I go for walks up on my local common land mountain. The fly tipping there is terrible. Everything you can imagine is tipped there. I got loads of planks of wood from there a few weeks ago. I am going back for more this week,and hoping to get a window or 2 to make some cold frames. If it is still there, I am going to get a roll of garden hose too (couldnt carry it all back to the car last time).

Even though it is great for scavenging, it really annoys me. There is broken glass amongst the grass where the sheep graze, often there are lame sheep around. Asbestos sheets are everywhere too. A beautiful area is being ruined.

Anyway, enough ranting!

hello all, collect all the free CD's you get from the newspapers, tie onto canes with long string so they can twist and turn. Looks wonderful in the sunlight and pidgeons, seagulls hate them! :o

I work in a school on a large housing estate, in my job I do a lot of home visits and all the houses are currently having kitchen and bathroom refurbishing along with double glazing.

I am very close to stopping the car in my business suit and asking the workmen if I can have some old baths and windows.

How many baths do you think I can get in a Rover, sun roof open of course. 1 in and 1 on top. XX Jeannine

PS Reminder to get more bungy cords

Try and beat the world record for baths in a rover Jeannine. ;D ;D ;D

I don't think I dare, I really want to but I might lose some street cred in the neighbourhood, I think they think I am nuts already but driving all day with bath on the top of the car...............

In business suit of course. The imagination is working overtime here Jeannine. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Put it the right way up, put the plug in, fill with water. Hey presto, a car jaccuzzi ;D

Just drive very slowly around corners if there is someone using it :o

Oooh, just thought, you could tape the end of a garden hose to the bottom inside, put the other end of the hose in through the car window. You could blow into it as you drive along, and it would be as good as any you'd buy from the shops ;D ;D ;D

You are too much, all this laughing, it can't be good ,

Seriously now, if I made a set of wheels I could fasten one on and they would think it is a trailer,if I drove around with it every day for a week they would get used to it, then I could pick up all sorts of stuff. If I painted it red to match my car, no probs.

I think I need to buy a pick up

Emagggie · « **Reply #75 on:** May 27, 2007, 23:05:44 »

I would love a pick-up, J. I am forever being moaned at about the state of my car. If I had a pick-up I could be as messy as I liked. Hmmmm, maybe I'll go looking for a bath on wheels and a soldering iron......it can't be that difficult to incorporate the two. ;D

OMG you are all as mad as me............... didn't think anyone could be that

To me, everything has other possibilities. My best mate always brings a carrier bag full of 'treasure' for me when she calls in. What more can you want from a friend???? ;D

I waded into the sea about three years ago in almost waist high water to get one of those very bright blue strong oblong plastic boxes that they pack fish in.It had fallen off a boat. Well I wasn't going to lost it was I. It is great for growing salad green in. I have three now. XX Jeannine
