Will catch up later, hope everyone is doing ok. Just wanted to say my local sainsbobs has just re-stocked the Christmas bits. Two cages bought from out the back, some of which I haven't seen reduced the past few days. Bought some lovely Hurricane Vases, they had them in gold, red and silver, 21cm high and very good value at £2 each. I also bought some large pillar candles (150 hrs burning time) in matching colours, these were £1.50 each and look great inside th hurricane vases. Might be worth popping back to your local store as they may have also put more stock out

I posted before about the Bob Martin stuff on the clearance shelf at 50p, today I got the Flea Shampoo, also 50p BC ends 901104.

i wanna go to your sainsbobs!!! Mine had nothing except electrical things that looked like they had been upped in price so they can then reduce them.

Do not buy the 15 packs of coke in an A v M shop as they are dearer in M's.

Not enough metal and pipework for my liking and to top it off cost more than a proper radiator. :eek:

Once you hang a towel on there it might as well be a proper one that gives out heat

I would agree. I inherited this towel rail radiator when I bought this house, but given the tiny dimensions of the bathroom, there isn't actually room to have a radiator, and then somewhere to put towels. So it was a very good compromise on the previous owners part.

These T&C's relate to the getting of an apg, but the problem highlighted is returning an item that was paid with an apg in part of full, SD was told she could not get the apg amount refunded in any manner but not sure if she ever got an answer from sada HQ:(

I paid for some clothes with an APG with the intention of keeping them if they fitted well. As the store in question had no fitting room I was advised to buy them and go to the gents to try them on. They didn't fit so I got refunded on a gift card:)
