I nipped into Home Bargains earlier on & picked up these Eric Carle finger puppets for 99p each. They're lovely - so much nicer than the picture :clapping:

Oooh they are lovely but I don't have a Home Bargains near me either :(

If any kind soul fancied picking me up a set and posting I'd be ever so grateful :) It would make a great addition to my story sack.

Mansfield , they have lots of the other bugs left , ladybird , praying mantis , but no caterpillars or butterflies. Sutton might be worth a try though?

None near me :(

But last time someone posted about great things in B&M I looked and we didn't have those either. Then a few weeks later they were in my B&M, so I think that perhaps we're a bit slow to get things 'up ere'!!! :laughing:

I shall keep checking my local store and if I see any I'll buy the lot!!! I'll keep you posted!

Are these boxed sets or are they all separate - I went to Crewe today and the town store had changed its name to Branded Bargains so asked in there and was told new out of town store open in retail park the other week - went there and the store hadn't even opened yet!!!

On the way home I took a detour to Kidsgrove and they had no sets left but then a member of staff came running after me with just the caterpillar saying that all they had left.

I've asked a friend who has a sister and nieces living nr Newcastle-under- Lyme if they could pop into Home Bargains next time they are in town to see if they have sets - I paid 99p for the loose one and just presumed that it had become separate from a set so I didn't ask them to keep an eye out for separates.

i have to say the one I've got is really lovely and I would love to have the set or at least a couple more - so if anyone manages to get a shed load please consider me too.

OMW - don't tell me that you will be telling lies to your husband having been to the Lords table at the Holy Sacrament of Mass - tut tut to you Now bow your head in shame!!!! and in addition to that you are breaking a commandment - "Thow shall not covet thy neighbours goods" - I feel an urgent trip to Confession coming on for you - you better ring the priest and get your sin absolved before you comit it - I'm sure that would be Ok as its a pre meditated sin so in effect you have committed the sin already. This way you can go to mass and lie to DH with peace of mind. :laughing: :laughing:

Are these boxed sets or are they all separate -
.

They're separate ones. There are 6 different ones you can get - caterpillar, butterfly, ladybird, cricket, grasshopper & a fly (I think that's what it is anyway!). They all relate to other Eric Carle books.

When I got mine they were all together in one box, so I hunted through to get one of each.

I am going there again this afternoon, so will se what's left.

Mouse
23-05-2010, 09:52 AM
Just looked again, they're a praying mantis & firefly, not grasshopper & fly!
