if you've got a tk maxx shop near you, http://www.tkmaxx.com/

they usually have electronic gadgets as well as clothes, kids toys etc.. fairly cheap, i bought a gigantic universal remote control, that near impossible to lose , near 1ft long and 3inches wide, big buttons on, so old people can use it easily :D for £5 the other day :xxgrinning--00xx3:

The Missus does that and gets cheap cosmetics and smellies from work. Im not sure if she is going for a balikbayan box or a 40ft walk container at present.
But untill she decides and packs them all to be sent off, I could do with some space so i can breath out while at home.
I literaly have to pop out for some air otherwise my rib cage might snap due to lack of room:NoNo:

When the missus first got here three years back i showed her the local tk max and it was a bit chaotic so we avoided it.

The other week we went in it and found it had an upstairs it was like some mad old curoisty shop (how freaky i gotta walk past the real one tomorrow) but i have to say im glad i didn't buy a wlking stick in there might be on a charge now:D

That looks like its due a visit for the grand filling of the box back to phills

Clothes shopping is definitely cheaper in the Philippines...i found that Toiletries i.e. shower gels are cheaper in Britain and definitely more varieties.

^^Including guitar??? I could get an authentic Fender Strat for less? I'm looking for the most coveted Eric Johnson 1952 Sunburst Strat. Here in the PI it's around Php52,000, and always sold out!!!

What about Eric Clapton's Blackie?

Cars are cheaper here and still in excellent condition.
Cars in the Philippines are darer, eventhough its used, 10 owners, no aircon, no tax, no insurance, broken window, rusty doors, lots of faulty, and it still expensive!
