Phew!

We're having the bathroom done.
Got the plumber booked for the 9th.
Went round looking at suites. Didn't rush. Finally ordered one. Delivery 6th - last working day before the plumber arrives.
A bit too close for comfort, that one.
Better sort some tiles and a shower curtain, too.

We had a look round various places and ended up with one from B&Q - we wanted something PLAIN and you either get them from cheap places or VERY expensive places. So the cheap place it was...
Would've been cheaper if we'd liked the taps that come in the package deal, but as it was we've had to buy all the porcelain/glassfibre parts of the whole suite and then the taps and stuff separately.
If you want to see a decent range, ask a builder/plumber where to look - about the biggest range in Manc is a place called Atlas (iirc), but you wouldn't know about it unless somebody told you.
Oh, MFI have a small range too, I think they only do compleat packages but if they have one you like they're even cheaper than B&Q.

Thanks! I have to say I've been looking at the B&Q one. My taste is very plain as well, although I want the smallest loo they do (not the corner one though) because of the size of room. That and a standard sized enamel bath. We have a place called Carver's which probably has the best selection (of everything) in Wolves, but of course they are open weird hours. Might trek up there next week when I'm off. I must ask their lead times as well.
