edited 4 August 2009 at 7:32PM in It's gone, but was it any good?
Picked up this bargain yesterday for the kids.
Was originally £96.50 then down to £56 which I thought was a decent price.
Then spotted that they're now just £25 each!!!

Took a bit of time to put together, largely because I didn't follow instructions properly.
Also had to drill a hole myself as one of the pieces had a hole missing. Was quicker to drill rather than return to store.
Didn't bother using the tool supplied for attaching the elastic bands as it was too complex and easier just to do by hand.

Kids LOVE it..........

Official MoneySavingExpert forum insert:

Just a quick note to say that while according to B&Q stocks are quite limited on the small My first trampoline for £25, there are plenty of £69 12 foot trampolines left. The prices are the same instore, but reserving online's a decent idea if just to stake your claim.

Thanks to SurfBowlSC for the top spot, and geewhiz for the links below. :)

    I saw this, yesterday, and was surprised at how big (and sturdy) it is - it would 'fit' a child for years. My DGS can't walk, yet, but I was very tempted...

    I bought one of these last year from Argos (sister company I believe?). It is fab, my four-year-old son and niece love it and my eight-month-old loves it when I take him on too (not sure if that's recommended but it can take it). It is tricky to put together (expect blood, sweat and blisters!) but it's really sturdy once up. The only thing I'd recommend is to get another clip for the bottom of the enclosure flap as small children could easily fall through the gap if they land in the wrong place. This has definitely been our best garden toy buy yet and the most used.
    It was reduced to £12.50 last autumn, so maybe it will go down in price again once summer is over.
