Chucky Mama Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 I may try Matalan next week. I almost bought a purple 1/2 sized trug in Homebase but couldn't find the price (that really annoys me but that's another story). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 i bought this toast rack for LSH a few weeks ago http://www.lakeland.co.uk/toast-rack/F/keyword/toast+rack/product/11937 it's nice and plain and not too expensive either, I nearly bought one like that from Waitrose a few days ago, but it was £5! I shall be making my merry way down to Lakeland tomorrow then Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 Look what I have just found! Woolies is back (well sort of) http://www.woolworths.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Not quite the same as popping up to your local high street and wandering around the store though is it? I was in my high street this morning, still nothing in our empty woolies shop and I noticed that our Thorntons card/chocolate shop has closed down. Have all the Thorntons gone or is it just a knock on from my dwindling high street? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 No it's not the same I agree. There are so many things that I need that I could have got from Woolies like a Swingball and balloons. We have a Thorntons in downtown Swindon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Perhaps its just us then. The high street has nearly 50% empty shops, its such a shame as without those shops people don't go up there and then the rest of the shops suffer. One of the old Woolies near me has been made into a 99p shop. I'd prefer something like a Wilkinson etc at least that should have some of the same type of things in it.

TheGirlsMum Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Oh Scrambled you have dashed my dreams, we were told the Truro Woolies was going to be a Primark....... will have to go and sulk now. that means we still have to make trips to Plymouth to get the girls clothes.

Lesley Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 The Stratford Woolworths is now a Poundland......and the powers that be are up in arms because the signage is.........turquoise .......in Stratford Since when did an empty shopfront give a good impression to all the tourists???? We do still have Thorntons though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Ours in Mill Hill is an Iceland and not all mums go there. I would've likeed a farm shop much more fitting for our high street. Not the same without Woolies - I was bereft when it closed - how sad am I? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
