Being lucky enough to have both a spacious front and back garden, I am always on the look out for gorgeous new plants. I usually buy my lavendar and herbs from Flower City round the corner and go to Wyevale Garden Centre for everything else. It's expensive but the stock is always varied and extremely good quality. They have plant pots, soil, gardening furniture and seeds inside and a massive selection of seasonal and perennial flowers, plants and fruit trees inside. I've bought everything from rosemary, thyme and chilli plants to dahlias and rose bushes and everything has grown beautifully. In fact, if I could afford it I'd go back tomorrow and order fig and olive trees for next spring.

They have D.I.Y equipment for literally any occasion, if they haven't I will eat my socks! fact! The guys know the store well as it isn't a massive chain so you will get better advice here then you probably would elsewhere.

Ok, perhaps not, but if you're talking how many items they have in here per square foot, then they definitely win hands down, their stock even spills out the door. I have not idea where they put it when the close at night... Many household items of mine have been replaced by Bryden's. The doormat outside our front door, our shower curtain, our doorknobs and even our bathroom bin. Great prices and a friendly service have kept this place open for decades.

There's nothing inspirational about Homebase. I'd never…read moredream of buying a kitchen or bathroom for them. Their styles are too plain and cookie cutter for my taste. Likewise, their plant and garden section never knocks me off my feet. If I need to get paint or polyfilla however, I know I'm onto a winner. They also mix paints in store so if they haven't got the exact shade you want on the shelf, it's well worth thumbing through the colour strips and choosing one to get made up. Price-wise, Homebase is about the same as B&Q give or take a few pennies.

They have some interesting bits and pieces, although a pair of chairs we bought from there had been rather badly renovated (superficially fine) and the problem came to light after we bought them. On the other hand, they weren't expensive. I suppose the motto is 'caveat emptor!' when it comes to second-hand furniture. Although cheap, there are cheaper places, for example if you are a student looking to furnish a flat cheaply.

It really is understated furniture that I think you could put your own touches too if need be. Shop owner Michael Keehan has only been open for 5 months but has already had a large amount of customers ordering stock. He describes the furniture as 'eclectic and re-cycled for generations'. A lot of it seems to be made form old and re-claimed materials so does have that old antique feeling about it. There's plenty to have a look at in the shop and quite a bit outside also. Prices range quite a bit depending on which piece so best to phone or better still pop in and have a nose.

( I do remember that his ringtone was "Forever Young," that cool synthesizer 80s song, with the British guy singing kind of high)...anyway, I found the cheapest, firmest bed for the best price; in fact, it was a double. I paid $275.27 for the brand-new bed. The price included the bed and the box spring. I unfortunately don't recall the brand, but I think that it was dreamland. The bed was an ortho one, but definitely not the highest-end bed. Still, it was quite comfortable. I was able to get same-day delivery for free, using a student discount. I was lucky because it was towards the end of their business day, so I just made the cut-off for delivery. I ended up moving and selling the bed after 2 months, but for what it's worth, it was a good bed and came with a 1-year warranty.

This place is a whole lot smaller than the store across the road, which is strange really seeing as it is a self proclaimed 'Empire' of furniture. Much the same stock-wise as the other store, but just less of it. Sofas's, Drawers. Chests etc..which aren't too pricy or too quality, but again sometimes a good bet because they can also order items in, again, like the store opposite, for a £10 charge.
