After searching, searching, and then...searching a bit more, I found links to the three things that seem ridiculously hard to locate in the UK, and I thought the least I could do was share :) I looked through a lot of pages, and these are all the links to the cheapest price I could find these items at.

http://www.the-aluminium-shop.co.uk/correx-sheet - Coroplast in white and black, comes in thickness starting at 2mm and going up, £3.49 for an 8ftx4ft sheet.

http://www.teacratepackaging.co.uk/protection-transit - Scroll down, and there's a 'large furniture protection blanket' for £6.58. This is what a Uhul blanket is.

http://www.wayfair.co.uk/Safco-Wire...736887&tduid=a353aedaa3d40dd2e244ad14e8d34581 - SAFE cubes with the 9x9 squares, £31.25 for 20 grids :)

The furniture protection blanket is not the same as uhaul pads. I bought the same kind you added the link to. They're made of wool and are really thin. They aren't absorbent. Uhaul pads are bits of recycled cotton that are pressed together and are a lot thicker. They're very absorbent.

Darn it! Really thought I'd finally found one then! If a moderator could remove UHAUL from the thread title when/if they see this, that'd be great.

I'll just have to keep searching I guess!

I thought it was the same thing, too, so I bought them. I was really disappointed.
