Phil I thought your idea on having one thread for useful contacts was a brilliant idea!
I agree with Debbie's comments completely!
So I have collected a few recent comments put on the forum and lets see if anyone can add to it :-
here is a Primark - it is in the nouvo condominia shopping centre on the otherside of the motorway opposite IKEA (next to the new stadium). From Condado it is motorway all the way, takes about 30 - 40 minutes. There are also 2 big supermarkets, free delivery on white goods, and Saturn, a big electrical store.

They are 2Mx3M and the pergola is 3Mx4M so you would need two see http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/60125785

Hi - If anyone is interested, I am using a chap from Yorkshire called George who lives in Mazarron to do my electrical work. I took the lights I wanted over with me on my last trip and he is wiring them all in on Monday. His tel no is 0034 630 239 523. He is a lovely bloke.

Just got back from visiting Condado, stayed at La Torre. We did lots of looking around at furniture shops and packages. Decided to get the air con from Polaris and that is being fitted this week.
We found a great shop in San Javier called Castor Furnishing where we bought beds, drawers, sofa, tv unit etc, they include delivery and installation in the price. There were lots of choices if colours/fabrics etc not just 3or4 as in most places. I felt the quality was really good and the prices much cheaper than Polaris and some of the other shops we looked at. We dealt with Laura who was very helpful and just need to email when we want to arrange delivery in Sept when we go back.
Just looking for lights on the net now otherwise were having candles when we go back!

I'm over in Murcia just now, just ordered my furniture from Z-beds they are just before you come to Mar Menor Resort on the left, they don't do packages, got all my beds, sofa bed, dining table,chairs, tv unit, table all in solid wood, also got my silver goods as well,I dealt with a guy called Andy, they are going to be openning a show apartment in Jardin 10 soon.
Have just got my lights from Ikea and the outside ones from Leroy Merlins and this worked out for 15 lights 340 euros.
Got some of our bedding from Primark which is in the big shopping centre just past Ikea (Nuevo Condo) or something like that.
Just going to wait until September to get the rest.
Away back to HR from some R&R
I am just back, had my aircon instaled by a company called PolarAir, Gary was very good, 3 units in lounge and the 2 bedrooms, works fine, and easily powerful enough for the apartments. It was a lot less than Polaris. No. is 0034966770749.
Got my lights from IKEA, and installed them myself, total cost about 70€
