    Morning paw sniffers:D

    Well since my all singing, all dancing Phillips iron blew up on me and the " university" iron has proved to be useless, I need to search and buy a new iron today........and I hate buying electricals.

    Argos has 124 to choose from and John Lewis 68:eek:

    An exact replacement for the iron i blew up is far too expensive so I'm at the drawing board stage:o
    I'm weighing up prices, promotions, price match and loyalty points but to research it fully will take hours:o.......not what I want to do on a Sunday morning:o

    Bleugh bleurgh bleurgh and more bleurgh:rotfl::rotfl:

    I have a Morphy Richards Comfigrip bought in 2003 for about £35 which, touch wood, is still going strong. Don't know what the newer models are like but mine is relatively heavy - I do like a firm press :D - and it really is comfortable for those longer stints :D:D.

    DD has a super-lightweight iron which feels far too flimsy to do the job, feels like a Wendy house iron. :(

    Used to be homeware and Tesco clothes and a coffee shop upstairs. Now homeware has moved downstairs, Clothes have been squashed up and Wallis and DP upstairs. Costa took over the coffee shop a few years ago.

    Watford Tesco (not my store) is so big that google streetview put it on its mapping system.

    We used to have a Tesco homestore near us with a Costa upstairs. It closed down and I do so miss it....bad move by Tesco I think as I'm not on my own in thinking this.....

    Just an idea and it might not work, but you can get irons online with sains groceries. There is a £18 off £60 on Savvy fb site for new shoppers.

    Morning all :wave:

    Good morning Elite.
    Hoping everyone is warm, happy and well. Hugs to those not so.
    My cold is finally dissipating - just in time for work again tomorrow! Typical.
    Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
