What can you buy for a pound?

Fishing in the pool with dad

Arthur figured out that fishing is mush easier when you are sitting in the pool!

One of the things that I was sure to miss about the states was shopping at the dollar store for great deals on mostly fun and sometimes crazy miscellaneous items. Imagine my excitement when I stumbled upon "Poundland" the English pound shop in town. Now Arthur and I are regulars, scavenging through the bins and perusing the shelves. Last week we came across a blow up paddling pool in the summer section of the pound store and so we snatched it up. Well, what can you buy for a pound? Let's just say the term 'paddling' pool is a gross misrepresentation of what we pulled out of the packaging. The only thing that could paddle in this would have to be the size of a grasshopper. But, Arthur loved splashing around in it anyway, so viva la Poundland!
