Nice skip dive yesterday. It was dumped on top of a pile of garden rubbish. The man said I could have it.



Mighty chuffed. I don't actually need it but I couldn't let it go to the tip. I will find a new home for it.

That's lovely!! Unbelievable what some folks throw away. Our local tip has a charity shop on site so at least if people can be bothered to stop there before the skips some things will find a new home & help the charity in the process.

Nice. Our local tip used to have a great shop on site, we could buy old doors, rabbit hutches, furniture, cutlery, ornaments, you name it. It was very popular, the ultimate recycling really...then it suddenly closed, I never understood why.

Yes we got a few bits & pieces from there, some very nice furniture. It closed down - or more correctly moved to somewhere else - because they outsourced it, and our tips (sorry that should be recycling centres) are operated by a 3rd party now. The kettering one is up Brunel Close.

Yes, I have a nude man in my garden. Given to me for my birthday. I was at my party in the club, and came home at midnight to find it on my front lawn. I quickly moved it round the back. :oops:
