where oh where can I buy a new linen basket?

[chocfreeclary]

Aarrrgh! I can no longer stand our wicker linen basket, the liner is long gone and now th ebasket is shedding wicker all over the bathroom floor.
But where can I buy another one? I've looked at John Lewis on line but the only one I liked was £65! Isn't that a bit dear? Also checked out my local kitchen/department store where they were even more expensive....
Also I need it to be quite big (!) don't want much do I?
Anyone got any top tips about this (I know you are all experts on the laundry )

Wooolies?

Tesco! We got a wicker one with 'darks' and 'lights' sections for under £20. It's not massive though. They do a white one that's quite big though. Wicker/silver iirc. Think that was less than £30.

I have a basket that I got in Ikea:

www.ikea.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10101&storeId=7&productId=14691&langId=-20&parentCats=10115*10298

or they do this one:

www.ikea.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10101&storeId=7&productId=11223&langId=-20&parentCats=10115*10298

cotswold company have 20% off at the moment I think.

I gave up and bought a LLoyd Loom one in an auction for £12 when I was looking

Argos and Index have a selection.

I have a lovely one but sadly for you I bought it in the Philippines

sorry

Maybe a filipina mumsnetter could send you one?

The heaven that is LAKELAND

woolworths??? or Wilkinsons??

Dibor is a lovely catalogue. Pretty pricey,but I would gladly live with 90% of its contents.

Where and what is Wilkinsons??!!

Sort of like Woolworths Moondog. I wouldn't expect someone as classy as yourself would do there.

Lonelymum!!!!
Hey, don't underestimate me laydeeeeee!!!
I am a BIG fan of Poundstretcher and Matalan I'll have you know!
(Wilkinsons must be an English southern (?) thing?)

Well I never came across one until I moved to here (West Sussex) but then I have never lived further north than Rugby. (Dare I mention that word yet?)

Do they have them in Brighton then, where my sister is? I know they have Primark there, the portals of which I have never graced/darkened
(delete as appropriate)

Good God, I must be desperate!

My synapses fired 9for once0 and I just got the rugby mention. Doh!!!! Oh yes, lonelymum,you talk rugby as much as you like!!

I know the Primark in Brighton!!!! But, like you, have never stepped foot in it.
Don't know about Wilkinsons in Brighton (though they have a Woolworths (which I do patronise as I like Ladybird clothes The Wilkinsons I know is in Horsham.

Met a friend of mine in the village yesterday: he is Welsh and the topic of conversation was VERY BORING!

Oh I just phoned one of my babysitters at home (as I have a meeting the night I get back) and I was asking her what it was like in town last night. She said the atmosphere was brilliant..much outragously exuberent behaviour and wild partying. Oh to have been there..!

I love Ladybird clothes! (Why the shame?!)

I am sure Van was rocking just by your efforts alone.

My friend was on a skiing weekend in Chamonix and he said the pub where he saw the match was divided between English people and a whole range of other nationalities. All the other nationalities were supporting Wales. I didn't know other nations were so inclined to support the underdog!

Lm!!!
