Where can I get large-squared exercise books and other stationery misc?

[Psychomumma]

Does anyone know of a shop/web-site that might stock more specialised 'educational' stationery? I've had no luck with W.H.Smiths, Woolies is no longer an option... I'm interested in all the stuff like graph paper, dotted paper, large-squared, and in A3 size would be excellent!

hi have you tried staples?

i can think of staples, stationery box, wilkinsons, the dreaded tesco and such. or you might like to seek out your 'local' shops, a couple of post offices near us have all sorts of bits.

i nipped to town today to give my local stationer some ink carts back that i can't use... he was packing his shop into boxes, the business was decades old, it's gone now. for a while i thought the 'recession' wasn't sooo bad and being hyped up by the media. it's real. we know lots of people losing work and jobs.

sorry to rant.

a3 can be a pain to find. if you want lots of stuff and can spend £30 at once for free delivery, viking or staples online can be good.

maybe you could bulk buy plain and print your own!

We got A4 squared paper spiral bound note books from Lidl a while back. No idea if they always stock them, but apparently kids in Germany use them as a matter of course when learning to write as it helps with teaching them to write level and space letters.

this lloks quite good

and freee so you can print off what you need when you need it.

Have you tried Ebay?

There are specialist schools websites that will sell to private customers - on my favourites list somewhere. Its a very long list so in a few minutes/hours Ill find them for you

There is another thread somewhere, hence I have the list in the first place!

You can generate your own here. Choose your own squares etc.

muppetgirl and chatterbocs - that website is fab! And FREE! So many things I never knew I needed...

If you have a french stationery shop nearby... South Kensington has a few (near the Lycee) and the jotters are quite cheap.

get most of mine off ebay

my kids like to write books, ;-) so we need lots of unlined, stapled, blank books. you can make your own but...well I don't.

usually lots of remaindered school books pretty cheap on ebay, got 50 A4 books for £10 last week (£10 was mainly postage)
