Just saw an ad on the telly for B&Q which had, amongst other offers, the Colorado relaxer, reduced from £35 to £10 this weekend only. t&cs - max 4 per customer, while stocks last, no staff discount, not online (so no reserve & collect :()


Also the Brabantia 60m rotary clothes line for £40.

I'm after a new relaxer, but what's the betting they have a stock of 3 in my local store and if I'm not there queuing at the door at 6.30am, then I'm outta luck :cool:


Anyway, thought I'd post in case anyone wants to join in the bun fight :rotfl:

    Well, I got there for 7.20am. Apparently 100 chairs were all sold by 7.10am :( and my next 3 local stores were all sold out too. Good job I didn't go just for a chair :cool:


    Good news - plenty of the rotary lines left :)

    Thanks op. Got there at 7.50. I was 6th in line. About 2 mins to 8 cars started flooding in. Got 4- only 1 pushy man tried to barge in from the back. Had a 10 minute look at plants. came back- staff had made a queue and were bringing them out 1 box at a time. Looked like they were running out. I think they only had 32 out initially.

    same here, all sold out. It's ridiculous to have these offers then only have a few of the items so that hardly anybody gets a chance to get one. All a con just to get you in the store IMO :mad:

    Got 4 at my local saw people loading lots into vans so 4 per person not enforced in my local which is a shame. Got the washing line too no one else was buying them. Chairs are great so very pleased.

    Last two went out the door at mine at 8.20 .... as I was walking in the doors at 8.22 (they opened at 8am). They'd had 80 in stock and people queueing outside since 7.30.
