I hope you have stocked up ready for our project ;)



Does it involve Zorro and Hurons in an ECW setting?

Went into my local Focus yesterday on a hunt, and the loft insulation section has been gutted and replaced with Christmas trees... Foiled!

Well:

Checked out Focus: £24.99 a pack (4)

Went to B&Q: £19.99 a pack (4)

So B&Q for the win!  :D

Excellent! Looking forward to seeing those trenches. I only made a small trench system, but it was pink foam and matchsticks at its core!

The B&Q pricing system is quite strange.  At one outlet that I visited they had only the packs of 4 at £20+ (no good for me as I needed 5) whereas at another they had singles at £3.78 each with the pack of 4 priced more expensively at £17+. 

How bizzare, didn't see any singles at my branch, but will check again as I'm all for not spending more than necessary.

Cheers

Well the singles are available:

But the four packs are 19.99.  ??? Hmmm think I'll be taking the pack back for five singles!

Thanks guys, (could have done without the distration of trenches tonight as there be hummers to paint! :D)

Yeah cheers for that, turned out they had around 60 separate sheets out the back and hadn't but them out, (a likely story!) :)
