I went out looking at tiles today for my kitchen/bathroom and cloakroom - saw so many that I think I will dream of floor/wall tiles.
:eek: Such a range and variation in prices.
I went in Laura Ashley - wasn't meant to be buying anything!
They had some fabric reduced from £28 metre to £7 metre - at the till - it was reduced to £4.90 metre. :money:

If you are still looking for tiles home base have them reduced got some for my kitchen last week only £6.99 for a box of 25 the small oblong ones

Yes still looking. The kitchen man is taking me to buy tiles but I went today so I could get an idea of what I want. I do like the oblong tiles.

Sticks all seems to stick anything it's in a tube like decorators filler you need one of those metal canister holders to put the tube in

Really good they where originally double the price we are in the middle of doing our kitchen and have been everywhere and compared prices and these where the best value and they are good quality. I also found flooring cheapest at wicks we got laminate which looks like tiles in a grey they have a 15 year guarentee and are anti bacterial.

I am in Ramsgate. I saw some nice laminate at Topps Tiles today.
Problem with tiles - I want a lot - do they tend to have large stocks?

While shopping today - I saw 1829 paint. I think it was chalky emulsion - can someone tell me anything about it please?

I had a tester pot from B&Q
Incredible paint with amazing coverage. A little goes a LONG way!
