    Don't bother looking for the wallpaper!
    Peterborough had about 30 assorted old discontinued rolls. Offer doesn't apply to the "good" current stock.
    Plenty of tile cutters, vacs, cold frames, lights and compost. Only saw one person buying anything.
    Think these sales are becoming a bit of a con!

    are they any of the ones on the poster? surely if they are showing a style on the poster that should be in the sale. not showing best but offering crap???

    shrewsbury has plenty of decking chainsaws, wallpaper compost, and the cold frames...........went to get a cold frame but i didnt think it was strong enough where i live! bought a chainsaw and some compost.

    Has anyone got the ladders?

    Are they any good. My local store had some in but didn't have the roof rack and I was a bit put off by the info on them. Max of 15 st. Got a couple of stone to spare there, but rated for domestic light use only??

    Not really sure they will be heavy duty enough for my liking even though I'll just be doing the gutters and painting with them.

    Anyone used them?

    I went to our b & q - loads of wallpaper - on a huge shelving unit with £2 stickers on - some werent stickered but there was
    stickers there as if someone got half way through and got called away.

    Got enough paper for my lounge and dinning room..... got to the till one set of rolls wasnt reduced although it was with all the reduced stock and the full price stuff was still on the shelves. Had a huge hissy fit but they wouldnt sell it to me for £2 a roll.....ended up shuffling between our two local stores to get my second choice paper with the same batch number..... spent hours in b and q.... when i was in later on another woman was having the same argument about there misleading paper display...


    End of the day got enough wall paper for both rooms total 44 pound. We have had no paper on our walls for months - couldnt decided what we then when i found one i liked it was £300 to do just my lounge in it :eek: ....

    I like the ones i got but still prefered the paper they wouldnt sell me so just off to see if they have reduced it (the staff were talking about the wallpaper
    being on sale at £2 after the end of the going going event).


    Thanks OP

    Hi,
    I was in Yeovil store today and there was a lot of cold frames, pagoda lights, vax (not sure of the plural!) and tile cutters.

    Also had a fair few light shades reduced to £1, got a couple for my hall :T

    Thanks for this. Elgin store had quite a lot of vax left and some wallpaper - some modern ones included. Managed to get enough for 2 rooms so quite happy.:j
