SOO i went to:

http://www.sheffielddiscountfurniture.co.uk/

parked outside in the car park of this warehouse. I go into the warehouse and when we come out to get some hand wipes for the kids - someone had bloody broken into it !!

The back window smashed- no idea why sinec the car loks a tip and nothing more valuble than car toys in the back seat- they obviously went straight for the back seats to look into the boot- found nothing and ran off.:mad:

No witness /No cctv.:confused:

Spent 30mins clearing the glass so could drive home safely.

OK MY ADVICE- be aware if visiting this place. There were others visitors who came and went with no problems but I am sure the car park was being watched in order to time the break in with others coming and going ( there is little thru traffic and no walk thru )

Anyway - hoorah for trying to money save eh !

Oh - they do have some bargins- although not everything is good value AND make sure you inspect the furniture carefully.

    Sorry honey - I feel awful for sending you out that way! Hope you find what you need from somewhere.
    as for vacuums - have you looked at Bissel - they do some amazing offers sometimes, which tend to get posted on here (pet hoover for 50 squid) everyone who's had one seems happy with them (I love mine, I have the lift off reconditioned - http://www.bisselldirect.co.uk/products/reconditioned - free delivery) I'd wait for another good offer to come on though if you can.
