How much is expensive??

I saw some nice bedding in Marks & Spencer the other week, and it was £65 for a duvet cover and you had to buy the pillow cases separately for, I actually don't know cos when I saw the price of the duvet cover alone I lost interest!! :curse:

I know you can get cheap in the UK but sometimes cheap is tat..........

Also bear in mind that the bed sizes are different here though. Unless you are going to bring all your beds and use linen on them - be careful. King Size UK = Queen size Australia.
