    Hi nichart20,

    I was in country baskets on Sunday and the cheapest fishbowls i seen that were in stck were about £3-£3.50, so i'd say the ones on the website you are looking at would be cheaper as i cant see how much delivery would be though!

    Hope this helps

    Thank you Its £7.50 for p&p but I am also wanting mirror plates and a few other bits so £7.50 seems quite reasonable

    Bubbles - what is country baskets like? There is one near me and I am thinking of joining being in the trade and all.

    OP, there is a policy with country baskets that members are not allowed to lend out their card but I don't see why you can't go along to one of these warehouses with someone who has a card to buy stuff.

    Hi Horace,
    I thought it was really good. I was like a kid in a sweet shop lol!! I had been to a couple of other places before i went in there and country baskets were by far the best . I did find them slightly more expensive than the others but not by that much. Well worth joining i would say but not sure how good you may find it already being in the business.
  • I got some stunning cracked glass effect ones a few days ago for £4 each from B+M Bargains in Sunderland, and some stunning tall matching vases for £5 each :D

    Yes they are stunning im well pleased, how are you finishing yours if you dont mind me asking
  • They are going to be used as sweetie bowls in the centre of the table as i'm not a great one fro flowers. I plan to put things like dolly mixtures and marshmallows in to about 1/2 up.
