    That's funny there is no advert in today's Sun.
    That seems a lot more offers than they usually have?

    I was looking at the porcelain tiles, be careful when buying them as in one store , there were only 3 tiles per pack and at another store there were 4.
    The price on the website for the 4 tile pack is £11.98.
    The going going gone price on the leaflet is £10.08, about £2 saving per pack
    Not as bigger saving as i had hoped for :-( but still a saving

    with the GGG items, does that mean they are not going to be stocking them at all after the GGG day? We are after the porcelain tiles too, if it means they won't be re-stocking them, we will have to go tomorrow morning to get them otherwise, we can hang on.

    appleblossom - just buy more than you need (you should buy around 10% than you need anyway to allow for breakages etc). Then just return the unopened packs back to B&Q. Our local store is excellent with returns so I'm assuming this is a nationwide policy?

    If anyone needs any DIY tips/advice etc then https://www.ultimatehandyman.org seems to be very good. There are a number of pro's and expert DIY'er who post there and novices are treated nicely.

    thanks repo but the reason I asked is it's a bit inconvenient for hubby to go before work in the morning but if it means once they have gone tomorrow we can't get them anymore then he will have to, if they will be, then we don't need to worry and can just go another day.

    Have pressed the thanks button and well deserved. Just a bit p***ed off because last week I bought my daughter a 6' x 6' shed and layed a patio for her. Will do a Deal or no Deal and go to my local B&Q and hope I don't see sheds for £2.99. Many thanks for a great post.

    Just spoke to B&Q re the prices of the garden furniture included in this offer - as I had seen it advertised on the TV yesterday - I have checked and the prices quoted are the same as on the internet at the moment so no need to rush there at 7am..... (this refers to the garden sets - Cuba/Charlston and Chilworth). Hope it saves someone else a early start!

    Just popped down to our local to check out the £12 fence panels, as I don't want to be getting there at 7am and finding out they are not suitable.

    Anyway, obviously they weren't out for sale, but I spoke to 2 members of staff who told me that the panels were very flimsy and would probably blow down if we had a serious gust of wind!

    The chap said they had been brought in especially for the sale - they are not normally stocked in store or on the website. They basically said that the panels were equivalent to 'B&Q Value'.

    I wont bother getting up me thinks!

    Does anyone have any idea of the quality of the glueless laminate flooring? It seems to be quite cheap at £3.50 m2
