    Is it the 10 foot one? yes How tall are your ceilings! I looked at it for the hallway in the new house.... but as I have not got any doors I managed to talk sense to myself!
    :T If I knew that, I would have bought it (or not) :p

    I like the width of it, 1.75m, just what I need. Wonder if I could shorten it a little if I needed to?

    Has anyone got the Starbucks reward card?

    I was given one today but was told I didn't need to load money onto it. The sa said I needed to spend £5 instore for their till to activate it but my spend wasn't enough so I could just register the card online at home and collect points each time I go instore. I've just tried registering it but I keep getting an error message saying I need to load money onto it instore....

    anyon know where i can get a cheap suit fr a 16 year old please he is getting a navy one for dd wedding in july but needs a different one for dd2 wedding in march he is quite small and thin adults will be to big and dot want to spend a fortune on something he only wears once thanks xxxx

    When my SIL had three teenage boys and they had a wedding invite they used to go to Matalan. Obviously hold off until there is a sale! Also tesco and asda do cheap suits when they are reduced. OH has a couple from Tesco and the quality is fine as he will probably only wear them a few times each.
