Title: It was meant to be mine

OH saw a garden seat on a skip while out for a walk last night  :D he said we could not take it i would have to ask (I know he was right but right isn,t fun is it )
anyway I was on my way home with the paper this morning when a man said hello i went to school with your daughter do you remember me ( d is 38)we started chatting and he said he was on his way to price a turfing job but he was afraid it was a bit early on a sunday morning to knock on their door yes i said I want to ask someone if I can take a bench out of their skip. as we were walking along we were passing the skip so he said I,ll take it for you and he did  :o
carried it to my garden around the corner  8) it seems the house he was going to was next door. I feel sure I was just meant to have that seat it will be perfect for a rest at my allotment

Awww your so polite.

I have a friend that often hires a skip and she is always telling me how she sits and giggles as she watches the skip looters at work  ;D

May you have many happy hours on your new seating  :)

I call myself lots of names.  Now I officially have another one to add.

"Skiplooter" - I like it.
