Our very large Sainsbury's had a lot of very reduced (70% off) but nice stationery bits and bobs, suitable for young and older girls in particular!

Pogo...they did the same to me

Noooo take us off the news - I don't want everyone knowing about these bargains!!

Glad you are getting better Reastie, and yes COME BACK Isaac.

AND pleeeeeeeeease someone tell me, should I get the pink or black bag?

black . much more classic

Pink! But I suppose it depends what kind of pink. Barbie, no. Raspberry, yes.

Black - classic and will go with everything

Oh no! We don't want these threads becoming common knowledge! More people to fight with!

Pogostick Do the link then we'll be able to tell you which one!

Well bugger I have just ordered pink!! (if it looks too young I shall just have to keep it, shame)

pink leather Osprey bag £48 - rrp £145

same but in black

A few pages back (or maybe threads - I've lost track) there was some talk about a beer club or something? Just wondered what it was about and if it would be a good present?

Glad your feelings better Reastie . Bet your lurking Isaac, please come back.
I went to Sainsburys yesterday. Don't think I will bother making a special trip next year. Very disappointing.

Oh I just bought so many Christmas things from h and m. I didn't even know I needed a mat for my Christmas tree. Plus I'm going to ikea tomorrow. Oh dear.

I decided to call into Home Bargains on my way to Argos @ am glad I did. The Skylanders sets were better & cheaper than the one I'd reserved in Argos.

Re dds friend. He likes Matilda but I'd guess he has a programme. Theatre merchandise us generally very expensive for what it is.

Ive ordered tons from this thread so far, thank you. The one I really want is GHD straighteners, but I can't get the website to accept the GHD20 code mentioned in the OP. Does anyone have any information on codes etc for GHDs (so I can buy them for myself and get DH to pay) :)

He gave dd a lovely necklace & bracelet from Claire's for her birthday with musical notes on. Harder for a boy though.

Funnily enough I was just looking at those handbags in-store today! I too was tempted but can't justify getting on for myself at the moment!

Ooh Willem what were they like in real life? I am hoping they have a nice feel and that lovely posh smell?

I didn't lovingly stroke one as I was on my way out of the shop at the time but I 'clocked' them in a way that you only do for things that really like the look of...and they certainly looked classy and covetable...

Deeply [eny]..... lovely colour too - think you were wise to go for the pink (says the woman who tediously sticks to black...)

Pictures what is his hair like? How about some fancy hair gel/glue/whatever the young 'uns call it nowadays, with a decent brush/comb?

My DS is a bit younger but loves doing his hair and I never let him have the really expensive stuff. It's as close to Claire's Accessories for boys as I can think of.

Mmmm thanks Willem. I think I will struggle to part with it tbh. Though can't justify it for myself. And I carry around a lot more crap than would fit in it.

I will hang it in my bedroom for a week or too though just to pretend it is mine

EightToSix GHDs with free heat mat use code HUT15 for 15% discount making them £75.65 with free delivery.

That's sort if a good idea (except I have no idea what good hair brands are)

His hair used to be long but he had to have it cut short above the ears for his new school & his mum said they were both gutted.

Dd uses spray gel as hairspray is banned in school but its in a Gorky pink bottle from Boots.

I have been struggling with what to get for my dm she has everything and I was flummuxed! By chance I went to Tesco in Newport and they had loads of needle and knitting craft stuff there with prices absolutely slashed! I bought loads of stuff a knitting gauge , cable knitting pins a huge what looks like a nappy pin for keeping stitches on etc etc all down to next to nothing. So that is it I have decided she is having a knitting hamper. Bought her 2 boxes of things to knit and a little book with loads of knitting patterns just going to get her some wool now and with the books I havbought her think she is finished! So anyone needs this sort of thing get to Mr t really good bargains for those who love their crafts I even thought well if she has these already they are the sort of thing you could mislay very easily so need several !

Thanks TooWet, I'm particularly looking for the ones with a heat bag for travelling and that turn off automatically I left my old ones on for ten hours once and scorched the counter but hopefully your link will be useful for someone else.

Their toy sale was rubbish though sorry !They had some lovely jumpers for xmas but they were £18, when Primarks were 12 ,and even asdas were only 14.
