    I don't know if this is of any use to anyone but they have the metal housekeeper boxes on www.halfcost.co.uk & also some metal collanders. in blue, pink or yellow. They are the linda Barker items if you search that there are a few other things that come up too. I fell in love with the housekeeper tubs but couldn't find them anywhere at a reasonable price. they are only £6.99 on there if that helps.

    What a few days I have had!! not been here due to 8 yr old DD breaking her collar bone at school and being left like it all day too (5 hours with no call home or anything) so I was fuming :mad: we knew something was wrong when we picked her up from after school club when we finished work so took her to hospital, she has been at home since.

    Anyway before I get told off for being off topic..............................

    Today I picked up my semi circular Lloyd Loom Ottoman that I got from Freecycle.

    I was expecting one of these LloydLoom1.jpg

    Imagine my surprise when she opened the door and thrust this at me LloydLoom2.jpg

    Mine is in white though, I was dead chuffed :) this one is on Ebay currently at £17 with 24 hrs still to go!

    Mine was free :T :T

    Just need to recover the top and respray and it will be as good as new! I will post pics of my real one some time next week!

    Just trawled back through the posts, I am soooo glad to see this thread still thriving and want to say thank you to you all for making it a huge success!
