presents for school, play group, nursery etc. etc. and off course i got my electrical voucher.

    Whats wrong with not sending any cards? I haven't bothered for years- its a rip-off, just lining the pockets of card companies, same as Easter cards, Mothers day, fathers day, pet gerbils day, thanks teacher cards. Might as well just walk into Clintons, empty your wallet on the counter and walk out again.

    I'd rather spend my money on cheap beer at Somerfields!!!!!!!
    Just because you used to be you think everybody else is, don't you?

    Nothing wrong with buying cards in the sale, i have tons of Crimbo cards in my loft which i buy in the sales, couldn't care less if they are "Soooooo last year", i'm not a fashion follower and couldn't give two hoots if they are the previous years or the previous 5 years cards as long as my nearest and dearest get a good Christmas wish, it's the thought behind the card you know, we don't need to compete for the trendiest card !!!
