Hi Folks and a very happy new year to you all
Just a quick list to get rid of old stock, reduced loads of these, can't go any lower so have a look see if you can find some bargains. Also a few new things added.
If anyone spots anything on here that they think they have ordered, best let me know as I haven't received payment.
Got some great stuff coming up in the next few weeks so hopefully I'll be able to continue doing the lists weekly.
Finally, today I start using the new credit card machine so bear with me if I'm a little slow with it ok!
Cheers
Pete
