    Well, sort of, anyway - the money I bribe them with goes into their ski fund........

    Well done on stuff today my head is swimming with the way you have all been busy. Just nipping to Hypno's for a quick brew!

    In haste as the freecyclers are arriving from 9.30 and I need to move my car to let them get close to the garden (several taking logs!). Will be getting rid of an old door, an old hoover and a pile of logs today. Weather not good for the garden :( so may have to concentrate on the house -though the neighbours may get a lynch party together if we don't do something with our garden soon! - they are all retired and have pristine gardens - ours has been "remodelled" as a lurcher race track/digging pit - dog playground - jungle!

    Will update later think someone might be here!

    Well that is the door gone - to a very nice young couple (hark at her - old woman!) who sound like they will make much better use of it than me (we kept it when we remodelled the kitchen "just in case" - yeah right! :rolleyes:). I like freecycle. I know I might have been able to sell it for a few quid but for things like that I feel much more comfortable freecycling - and it helps someone else without costing me anything!

    Still waiting for the log people to arrive.....
