I bought a reduced china Santa today - he's lovely - bit gnome like. I also got 4 packets of shiny shredded stuff - I'm going to make some hampers for prezzies next year. I got my card out to pay and the guy on the tills said, '£3.10'. I had that in cash!!!

awww...hes sweet, I was thinking that he was one of those shhh...ugly looking gnomic elves I like him...where are you going to put him at Christmas? Do you have a place sorted for him?

I thought he was sweet too - definitely not an ugly gnomic elf thingummy. He'll go on the Welsh dresser in the dining room.

There's a really good GC in Crowborough called Millbrook - family run. He came from there - all their decs were 75% off.

He is really sweet Jasmine. ;D I can see why you bought him. I have to say 'tho when you wrote gnome like the 1st person I thought was JW, followed closely by the thought that a trend has been set by herself.

I like him - you could chose whether he held bells, a lamp or a Christmas tree.

I might have been tempted to get a couple

Post by Jasmine on Jan 18, 2011 13:18:28 GMT
I might go back. I don't know what else they can do but 75% off - there was soooo much stuff in the sale. Give it away? ;D
|
|

Post by Missredhead on Jan 18, 2011 13:41:11 GMT
I have seen up to 85% off stuff but thats as high as I have seen....maybe they will put it away for next year

We were talking about the sales at school this morning. Don't think I've ever seen stuff reduced so much. Is it worth someone's while to write out 10p stickers?

Post by Missredhead on Jan 18, 2011 14:34:55 GMT
If they sell enough then I guess so.

Post by Jasmine on Jan 18, 2011 14:37:39 GMT
Makes you wonder about profit margins though.

Post by Missredhead on Jan 18, 2011 14:38:44 GMT
MMMM....they could always put the loss on something else

Post by Jasmine on Jan 18, 2011 14:43:22 GMT
Hmmm. If we keep going long enough on here we'll meet ourselves in September getting ready again! ;D

Auricula will be thrilled! ;D

;D I think they need the storage space and that's maybe why they have to get rid of things. There's always something new for next season.
