If you were local to me, you could have some plastic plant pots!

I would feel terrible asking for something with so much value! The things I am looking for are old bits of wood, wooden pallets or used plant pots.

For the plant pots that aren't o show i chop 2ltr milk bottles in half and push holes in the bottom.

I hope this come doesn't come across as being cheeky but i've been asking for something on my Freecycle and up to now haven't been offered one. So i wonder can i take this opportunity to ask you all could you watch out.
It's for my poor old Granny, she isn't able to get on and off buses these days and is almost a prisoner in her own house. What she's after is a Mercedes-Benz C63 Amg Coupe, preferably in black and fully taxed.

Hang on, I'll see if I've got one in my garage. If so I'll bring it round to Gran tomorrow, OK. Only thing is I might have to ask her to spare me the bus fare home.:rotfl:

That would be perfect except I don't drink normal milk, however just gave me an idea to use drink bottles. Would be perfect inside my little greenhouse Thanks

Darn it, if only you had posted earlier, I ended up taking ours to landfill. The stone chip might have put her off though

I have just joined freecycle 5 minutes ago after reading this thread and logged on for the first time to find a poor soul desperate for a water heater for his outdoor swimming pool. I suppose if you don't ask you don't get!

Now that they've had a water meter fitted you'll get someone asking for free water to fill the pool.

I've got one spare, but as it's in excellent condition I'm going to keep it until I see a more specific request..... :rotfl:
