    i want a home bargains (sulk, sulk)

    Emailed them earlier to ask if they were planning on opening any branches near me (London)-this was the reply (within half an hour!)
    "We are opening stores as quickly as we can. We do plan to cover the whole of the UK, but it will be a few years before we get close to London

    For anyone looking for baskets, homebase have some from £1.49!
    Real men never follow instructions; after all they are just the manufacturer's opinion on how to put something together. :p

    I went to the Asda Living and Woolies about a year ago, but no other shops.
    Went to Cramlington yesterday and found HB, I had never ventured past Wilkinsons before, didn't realise all those shops were round the corner!! :o

    M&S outlet would def tempt me!! ;)

    I am in Kingston Park, so Byker isn't very far, just somewhere I never normally go.

    Thanks for info. :D
