Also ash vacuums and even a table top fridge which would be ideal for hibernation or converting to an incubator.

I'm not seeing the plants on their website for Thursday. I see a security camera at 19.99 though. I had one but put it in the skip when we were moving. why did I do that? I also dumped a plasterer's float and had to buy a new one tonight

I do it all the time and not just in their store
I did buy one of the wet and dry hoovers yesterday for just under £50 and wasn't expecting much but was quite please with it. The pipes are probably a weak point but as it's only for the tort room it will do it doesn't use bags so you just unclip the top and tip all the rubish in the bin.
