Post by: wpclean on May 01, 2015, 11:56:36 am: Just been looking at Wickes, and it is £3.50 a bag if buying 5 or more, and you get a 10% discount if you get a trade account !

Post by: Richy L on May 01, 2015, 01:35:41 pm: I buy Wickes sand as it is a nice white KD sand which looks best in my opinion, and it also seems to be the cheapest around!
