Having arrived at 10.10am on a Monday it wasn't too busy and we managed to get to see two of the show homes which weren't particularly inspiring however Jane did see some wonderful glass tiles that would heighten the colours in a bathroom so we will store this idea away until we get the chance to decorate the new house.

As for everything else it was largely cosmetics and feminine treatments or house cleaning equipment, mops and window cleaners. They always look really useful in the hands of someone who demonstrates the product every day but you just know that if you were ever foolish enough to buy one and battle your way through the London underground with this "mop" in your hands, it would be no better or any worse than any standard mop you could pick up from Wilkinsons in the high street for a lot less money. As to why all these makeups and cosmetics make an "Ideal Home" I remain clueless.

It was a day out but I don't think I shall be going again, ever.
