Please resist the temptation of going to the B&Q up the road to save a few pennies,though surprisingly enough i have found some things alot cheaper here,but even if they weren't,i still rather give my hard earned pennies to mr Strowger than to the inhuman depersonalisation, of faceless chain-store criminality.

The recent storms in London brought down a few of our fence panels at home. So, my sister and I headed out to look for supplies to perform a few repairs. Wickes had more builders' materials than Homebase across the road We got good advice from the staff and walked out with the right tools to effect the necessary repairs. Sadly, if the fence falls down again, I'll have to blame my DIY skills rather than the materials. As you know, a bad workman blames his tools!

It's the first place i go when i need a 'thing' and i'm not sure where to find it because they usually have it and if they don't they tend to know somewhere that does sell that 'thing' i'm after. There are always plenty of staff knocking about re-stocking so if you have any questions you'll easily find someone to ask. The prices are very reasonable and it's just a very handy store.

I have an addiction to kitchen gadgets and their big bold sales signs for kitchen gadgets usually draw me in. However, I've developed a good rule in not buying something immediately but coming back after an hour and usually the Chinese thrift gene has kicked in to save me buying something I don't really need. However, do look in here for simple gadgets, which may well cost less than elsewhere.

Then, I read that the weather was about to turn wet last weekend, so I decided to do some quick planting and let Mother Nature do the hard job of watering for me! Homebase does a lot of home improvement and DIY supplies but they also have a decent gardening section. It's located out of the back of the shop and I lucked out as they were having a sale - I guess it's getting quite late in the season for planting. To complement my existing raspberry, strawberry plants and herb garden, I was able to put in a blueberry plant and add tomatoes, sweetcorn and courgettes. I have to hold up my hand as a sad foodie geek - I planted the courgettes mainly to get courgette flowers to try out a recipe - they're impossible to buy in the markets!

The great thing was having this Homebase about a mile from home. Its a fairly big version and has plenty of parking. Inside there are all the relevant sections for us, paint, wood, tools, nails, etc. The garden section is also very extensive and we have spent some time there in the Spring picking out bits and pieces. My only criticism would be the check-out, it has to be the slowest around. I also had to wait ages for someone to help mix some paint even though there were only a handful of customers in the place. However it is convenient and the prices are good.
