    I am very jealous, but at the same time glad that I am far removed from TK Maxx. Before moving to Wales I had a TK right outside the place that I worked and I spent most of my wages in there:eek: Now I think the nearest one is at least a couple of hours drive away. I love all your finds and I am sure that if I was still up north then I would definitely be hightailing it there today.

    Did somebody say they have a website? :eek::eek::eek::eek:

    I'm about to take my first try at doing up a Mexican pine coffee table. Any recommendations for an electric sander or is it better to do it the long old fashioned way?! : )

    Thanks

    Some pages back a few people recommended sanders (sorry cant remember the numbers) but somebody mentioned a sander in Lidl.
