I went to the Croydon IKEA once. It was on a Saturday and we spent 30 minutes trying to Park, 2 hours going through the store only to find the items we wanted were out of stock.
Mrs Elbow hated it too so we skipped the meatballs and stopped off at Uncle Sams on the way home.
I've got an Nrem TWeak mattress. They customise it to your weight, sleeping style and preferred firmness. It was £1100, 5 years ago, so not cheap but not ultra expensive. I kept it after the 100 day trial. It has the benefit of specifying different firmness and weights for 2 people, which...
My son was quoted £2,000 for replacing tiles around his bath/ shower with wall panels. The quote included all materials but reusing the existing shower screen. Parking and access are a pain which will have added to the cost.

I'm in Lewes and Sky has been very good with exceptional reliability, which is very important with Mrs Elbow working at home. They keep putting the price up and its irritating having to phone and renegotiate every time, but I'm reluctant to change as so many horror stories of poor service out...
