Have you had your eye on anything, furniture, goods, clothes etc etc .

I have had my eye on this small round glass table with chrome chopstick legs for quite a while, but seeing as though I couldn't
find any chairs to match at a reasonable price I gave up with the idea.

It is in a shopping village across the road "Oswaldtwistle Mills" if anyone has heard of it.

Anyway popped in for a new diary earlier on this evening and went to look at "my" table lol.

I nearly had to sit on one of the chairs!

Last Friday it was at it's price that it has been for around a year. £119

Todays price!! Order now in time for Christmas! £169 shock £50 price rise since Friday!

Christmas price then, maybe it will go down in the sale Bikergran …?

Right back to the original asking price!! Lol
OP, can you find the same table but with black legs cheaper? Then all you need is some Rustoleum spray paint in the required colour and you can decorate the table legs and some chair legs and no one will be the wiser!!

Maybe lol and yes I could spray the legs. But I was only looking at the table...was always humming and arrring if to buy, if not etc but I couldn't find the chairs I wanted at the right price either, so put it on back burner.

But! whats to say that in the January sales, I may come across some chairs hmm the time me be right lol

I did that with a watch I had my eye on / hoping that I could get it reduced in a sale / then Brexit came along and the duty on top made it unaffordable/ I wish I’d bought it then ?

Me too I still call it the Bubble factory, interesting story how it first started out.

Bubble factory sound much more fun lol, I live directly across the road (well round the corner) I'm often found lingering about when I need a bit of fresh air, I just trot across the road smile

I live in Blackburn and must visit the Bubble Factory soon
