Buy your complete Bathroom suite from Wickes Bathroom, and be sure of a great quality design and finish, as well as a competitive price. Traditionally, you could only buy your bathroom in-store, but thanks to the recent launch of Bathrooms by Wickes (wickesbathrooms.co.uk), you can now benefit from the great Internet prices by buying your new bathroom online (You’ll get it delivered free of charge if you spend over £150). There is a huge range of Wicks bathroom suites, ranging in price from £399 for the Oslo suite, all the way up to the luxury of the £1,498 Santa Rosa suite. (Prices correct at time of writing, but subject to change).

Right now, there is a great sale on Bathrooms by Wickes products! With up to 50% off bathroom suites, furniture and taps and 20% off all shower enclosures and bath screens there has never been a better time to plan a new bathroom. Here’s a rundown of the suites on offer:

Belmar

Contemporary style with just a hint of retro! 40% off this range, now just £566. The Belmar Bathroom Suite comprises a straight bath, angular bath and basin taps, and a sleek basin and toilet pan. As with all the suites from Wickes, you can mix and match the individual items to customise your bathroom (This will obviously change the price)

Avalon

Bold sleek and completely contemporary! 50% off, now just £599. Rounded and curves are two words to describe this homely feeling bathroom suite, with a huge D-shaped basin, chrome X-style taps and a softly rounded bath and wc, featuring a water-saving push-button flush.

Java

Striking yet chic continental style bathroom. 50% off, now just £687. You’ll be in your element in this bathroom, as the large, double ended bath converts into an invigorating spa – you won’t want to get out. When you do, you’ll find the square lines of the bath and basin taps striking, set beautifully against the smooth curves of the bath, wc and basin.

Belize

A classic look to complement any style. 25% off, now just £919. This Wicks bathroom suite is the ultimate fusion of modern design and tradition comfort, the Belize is a design that will never date, with classic stylings on the double end bath, toilet pan and basin, completed with some fantastic chrome cross-style taps.

Of course, if you’re not looking for a complete bathroom suite, then Bathrooms by Wickes can still help you, as they stock all kinds of bathroom accessories and furniture, whether you fancy some nice new chrome taps, a chrome shower downlight, or a new bath panel or toilet seat. They even offer a Design Consultant service to help you plan your perfect bathroom from scratch – If you don’t need that much hand-holding, and just need a gentle nudge as to the type of bathroom design that you want, then you’ll love Wickes “Ideas and Inspiration” section of the Bathrooms by Wicks website, which will help you decide the style and range to suit you. All prices and ranges correct at time of writing – Please check the website for the very latest Wicks Bathroom Suites.

Play.com have issued a £2 discount code for use on all purchases over £20. This discount code has been released to celebrate a new look to the Play.com site. To take advantage of this discount code, simply enter the code NEWPLAY08 into the promotional code box when you reach the checkout. If you have got at least £20 worth of items in the basket, then £2 will be taken off. Remember Play give free delivery on all items.

So what’s changed? Play have gone for a cleaner layout, with a much better search function. The actual look of the site is I would say similar to that just adopted by Amazon. Plenty of Blues and Orange; the navigation still revolves around the top menu. In fact apart from the look and feel being that of Amazon, the menu’s operate the same too, with useful rollovers to get the submenus and contextual menus on the subpages.

Whether these changes are for the better, we can only assume that as two of the biggest online retailers, they certainly should have. The £2 sweetener that Play are also giving their customers should also help, get them looking at the new designed Play.com

One thing about Play.com, is that they still have their great offers available. From the latest releases, such as Sweeney Todd, save £10, buy for £9.99 to their new pick and mix promotion where there are loads of items from just £2.99. If that doesn’t tickle your fancy – I’m not sure what else might, but maybe the Buy One Get One Free on Disney DVDs may help?
If you’re an Indiana Fan, what about this twist on an old favourite of mine:

Mr Potato Head: Taters Of The Lost Ark

The Wii Fit release is looming upon us, and with it comes the prospect of endless hours of fun and fitness playing all the great games on the unique balance board. The problem is, that the Wii Fit is powered by batteries, and for the endless hours of fun, you will have to have an endless supplies of batteries – right? Well that was sure to be true until the development of a rechargeable battery pack. We have also found a protective cover and a carry bag for transporting the Wii Fit around.

Wii Fit rechargeable battery pack
The Wii Fit rechargeable battery pack works the same as the wii remote charging pack, by recharging the pack whilst not in use, leaving you a fully charged wii fit board when you need it. This particular Wii Fit accessory is great and once fully charged gives you up to 20 hours of continuous play, more than enough for each days use. The cost of the Wii Fit rechargeable battery pack is only £12.99 – so alot cheaper than replacing batteries.

The rechargeable battery pack for the Wii Fit, is charged by USB either connected to the Wii itself, or via a PC. So nice and convenient, and doesn’t take up a mains slot, which could be hard to find when the Wii, the TV have to be all plugged in.

At the time of writing I have only found the Wii Fit Rechargeable Battery Pack available from Woolworths and you can buy it from the link below.

Wii Fit Protective Cover
This tough and durable silicone cover will keep your Wii Fit in pristine condition. Providing your Wii Fit with a cover will stop it from getting scratched and damage through use. Made from silicone this Wii Fit accessory will prevent slipping and fits securely to the Wii Fit, so will prevent it shifting whilst in use.

The Wii Fit Protective Cover is priced at £12.99 and is also available from Woolworths online. Buy through the link below.

Wii Fit Travel Storage Bag
If you’re lucky enough to own a Wii Fit, and your friends aren’t, then you’ll love this Wii Fit accessory, the Wii Fit Travel Storage Bag. In this bag you can put your Wii Fit, games and other accessories so you can take it along to your friends house and play there – Genius. Priced at just £9.99 it’s affordable and will protect your Wii Fit from damage from knocks and the weather as it’s made from high quality weather resistant and durable materials. The shoulder strap is padded for comfort.

Here are the Wii Fit Accessories you can purchase from Woolworths:
