I'm about to start decorating DD2's bedroom with an underwater sea theme. I've got the stick on fish, a gorgeous bed canopy but no duvet set (she's just moved into her bed from the cot).

I'm living in Perth been to loads of shops but can't find anything that would go with the theme so just in case anyone has seen a set PLEASE let me know......

Thank you!

NM (must change my name.....)

Hi NottsMum. Have you had a look in the back of the home magazines in the adverts bit? There maybe some mail order places you could check out.

Are you still on to meet up tomorrow? Hopefully the rain will stay away and we can go to the same place as last week. I will email Suzy now and see what she thinks.

Ah, had't thought of that. Although I have just discovered a new store to visit call Spotlight. Don't know what it's like but it sounds like it could be like Dunelm in the UK.

Hope to come tomorrow but lunchtime would be better for me as I'm going to nip over to Subiaco market tomorrow after the music class to stock up on cheap fruit and veg. Sooo, probably best if you make a plan and if I can join you I will.

I really have been on MN too long - anyone mentions "fishy" and I assume it's Cod-related

I'm assuming from the subiaco reference that you're in Perth, Australia, rather than Scotland - if so, there seems to be a good shop called KidsCove - not much on the website but you might be able to go there?

there are a bunch of other links at

being oz, you need to search for the words "doona" and "manchester" when googling.......

Ooh, great finds. Yes, I'm in Oz. Wish I was in Queensland at the moment. I would die to visit the myownspace shop. It looks fantastic. (The bank balance wouldn't survive the trip though )

So, why is bedlinen called "Manchester"? Bizarre if you ask me. Yes, keep forgetting to say "doona" instead of "duvet", have confused the local shop assistants!
