On the first floor you have ample size sections of lingerie and nightwear, womens clothes, footwear and accessories. I went into the store last week and they have a new branded perfume section with perfumes such as gucci etc (i have also noticed they are bringing in other designer brands of clothes to on the website so im sure this will follow instore too) on the ground floor you have homewares (including expensive gorgeous furniture), kids wear and menswear.

I find the prices of some clothes quite expensive but the quality reflects in the price. The changing rooms in store are spacious and well managed. I like the feature where you can call an assistant if you need something else brought to you. There are four separate till areas so it's easy to get served even in busy periods and there is a small lift for parents with pushchairs or wheelchairs etc.

It's not your usual High St girly shop, with bad seams, hanging threads and no individuality. Oh no! This sells a wide range from Skirts, tops, dreses, jackets in a rainbow of colours and styles. It really caught my eye. Which is something in itself! I'm heading back soon as I'm meeting a friend for after work drinks - will nab a photo and do further snooping. It's really great to see something different.

There are always bargains to be had in here and I often come out with things I did not know I wanted until I saw it. There is usually a section for gardening, cooking, cleaning, food, toys and stationery. There is a small section to the back which usually has the bedding, towels, cushions, etc and also picture frames. This is a typical discount shop with the stock changing all the while so always worth a look in if passing. The store is usually quite tidy and the staff will help if required, but usually thin on the ground.

I do find as I walk in that the store appears cluttered at first glance. As it;s such a big store, it;s based over three floors with escalators through the middle. There is a lift available but it's very slow and considering the baby items are on the top floor, most people with younger children will need to use the lift and find themselves waiting for a while. The queues for the tills can get very long in busy periods and there will be a long wait. I find most people buy a lot of items at a time in here as it is so cheap.
