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.

Wonder what will happen to Poundland if all the shops in the Gate close which looks like it will happen, especially as I think they closeed the store in the unit that was previously occupied by HMV which along with what was previously River Island.

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.
