I love £ shops :o)))) Good buys, mostly in 99p shop in Worthing. Sheets of stickers for cardmaking and crafts and lots of craft bits - my grandaughters pinch most of them! Picture frames Gel pens Boxes of chocolate biscuits - supposedly broken, but mostly whole. Multi bags of crisps CD jewel cases Lots of stocking filler type stuff for children & adults. Calendars - got 2 this year, still with £4.99 price tags on. Then saw identical ones in WH Smith for £4.99 each! Eyelash wool for knitting scarves. Can't think of any really bad buys. OH bought some Cadburys chocolate once as a treat for me. Although it said Cadburys on the packet, it certainly didn't taste like it. I think it was made in Eastern Europe. Won't buy that again!

Best was Bratz stuff for daughter, Johnsons cosmetics, branded drinks, biscuits, chocs, crisps, Christmas decorations, Halloween stuff. Worst was envelopes that didnt seal, a doll whose head fell off!! and baby wipes with a sickly artificial smell.

Our Poundshop(land) has just closed for a few days for a refit, can't recall them having one before, don't know what I did without it. Brilliant shop for stocking fillers, and just everything you didn't know you needed!! Got three books there recently for 50 each (special offers lol) and all were a good read. Bought some super bras there a while ago, and only now worn out, wish I have bought a dozen! They sel those baking sheets for using on baking tins in the oven and they last ages, save all that scrubbing of tins when the baked pototoes or whatever stick.

I bought a battery operated emergency mobile phone charger - the price included 4 batteries - it has been a reall life saver!!

I have never been in a pound shop.

Lucky you if you can afford to miss all the bargains! lol Liz
