Pokz1981 2 Report post Posted August 14, 2013 I've got to eat my words now.THANK YOU GREGLHC! we headed over to the Expo during the long weekend to check out the Times Book Fair. Even though the poor HTB was ill after his business trip so we only went down after he was finally a bit more human. Funny how his 'illness' means he needs to sleep a lot but when he's inside the Book Fair, he can treasure hunt for 1 1/2 hours, no problem. After hunting for treasures, he finally emerged with a carton of 30+ books. Guess he's finally satisfied After we were done with the Book Fair, we heeded Greglhc's advice to check out the Home Expo and we're so glad we did!We had a great time haggling with Pierce, the owner of Bez Gallery, over the price of the bedframe (storage bed, headboard etc). He's extremely patient and friendly. I've tried to find negative reviews of them but havn't come across any as yet so we placed our deposit for the following - I've always wanted something like this and thankfully the hubs is perfectly fine with it. Another item off the list! This frame is one of those that caught my eye at the show. Good choice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has nothing against buying 2nd hand items / online shopping, but he puts his foot down when it comes to buying 2nd hand electronic items online because he insists that electronic items have a limited shelf life so we might as well buy them first hand. oddly enough, he's the one trawling gumtree and ebay to see if there are any dining tables that he can get on the cheap *roll eyes* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
