RE: What has amused you/made you laugh today? - BusLoverMum - 18 Jan 2016
The scrum in Durham Wilko's, this morning, when they reduced all their Christmas tat to 10p, in advance of the store moving to the Arnison Centre.
There was a couple at the next till with 4 Christmas trees and 2 massive bags of baubles, garlands etc. They spent £4.80.

The store at the Arnison Centre is open now. Along where Pound Stretchers used to be.

It's been there at least a few months now, was there the last time I ventured up there.

I quite like Wilko just because it's somewhere else to get a single can or bottle of Pepsi or whatever as it's annoying getting two from Poundland at times.
Durham seems to becoming a waste of space, to me at least, seems to be nothing but flaming coffee shops. There is very little of intrest to me there now, although there is a That's Entertainment and CeX now.

Of all the places I don't need a decent coffee shop, it's the one 20 minutes from home! I'm meeting a friend there, next week, mind, so I'm determined to get to one I've not tried before. I fancied a coffee, this morning, and got a passable but nicely hot mug of instant while I had my hair cut.
The Gates is emptying out anyhow, though, as it's been sold to be re-developed after going bust. I still miss Waitrose.

This week, yes. Into the old Poundstretcher unit. Slightly disappointed as the Durham City one was convenient and massive. I hate the Peterlee one and Sunderland is just a bit too far away from an unplanned "I need so and so" outing.

I'm puzzled about that, too. I was expecting them to re-locate to the one in Prince Bishops. The rent must have been too high, with it being a prime spot.
Even though the Gates store is a busy one, it wouldn't surprise me if they closed and re-directed people to the Arnison store. I'll have to go elsewhere for toothbrushes and rice pudding.

I went up there a few days before Christmas thinking it was still Home Bargains (you can tell how often I go there!) and they were still doing it out.

It has to live on top of the kitchen cupboards when it's not being fiddled with. It's already demolishing itself without littl'un's help.
