Please tell me that I am not the only one who gets excited by the latest Maplins catalogue, going to the indexes first just for the sheer fun of it. cloud9: redface:

I made the mistake of buying on line from Maplins. Never again and have now "unsubscribed" from their newsletter at least 12 times but still they come.
Sorry to tell you that I do not share your excitement. Their catalogue goes straight in the bin without even getting out of its plastic wrapper

McKinney explained at the committal proceedings that she had fallen head over heels for Anderson ...adding: "I loved him so much that I would ski naked down Mount Everest in the nude with a carnation up my nose if he asked me to."

I have refurbished a few houses JOM so catalogues from Skrewfix and Maplins are staples of mine, these should not be confused with Staples who are an office suppliers who supply, well, offices I suppose.
