Yes, Lem ... I hate the actual shop -- ours is like a jumble sale, you can't find anything, and, if you do find what you want, you can't get any service! Online every time for me -- prices are better too !

Vimto -- I got one of those mugs too -- like a small swimming pool !!!!

I tried to buy some trainers in the store once and but they wouldn't get more than one pair in my size so I couldn't compare them so I ended up going elsewhere. I probably paid a bit more but at least I got decent service!

Agreed...the shops are terrible! Full of staff who either havent been trained, weren't listening during training or just can't be bothered. Place is always a mess...more of a mess than Primarni!! I'll stick to online shopping i think!!
Ha and yes foggy..think i'd need about 5 teabags and a whole kettle's worth of water to fill it..i can see it being taken to a car boot shortly ;-)
When you make a mistake, don't look back at it long...the past cannot be changed. It is the present and future that counts

To answer Skippy's previous question, I've returned stuff bought online without any problems

Thanks Jan. Online sounds so much better than buying in store as they only give credit notes in store!

I suppose it's like any store - the staff cam be brilliant in one place and awful in another.

Not sportssdirect but anyone bought blinds online?? I've washed my nets this morning during my annual spring clean and they've literally fell to pieces. They're in the bin but I have a big bay window with a 2 meter drop so they're hard to come by in shops? Long shot I know but tried a couple of quotes online and it's about £175 for the whole bay and I don't have that kind of money...

Bad news about the nets. Can't help you with the blinds as we've had ours years. Have you looked on.Ebay for any nets?

I'm sure I'll have to replace with nets and not looked on ebay yet, it's always the length that does it for us.

I can't help with blind Lesley as ours are a fairly standard size. I replaced the voile panels in the bedroom this year and I got them on Ebay for £30.

We have to have either voiles or nets in the bedroom as it's at the front of the house and the problem with blinds is they are either open or closed!

Well I got my price down to £75 on the internet, custom size and being delivered Friday to daughter's house...at that price I'm expecting them to be made of paper but tis all I can afford. If they're ok, I can get a vertical blind for my french windows at the back for £52.00...price too good to be true so I'll reserve judgement of what a bargain until they're received.

It did give me the option of sending for a sample which I would have done if I had time but I've got this huge bay window with nothing up it at the minute and I'm desperate. x
