We also played with the carboard boxes, well I did, my two year old couldnt see the point of my 'shop keeper' game and just wanted to jump on my carefully set up shop lol!
Where abouts are you s_glover. I am in high wycombe and if you are nearby I can keep the cardboard boxes for you to use when you move - we really have no room as our garage is full with OH's car (which is one day going to be fixed :rotfl:)
They will go in the recycling otherwise but pm me if you want them.
Also we brought loads of bag for lifes for moving house (we have moved 4 times in the past 2 yrs so got fed up of collecting and picking up cardboard boxes!) They are reasonably cheap and strong enough for most toys/pillows/bed linen and other stuff)

Thanks Freddiesmum, we're in Leeds so unfortunantely a bit far to travel for the boxes but your offer is really appreciated

I have a few bags for life but a few more would probably be a good idea for when we move. I've accummulated so much stuff in the last 2 years since I've been in a 2 bed place and have loads of books / files associated with work as well which all need moving.

Love the sound of your cardboard shop. Give me a cardboard box, loo roll middles etc and I would happily spend hours creating soemthing when I was little!

I cannot seem to get past the first page of the section on crates and boxes. Keep getting message "bad request" and have tried IE and Firefox on two different computers. Anyone else got the same result?

Just managed to order some crates but my system doesnt seem to want to do it through TCB for some reason. Anyway there were a good price and so cannot complain about a few pence.

I clicked on the link and searched for crate which brought the crates up and there doesnt seem to be any saving on theses - i am sure they were all in the sale a couple of days ago but the saving is not showing any more. I bought the flex tubs at £1.50 a go, they are normal price in the Tesco stores so offer may have ended now.

Haha this is what happened to me before when I oredered about 5 lots of boxes..had to carry them out of the shop myself and try to shove them in my car in any way possible lol, hense why i opted to pay the £3 delivery (and I am tight!!) thought it was worth paying to keep my dignity!
