how much did you spend!!!!!

Well, a little more than budget shall we say.. But what the hell, it's a great buzz & I've seen stashes 2, 3, 4x & upwards of what I have paid and I should get a few bonfires out of it .

Also if anyone's thinking of dropping into one of the garden centres I can HIGHLY recommend the following - fired a Jumping Jelly Beans, BRILLIANT effects (quiet too, smells of burning rubber though lol) & the Mammoth Cone will take your breath away for £4.50!! Runs for about a minute and got to touch 20ft+ in height. AWESOME.

Any one know what selection box is better from lidl ?

If you are just buying the one single selection box I'd say the FireBox for impact, if you want longer duration and more nipper friendly I'd go for 2 x Cyber Box. Can't go wrong with either though, both EXCELLENT packs for the money.

Are these prices really correct, they seem far far too cheap????

Yes, all spot on, give them a call tomorrow and check the prices but check stock too before going any distance, I think it's going fast, I had the last Emerald Selection Box & there were only about 6 Mammoth Cones left.

Gone quiet in here today!

Anyway I have just got back from the Lidl with 2 more cakes!

Also another pic of everything (minus these 2 cakes I have just came back with).





Edit: Wow just posted before me haha! That box looks brilliant! Is this the one for £30?

What's the roll of Dynamite thing Dan? Looks properly taped up, sure that's a firework & not something left over from the Channel Tunnel excavation lol

Yes, all including VAT, no hidden VAT tricks, it's all discounted from RRP I guess, RRP's are always highly inflated don't forget. My receipts say I saved £957 lol

Your missus will love the Jumping Jelly Beans, it's a blinder. Don't fire it too far away though to appreciate it fully, it's highly detailed, 5m is bang on. The yellow tube (there's 6 tubes, 2 yellows I think) is incredible, never seen that in a firework before.
