            Asking my neighbours for their loo and kitchen roll tubes.

            Forgot to say then the same neighbours asked if I wanted their recycling boxes now we've gone over to bins.

                              I have developed a dreadful skip dipping habit. Last week I had 2 hangling baskets, a van full of wood, a pair of welly shoes IN MY SIZE!, half a roll of horticultural fleece, some concrete gravel, a camping stool, a bucket, some branches for the chicken run...think that is the lot! For now!
