    At the cost of at least £17.50 + £4.99 postage = £22.49

    This offer sounds good if you buy the newspaper but hardly worth it otherwise as you could buy one just as good for that price.

    A little more than that.... in time for mid January as they are 'made to order'. :mad:

    Terms and Conditions As these duvets are made to order, you can expect to receive delivery from 12 weeks from receipt of order. If you are ordering extra bedding which we feature later in the promotion, this will arrive at the same time as your free duvet.

    So how much would this all cost? Is there any point spending close to £35 (with/without postage) and waiting for a stupidly long time (seriously, are rats and mice making these things? 50 days for delivery is a joke!)

    No, I see duvets in Amazon and elsewhere- even branded ones that cost less then this and are closer to instantly owned then these (35 days plus 50 days plus weekends and bank holidays....) Seems like a rather obvious joke at the expense of those that take part.
