Wouldn't be without mine - got it off ebay - there was a thread a while back - one of the others will probably be able to find it for you- as I'm not having any luck! I know Argos had one quite cheap! Beware once you have one - you will laminate everything in sight - even the kids, if they'd only stay still long enough!!!! ;D Tasha

Hiya
I bought my laminator a couple of months ago and I have used it ALOT! It was on sale at WH Smith at the time reduced from £24.99 to £12.49. Definately a bargain. Like Tasha said, when you get one you really will go mad laminating everything you can get your hands on ha!ha! Emler x

I've got one and have used it loads and I'm not even minding yet! I'm just collecting lots of resources at the mo, making playroom signs etc and thinks it's great for that.
I've also gone through my own children's old artwork and lamited some key pieces to keep them nice.

I got an A3 one from Netto two weeks ago for £14.99, your local store may still have some lurking out back if you ask them

Hi
I bought my laminator from Wilko's too - i've had it about a year and it's still going strong.
Beware, as Tasha says, laminating is addictive (like this forum).
Wilko's also sell the laminating pouches quite cheaply
Cheers

I got my laminator from Asda about 18 months ago and it is still going strong, despite the fact that I use it like mad!!!! It's good to hear I'm not the only one who laminates everything in sight ;D If you have a pound shop near to you they do laminating pouches 15 in a pack and they are really good.

When you find your bargain Tasha let me know
I still have not got one and I really really need one
I still do not have any idea what I am looking for
So if you find a good one then let me know please

Definately recommend a binding machine, they are not expensive either. My laminator is a cold & hot one also A3 so was slightly more expensive but well worth it.
Both machines get used weekly for one thing or another.
Don't forget to put them through your books
