Another long term shopping list item was ticked off the list today at Harry Corry. Table clothes!…read more And for 7 EUR each, they were grand value, so we got two. One plain cream and one plain plum. Having said that, after a quick wander around the store looking for said table clothes, most of the products here left me underwhelmed. It's seems to be soft furnishings on a budget, but a lot of the designs wouldn't be me. I don't think I'd be hurrying back here to buy a new set of towels or bed sheets. Staff were very nice and one had a bright hello for us when we arrived through the door.

I love the TV ads for B&Q at the moment. It bigs up the fact that it has experienced staff that can…read moreattend to your every DIY need. "I was a plumber for 22 years," says one bloke in an orange vest, smiling through gritted teeth, "I had me own van, me own business, it's all gone now," he fails to add. "I spent 10 years working as a decorator," says another, failing to mention "before you bastards came and showed people how to do it themselves". However, if you do want to do it yourself, then this is the warehouse to come to. Huge and sprawling, it's a haven for blokes who want to get out of the house, families at a loose end and those with actual pressing DIY needs. Although you are as likely to find a teenager as a fella with 30 years experience wandering the shop floor, you usually can find the advice you need.

As we've been doing a lot of DIY lately I was like a kid in a candy store when I first entered B&Q…read more It's massive and they have a huge selection of paint. They also had a large selection of skirting boards and the only place I could find the right sized ones I need to cover some holes that were bashed in the wall while removing the old ones, while still being thin enough to match the door frames. Some stuff is really cheap compared to the likes of Woodies but other things are really expensive which confused me. For example No More Nails is nearly twice as expensive but their own brand roller sets are way cheaper at 3 euro, bargain. They also don't have an Irish website which I found annoying, I'd like to check prices before I make a trip out.

Wallpaper Hanging Excellence…read more After spending 40 euro per roll of wallpaper we needed someone who would hang it properly especially given the weight and matching required. Our previous hanger let us down badly so we had to start from scratch. Thomas was recommended by Gerry Keane where we purchased our paper so we called him and took a leap of faith and what a leap it was. Usually these leaps can cause nothing but hardship but in this case we fell on our feet on soft padding. Thomas has hung around 25 rolls of paper for us and the quality of his work is staggering. The paper he hung 12 months ago never so much as moved and I would challenge anyone to find the seams / matches from roll to roll. The feature walls were centered and really stand out. So if you need paper hung then look no further.

I dont know how I will do this without being offensive. My sisters were coming to Dublin to go to…read moreHarold Elmes wholesalers, so to make things easier all 6 of us decided to meet up for lunch. However, we decided we would accompany them to the wholesalers. We really didn't think we would leave with such a sour taste in our mouths and to be quite honest we were highly insulted. Apparently, the only other 2 customers in the place(FEMALES) passed a remark to the "Boss" that he would have his hands full with the "housewives" Obviously they meant us. The "Boss" called my sister aside and informed her the housewife image was not good for his business. And his assistant looked in her trolley and said "you dont use a wreath to decorate a business" Unfortunately I had put a wreath into the trolley for our mothers grave who passed away 4 mts ago. Just thought it would be nice for christmas. But getting back to the point "What does a housewife look like" and "Why would a housewife be bad for business?" When after all its housewives who keep you in business by buying your stock. And as a matter of interest, we were six women with a range of careers, ie. Doctor, physiotherapist, dual qualified nursesl, baker and bank official and two business owners. We found your remarks very very offensive. The least you could have done was asked the ladies with no VAT numbers to leave. Those with VAT numbers need not have been involved. And all because of a wreath. Very sad.
