A cheap pool

I’ve always had a secret dream to have a swimming pool in the back garden, I found one on Tchibo this week for a measley £120! I know it’s not the real deal, but a good compromise I reckon – especially as our temperate climate is not perfect for an outdoor pool anyway. (I must point out this option is unheated – so if you buy one you’ll have to pray for a lot of sunny days to heat it up!)

The only real problem I can see with buying this pool in particular is that you’ll be at the mercy of Tchibo online services – whilst they will bend over backwards for you in their stores and their customer service is faultless – the online ordering certainly had a few glitches last time I placed an order. Maybe it has improved? Buy a pool and tell me…..

I would buy this right now if only they would ship to Malawi! Heating is not a problem here!! (nice blog Nikki!!)

Don't buy anything from Tchibo online if you are not 100% sure that you will keep and love the stuff!
I recently bought a talking thermometer from them, but apparently it has to be put inside the mouth, under the armpit or inside the anus !!
Not what I'm looking for..!
So I wanted to return it and arranged a pick up. Nobody turned up. I emailed and phoned them and then they promised to refund within 5 working days, but nothing came either. Sent several emails but nobody replied !! Gosh... I agree with you, in the shop the customer service are very excellent... but don't try it with the online services !
