Found polyfill on Amazon for £4.99 per kg, I'll just buy a bag of that. EDIT: found 250g for £3.69 with free delivery, so went with that instead, should be plenty for a few tubs.
Just need some tubs, I wish Rubbermaid stuff was more popular in the UK, when I lived in the US it was about all you could find, super tough and easy to cut without it shattering or splitting..
I reckon it'll have to be local pound shops unless anyone has really good tubs they'd recommend.

Found some decent looking tubs on Amazon, all with clear lids on them too.
Price isn't bad and free delivery on some.
6 x 35ltr - £30 - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Plastic-Storage-Boxes-clear-lids/dp/B0069A8BG0/ref=pd_cp_office_0
5 x 24ltr - £23 - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Plastic-Storage-Boxes-24-Pack/dp/B00433D4V2/ref=pd_cp_office_1
5 x 32ltr - £24 - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Plastic-Storage-Boxes-clear-lids/dp/B0069A9IW6/ref=pd_sim_kh_1
5 x 45ltr - £31.50 - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Plastic-Storage-Boxes-clear-lids/dp/B0069AA3TI/ref=pd_sim_kh_2
There are a few more in the "customers who bought these also bought" section as well, can't believe I never checked Amazon before, the free delivery on some of them is a real bonus too.
Think I'll go for 5 x 32ltr to start with, will let y'all know what the quality is like.

I'd go with the 5x24 from Amazon, that's pretty decent value and I love that size for mini-monos!
BTW polyfill = soft toy from pound shop

I'll definitely be down for a visit or two when the weather picks up, still toying with the idea of buying a place down there, near or in Truro probably, though Falmouth and several other locations are on the list, just need to sort out a few things in my personal life before I make any decisions.
Will let you guys know when I'm going to be around.

none that are shroomery sponsors.
If you are looking to get prints, check out the free spore ring. Send them 2 euros and an addressed envolope and you get a print.
Or just order from one of the vendors that will ship here (no reason why not)

That's the thing its usually up to £10 delivery and seems to cost money to transfer to bank in Europe (did last time for spores) around £10 so one spore print costs £39!
Thats another thing, with the spore ring I didn't have any Euros in the house so went to a local shop, asked for 2 Euros thinking Im sure this will be fine no probs, but they only deal in notes (20 euro min)! and according to her this is the same most places! So cant even find a fucking 2 euro!

Are you after a professional print or a traded print. If its the latter, pm me with your address and I'll get one of my spares out to you. no cost needed, just spreading the love.

wow i just checked, i havnt ordered prints for years. im sure only only cost like £30 to get several syruinges, i ordered a special 4 pack once had it delivered from the US.
Trading is a good option, so get up on spore printing, 1 syringe will will be able to get yourself enough mush to do lots of prints.

Asda have 24ltr tubs at 2 x £5, can't beat £2.50 each each I don't think. They are opaque white, so may allow enough light with no modification depending on the strength of the light source.
They are pretty flexible plastic, I don't think splitting/shattering would be an issue, either for drilling holes for SGFC's, cutting out the lid to put clear plastic on, or cutting out circles for monos. 
I would have bought a few today but I was on a bicycle and didn't fancy the ride home with 8 24ltr tubs..

Hey guys just a heads up for UK spores. At the moment MRCA are doing 5 syringes for €34.98 instead of the usual price of €64.49 it's €15.50 for delivery to the uk BUT 5 syringes at that price plus the shipping still works out an awesome deal. They also have a nice choice of strains. It's a shame there aren't any uk sponsors, but I've read good stuff from the European ones

Unfortunately you don’t get freebies for mentioning the shroomery, I asked them. They did say though the more syringes/prints you buy you will get a discount

I plan on making prints from every harvest and I have 6 strains ATM so I am hoping to do a few donation type things. Or trades I guess. We should totally set up some sort of system where we UK folk have a way to get free prints and donate prints too. I don't like the idea of sending wads of prints to FSRE through the post, Royal Mail might at some point think 'hmmmm where is she getting all these things from' lol sending one or two here and there within the uk wouldn't be a problem. Plus a second class stamp costs less than international postage, so makes sense to keep it on the island.

I don't mind paying for prints/syringes I just dislike the P&P which can be £20 plus in import fees to the UK. I just got my All American 925 pressure cooker and the import fee on that was £54.64
