Anytime.

They also have a bumper pack of different coloured ones, I think it was ten for £5.

They do quite a range of Sharpies at the moment, as part of their back to school range.

I will be avoiding the retractable one though. It dries up so quickly, and they are not cheep.

I use those mini Sharpies they have now. Cheap, cheerful, and fit comfortably in a shirt pocket.

Thought i'd add, Tesco are selling the mini sharpies for £1.75 for a pack of four. Either four coloured (red, purple, turqoise, blue...I think) or two black and two blue.

Quick question whilst sat on the bus:

Are the nibs interchangeable between regular and mini sharpies? Or the retractables for that matter?

I appear to have accidentally logged into a felt-tip forum. Apologies for what was clearly a dumb blonde moment. Can someone please direct me to the magic forum?

The Works are also usually pretty good for Sharpies

Tools of the trade, are just as important as tricks. :)
