It will be a nice summer this year. It will, it will! I am determined that this year we'll be out in the garden. After the winter we've had, I need all the sunshine I can get. So outdoor garden toys are definitely on the top of my need-to-get list.

We've already got a trampoline, and I can't rave enough about how much fun they are for playing on. Focus have reduced this 10ft trampoline with enclosure from £149.99 to £99.99. But you can get a further 20% off the price, and pay £84.99, using the code below.

The 10ft trampoline is suitable for children aged six years and over. The maximum user weight for this trampoline is 100kg. It has galvanised springs and tubing, and weather resistant pads. It also comes with an enclosure, as the name suggests.

I think enclosures are essential for trampolines. My niece dug a hole in their garden, and put the trampoline in there so it was flush with ground level. But that's not possible in everyone's garden. Kids do eventually come off trampolines. Every child I knew growing up, when no-one had enclosures, who had a trampoline broke an arm or a leg at some point.

Our cat has taken to using the blue foam padding on the sides of the enclosure as a scratching post! The poor things are looking almost completely shredded. I was wondering if lagging, of the kind you use to keep pipes from freezing, is a suitable substitute? It is fairly cheap to get and we're going to go through a lot if the cat keeps this up. Has anyone tried that, and did it work?

A 10ft trampoline with enclosure for £50? Frankly when I first saw this I thought it was a mistake. But no, it is still up on the website, still in stock, and still at £50. Plus, if you use the promotional code webreg when you place your order, you'll get free delivery too.

• Bounce as fast as you can to Focus

If I had a garden big enough, I'd be ordering this now. My five year old absolutely loves his 'my first trampoline', a diddy version of this 10ft model. They're just fantastic. Kids don't just bounce on trampolines. They become a fort, a boat, a cave to hide from dinosaurs in!

Along with the enclosure the trampoline has weather resistant pads, and galvanised springs and tubing. The manufacturer recommends it to be used for children aged six plus. I couldn't see anything about the sorts of weights it will take, or if it will take adults as well as children.

This enormous trampoline comes complete with an enclosure to keep the children (and parents) safe. The price of £89.99 is actually superb value for money, I’ve not seen one cheaper than this online before.

Like garden gnomes and strangely mesmerising water features, this trampoline is the perfect garden accessory, especially for those who have kids. It will sit happily in the garden all through the year as it is weather resistant and tough, and provide your kids with many hours of happy exercise. 

The height of the trampoline, including the enclosure, is about 240cm and they do recommend that the minimum age is six years. I can see why, it’s a bouncy slice of madness and smaller children would easily get squished. 

The maximum weight to use the trampoline is 100kg, so best you don’t allow that one weird and overweight uncle to play on it. There’s always one who thinks it would be soooo much fun and then ends up breaking everything in sight. 

I think this is a fabulous investment in the summer that is lurking just around the corner...

Being a parent isn’t all about silky soft clothes and bottles and games, it’s also about getting the house ready or, quite possibly, repairing it as they leave a trail of destruction. If you need new home decor or have to fix a cupboard or two then the 70 percent sale at Focus is going to make you very, very happy.

For the kitchen there is 70 percent off selected goods plus an extra 10 percent in some cases. I’m not sure why but the site says so. Units have been marked down from £1766 to only £635.76 or £1020 to £275. It’s an impressive drop in price. While not all the units are 70 percent down, the markings are quite clear as to what reduction you are getting. 

Bathroom suites, home delivered, are down by 70 percent too but the savings are not very clear on the site in this section. Ensure that you are choosing the right units at a discount if you browse through here as nothing is very well marked. 

Needless to say, in spite of possibly having some navigation issues, you are bound to find some excellent deals in this sale so have fun.
