lil_me are Amazon and eBay out of the question? Found some lovely kitchen scales

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Skytronic-Electronic-Kitchen-Scales/dp/B000KJZ9JI/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/203-0201825-0281507?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1190744011&sr=8-2

Amazon and Ebay are fine, we've been looking at bed frames locally on ebay to see if we can find any cheaper aswell, no luck so far, couple on adtrader to call about. Liking those scales, think the kitchen will suit silver/grey stuff better, dishwasher is and that looks good. After paying the £1600 left this week (money-deposit) we've got about a grand left so need to see what I want first and what I can save up for. DS1s bed he can manage with, DS2s however he's getting the little room, doesn't have a wardrobe or space for his desk really, also his beds pretty much kerput thanks to bed wetting.

I'm in Pigpen, need to pack as I fly in my room landing ? oh that's what is under the clean laundry

lil_me How old is ds2? sorry 6 sticks in my head but it is still a bit fuzzy...

Is this the sort of desk underneath that you mean http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/6637178.htm

or does he need a larger flat area?

sorry - if we have an idea what we are looking for then we can work on codes/cashback etc.

and re the bin - I can understand a dislike for bright steel... have you thought of a brushed effect? (it doesn't show up the fingerprints etc anything like shiny) and I just normally wipe with mircofibre cloth when I can be bothered *hangs head in shame* and when it really needs sprucing up I treat to stainless steel stuff that works wonders...
