Post by: crowndale on November 08, 2007, 07:54: I have a pile of pallets in my front drive waiting to become a fence at my new lottie (goes dreamy eyed and sighs in contentment :wink: ). But there aren't enough, so I shall be hunting some more down very soon. went to a bonfire the other night nearly had a dizzy fit when I realised they were burning pallets, what a waste! But daughter went to ask them and they were all damaged. What a good daughter to go and ask just to reasure her insane mother even though she thinks collecting pallets is a very strange hobby, bordering on insanity! And I hadn't even asked her to ask, must have done something right with this child!

Thats funny my dds do the same they point out skips to me while we're driving - a hunting instinct seems to come out in them when they know there's stuff out there for free that they can bring home to the nest/den/cave. Bless.

Post by: seadart on November 11, 2007, 14:52: On my travels around the borough I just happend to pass a supermarket loading bay and near to the skip was a 6ft high display staging it was used to display boxes of bulbs.

So a quick word with the fork-lift driver and it was on my roof bars quicker than you could say "Do you want to swap some home brew for that?"

Swmbo was overjoyed!
