Strange freecycle request...
« on: February 28, 2009, 08:29:01 »
... This has come up on our freecycle board today. I'm not even sure they'd be able to keep them there!

Not sure about the rest, but my old ELC Swing makes a great climbing frame for peas/beans/squash...  :)

You reminded me to check my yahoo account where my freecycle stuff goes - haven't checked it for ages & the messages really stack up..

Found that someone's asking for a 'Little Tykes Bubble Car'....and til then I thought they wanted a proppa 1960s model ::)

A play house would make a great tool storage shed...

Now...what about the slide?

With a few modifications it would display trailing plants really well, in pots on the steps, hanging on the side rails and with some retaining bars across the slide...  ;D

when I had an allotment, people had childrens swings, etc.  kept their kids occupied when they got fed up with gardening  ;D  we were allowed anything within reason.  obviously we were not council run  ;) I've moved counties and house now, so only have a garden now

The bubble car would be a splendid moveable dome propagator/mini greenhouse, wouldn't it?

Now... uses for the Little Tykes?
