Did they deliver it for you? And where do you keep it, in your house? I'm asking coz the parents are refusing to let me keep any at home

lol I seem to remember I went to their shop and bought it...then carried it home on the tube and everything . I think they will deliver, but by courier only.
My parents ended up with it in their garage for ages - I bought it while I was at uni and when I graduated and everything came home and that did too. It was kept in the garage as it was cool but a few years back they had a fire and so I think it went "boom" with a lot of other stuff!
If you follow the instructions for use and storage properly, then it shouldn't be a problem
