wilkinsons - there are other shops out there

just thinking about one of my favourite stores (husband hates it as it costs him lots of money) wilkinsons and wondered how many of us shop in there?

i love it for all the stuff it sells and always finish up buying twice as much as what i went in there for. just like today we had a small list and finished up spending £33 and that did not include any treats for blackie

another shop that i cant walk past is primark.

so have any of you got shops that you just cant resist???

My OH can't moan at me for shopping 'cos he's a million times worse. His real vice is TKMaxx (I quite like it for kitchen stuff, but nothing else), but I'm afraid it's George Henry Lee (L'pool branch of John Lewis) that does it for me. Mostly I just go to admire the nice things, and to daydream. Don't have anything like the amount of money I could spend in there

I love Wilko's it's brilliant, my only beef with them is how long it takes to get through the checkout, but if I go early it's no problem, I particullary love their coconut hand wash and bubble bath, it smells divine

Yep...any shop with a SALE sign in the window. Doesn't matter if I actually need what that particular shop is selling, I just can't resist a bargain!! And I can always flog the stuff that I end up not using on ebay Occasionally manage to make a small profit out of it too

Off to an outlet village tomorrow....dread to thing what tat I'll come home with

I think most of you already know about my Wilko's passion. I have to be physically restrained.....
Jackie's exactly the same.
We are both like it with Primark - their towels are to die for.
I think no matter how much money I have (ok, stop larfing), I'll still shop in these two shops. They're just fab!

forgot to tell you about my weakness for claires - they have one near the cinema where we just went. selling 5 yes 5 items for a £5

so i got a necklace and earring set that was a £10
another 2 necklaces
a pair of earrings
and 3 bracelets......

must not go there anymore

apart from that i love shopping espicially when there are bargains to get. recently got 2 jumpers priced originally at £35 each for £5 each at debenhams. also a jumper for son that was £18 reduced to £3

I can't walk past Superdrug without going in even if I don't need anything

I can't keep out of Next, Monsoon and Oasis when clothes shopping, The OH goes mental

Oh somebody after my own heart - the other type of shop I can't resist is any which sell shoes!!!
When we moved I counted that I have 50 pairs (this does include trainers, walking boots, wellies, flip flops etc)
My OH is resigned to the fact that if I go shopping with the girls I will come back with at least one pair
