    wilkos do plastic ones for less than £2.00 Jinky

    unless its a special gun for killing seals and ants, that it :rotfl:

    took DS to Mr M's (why oh why do I do that?) and dissuaded him from the impulse purchase of a DVD (£13.99) with the assurance that it would be cheaper online (and through quidco;))

    found it for £9.99 - but he's ALREADY changed his mind! So no money spent...
