Wipeable tablecloth

Looking for a upvc / vinyl tablecloth for my table which is 60 x 37". Don't mind type of material as long as it's wipeable. My two little ones are making me pull my hair out with all their spillages. Any suggestions would be greatfully received. I;ve looked on e-bay for material, but they're all very expensive.

    I am a childminder so I know all about messy little ones! Lidl quite often have them at about 2.99 or alternatively try Dunholm Mill or CH Fabrics where they sell it on a roll. However, this is usally about ten pound to cover my small breakfast bar. Tesco had some silver or gold wipeable cloths this morning on the reduced rack at Ashford Crooksfoot just in case you live in this area - that was only 1.99. Hope something helps you here.

    Buy a shower curtain. Tesco Value/Asda Smartprice ones are only about £2, Asda do patterned ones for less than a fiver. Might even be big enough to cut in half and make two cloths.
  • John Lewis also sell this on the roll. Loads of cute kiddy designs too!

    If you want to buy off the roll then Dunelm Mill is your cheapest bet. John Lewis and Cath Kidston also do oilcloth but more expensive.

    Asda should start to have lots more in soon - they sell as outdoor tablecloths for patio tables however they are fine for indoors too.

    I bought 12 metres of this on Sunday (my sisters own a cafe and use it on the tables), £2 a metre x 54" wide, four different designs. Chiltern Mills, but I don't know if they are countrywide.
