Got one of these today (the Cricklewood branch has loads of 'em):

Reduced from 15 quid to 6    ;D

Also a dozen small Wintersweet plants (rather dried out and sorry for themselves in their pots, but still alive) at 20p a time   ;D


reeee-ZULT!!

the little barrow thingy was fine until the wheels cracked under the pressure!

mine is currently being used as a water butt/pond.

I often wondered what they had done with all those recycled reliants ;D

I almost bought one some time ago but as my shed is crammed full of gardening stuff and patio furniture I have absolutely no space for one, so with a sigh, I resisted the urge. They do look very useful though.

Fill it with straw, stick a cushion on top, et voila! Portable sun lounger!

Must admit, the word 'Commode' crossed my mind when I bought it...

well, if you saw the 'facilities' on our allotment site....

;D

If they do steel ones they could double up as a BBQ.   ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Was thinking £15 a definite "no", but at £6 would definitely want a couple. They look very useful and I could think of several uses for them.  :) busy_lizzie
