Managed to get a tree (ouside one) and dove, then lots of lights to go round the roof Gutted we missed out on the polar bear my kids really wanted this and I almost paid full price for it the other day, something inside told me to wait though

Gutted. Spent £16 buying 3 sets of soft glow LED's last thing before closing on Friday as needed to get the tree up Friday night.

Sold for £6 now.

Buy the £6 ones and return using original receipt? Or is that a bit naughty?

Same here.

My two are miserable due to moving and they don't tend to get too excited about much these days. Something about the bear did it for them but needless to say I didn't get one. I did get reindeer but that was a poor substitute apparently.

Ironically the B&Q Xmas dec ads have been showing on tv here all night. I hope people don't think they can still pop in for decs, they'll be sorely disappointed.

I went in to the Altrincham store tonight and they still have quite a few trees left, including a few of the black fibre-optic ones. There's also plenty of tinsel, wrapping paper, tree decorations - although no lights that I could see.

we went and got everything we wanted , we just stood next to the returns desk and ask the women on the tills if we could take things to check outs to pay , she was over the moon as she was rushed off her feet , and would have had to put everything back herself

so we got , 2 real trees in pots
outdoor angel lights
outdoor dove light
holly lights , 7 foot xmas tree
snowman lights
300 lights for outside house , 10 m rope light, loads of wrapping paper , and name tags and baubles also went to home base in washington and got xmas name tags for 10p a packet , and they were giving away free rolls of wall paper if the wrappers were damaged , so hubby also got room to decorate as well as putting the lights up lol

I had to go out for something else today so as I was beside B&Q again, I popped back in on the offchance, just to see if anyone had returned a polar bear.:rotfl: No-one had.

I saw a large round tub of tree decs under the display tables, wish I'd thought to look there yesterday. There was probably loads at my feet and I never even saw them.

Picked up more tinsel and a few more baubles but there wasn't really anything else left.
