Well as mine was for the kitchen, telling the time surprisingly wasn't actually a requirement because the microwave, oven and house phone all tell the time in the kitchen. It was more to fill a gap on the wall.

It's pretty useless for telling the time - I like it though (re-occurring theme going on). I've got it above the headboard of my bed at the moment, used to have it on a pillar in my old kitchen.

I looked at that clock, but I wasn't sure about it.

Far too big for a kitchen clock.

I could get away with one that size, but the one I liked was 120cm by 60cm, which was just a bit too big. I could probably get away with 100cm by 50cm and still make the room feel spacious.

That's the one we have ordered, our house isn't built yet but having looked in one this should fit nicely is quite large though :lol: but I liked it so we got it. Plus got it for £220, they do some nice smaller sliding top ones to which I originally wanted but when I spotted this had to have it

They had a lovely coffee table that I wanted to get but the layout of my room means that a large coffee table will make the room feel really small. It's a massive room, but the space for a coffee table is in a narrow bit between the sofa and fireplace.

That's why I opted for those 2 side tables, they will be in the room separately, but can be put together to form a larger table.

Dwell do some really nice stuff, went into there store in MK yestersay and bought a funky coffee table will post a link instead of trying to describe it :lol: ended up with a bargain to, my other half had £20 gift voucher they send her and then they sent a 20% off over bank holiday weekend and they allowed us to use both :D

Look like nice stuff :thumbs:

This site is good:

Ordered 10 green and 10 red of the small economy pins for about £9.50 delivered.

Aye, try not to travel much, should keep costs down :look:

Thanks mate, they look perfect, £15 for 12 though :!

I've got that world map :lol:

I bought some smaller pins, type in child safe magnetic drawing pins on google. Nobo i think they're called.

Ordered this clock instead:

Fancied the square one but it was an extra £35 :!, so opted for the round one.

Also if anyone has any ideas where I can buy magnets for the map (preferably much smaller than the ones pictured, and in 2 different colours), please let me know.

2 of these for the living room:
