Twin packs of Fox's Golden Crunch Creams, 460g total for a quid can't be bad

Added: Also a large stand of magnets, with funny/ cute sayings. Looked very good quality with loads of choice.

I got a couple of packs of the biscuits (also had chocolate ones) as they are my favourite as in tesco they are 99p for one single pack not twin! I was vary going to the till in case they were one of their £2 items in the wrong place as I found out with robinsons squash the other day!

I had a wander around Poundland this afternoon, specifically to get flip flops for the little one. They had lots of mens (Union Jack), medium sized ladies and also for older children, including some Cinderella, Minnie Mouse and Frozen. The range of styles for toddlers was very limited, but did the job.

I was v pleased that I also found a Tangle Teezer! I knew it would end up in Poundland eventually....good things come to those that wait

Was is an actual Tangle Teezer? Or a copy ? I will go on a mission tomorrow:D

I tell a lie.

Now that the packaging has been removed I can see it's a Tangle Attack. So not the TM'd original but has passed the tangle test and can be handled with ease by our 2 yo. In fact she even had a go on my hair, saying "gently, gently" which is exactly what I say yo he when dealing with the most convoluted knots!

(Not really about Poundland, just me wibbling on about detangling brushes for wet hair) :cool:

I have seen the "Tangle Attack" in Poundland on and off over the last few years (assuming it's the one I think it is)..no experience of it though I do know some HUKDers weren't keen (apparently the bristles aren't as soft as a Tangle Teezer and its counterparts).

I have the Wet Brush, Tangle Teezer and the Denman Tangle Tamer. Out of all of these my favourite is the Denman - it doesn't fly out of damp hands the way the TT does - it catches hair as it should and it's the one I use most. The other two I just use for travelling and it wouldn't be a heartbreak to lose them.

Tangle Teezer must have picked up on the "Handle = Good" opinions out there as they now have a handled version. Haven't tried that one.

I didn't spot a Tangle Attack but I have two TT dupes I was sent to review, so would have to resist buying one.
I spotted some cute little Calippo lip balms - orange flavour - ideal for warmer weather. The range of items available on the drinks and snacks 3 for £1 had expanded since my last visit and included Walker's Crisps with the money draw offer.
I spotted some items that appeared to have gone missing had returned - hair dye, Bloo Maxi toilet blocks, and 550 ml bottles of Lenor.
Not particularly good value were the sachets of Mr Muscle drain cleaner granules, probably a variation on caustic soda, which you can buy in Wilko's.
500g of sultanas was decent value, and I got some Bobby's coffee syrup (vanilla) which is quite nice. There were some packs of Lotus coffee biscuits to go well with this.
Some of the Jane Asher cake decorating items were 25p, bags of toffee were 50p as were Hallow'een sweet packs.

Not much in the way of books, the only one I can really recall was a biography of Conchita Wurst. More for children though - lots of Horrid Henry and some other popular titles.
