    Was in our local one today (Herts) and most of the bargains had gone but managed to pick up a few bits from their Vintage Floral range (I think that's what it's called). I bought 4xrecipe books, a paper cake stand, some cup cake cases with decoration, a teabag dish and a few other bits. I only spent less than £5 in all. I needed to provide some raffle prizs for my club so now I have some!
  • Patio furniture available in the Ely Store

    Online only I think. Good reviews. 230 in stock at time of posting.

    I have just collected mine - purchased in response to post last month but can't find it - may have been HUKD, but didn't post then as soon OS. It's easy to carry (I had to walk a mile home with it) as it is very light and comes pre-wrapped with shoulder strap.

    Not a garden parasol but I bought it to fix to balcony railings - brilliant as it tilts.
