Need Hardbacked books - blank about A5 size(ish)......Where from??

[Katymac]

I got some from Asda or Tescos for 55p

But they only come in black, grey or red and I wanted something a bit more colourful

I can't afford much more as I will be buying about 12 of them

They are for diaries for my mindees - so need to be suitable for girls or boys

Where should I be shopping

ps I'd like quite nice paper - the Asda ones were nicer than the tescos

Are they on-line?

It's hard to get plain ones - I got some in WHSmith, they were soft covers, made of plastic-y stuff, which I prefer for shoving into bags. If you want properly nice paper, you could try somewhere that sells artists sketch pads? Then you can get nicer quality, and some places do a bulk order. I've seen them bofore in woolworths, too.
Perhaps the kids could decorate their own covers? Not the babies though, I guess. unless you do handprints . .

WH Smiths usually do a good selection of brightly coloured notebooks

The ones with plastic are much more expensive

I'd rather something in old afshioned hard back (if that makes sense)

Cover the boring ones in sticky back plastic from b and q.

Now there's an idea

Now all I need is to find out if one of my ladies is capable of that (i'm sure not)

T K Maxx have lots at the momeent, very posh looking, £2.99 each, hard backed but with soft suede covers in different colours.

I got some before in my local Poundland shop

Alibubbles - 55p is my proce target (honestly)

I'll have a look in my poundshop

Poundland had some today. I think they were brigh metallic colours but may have been smaller than A5.

Thanks Soupy - I'll go have a look
