    Interesting comment.
    Were you aware that Screwfix Direct (screwfix.com) are actually owned by Kingfisher plc, the same company that owns B&Q?

    Did you also know, Premier, that B&Q have just announced that they are going to slash 400 of the 1200 staff working at their HQ near Southampton. I suspect that margins are tight, consumers are spending less; so the only way to keep profits up is to cut backroom staff.

    Be interesting to see what offers spring up during the Winter.

    Oh, by the way, B&Q staff have a Discount card that entitles them to 20% off [if I remember correctly]. So, get chummy with a member of staff!! :rotfl:

    I think you also get 10% (or is it £10) off when you take out a store card and use for the first time

    Can't find anything about this on their site when looking at the different cards that they do (2 Types). Anyone know any more?

    I'm hoping that it is 10% as I'm lacking in the 'knowing a 60 year old' department.

    We've been looking at garden furniture, and theres a couple of nice sets out there, ranging from £199-£299.

    Does anyone have any online codes for B&Q to get THIS set down another 10%?

    The full set: Rectangular Dining Table, 2 Blue Stacking Chairs, 2 Folding Recliner Chairs, Parasol and base comes to a total of £264.00 iirc (including 20% already off!)

    Would be nice to get it for £240 or less, if anyone has any codes/ideas or just a couple hundred B&Q vouchers that they wanna "deal or no deal" with :rotfl: Ebay has limited choice with vouchers etc

    Looking for a Flymo Sabre Cut Cordless Hedge Trimmer or very similar but have had very bad experience on eBay so want to get it from somewhere well know now.

    Amazon do quite a few hedge trimmers, for example the Bosch AHS 48-16 ELECTRIC HEDGECUTTER (link here http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0001MQ7WM/00ab6381-21)

    They also have an offer - save £20 when you spend £100 on DIY/Garden. Might be useful if you need to buy something else. Just click on the link on the above page for details of the offer.

    Edit: Just seen you want cordless. The Gtech HT01 Cordless hedge trimmer gets a good review.

    Yes I've looked at the GTech but its not as good as the Flymo (cuts thicker branches and longer blade). It's for my parents but I think they may rethink the cordless bit if it means we can get something similar cheaper.

    Thanks though!
