When every I go up our tip I'm always amazed by the things people are putting in the skips up there - when we went up this weekend to dump our rubbish from digging the garden - who put's nice short wooden posts round a flower bed and then concretes them in so that when they all rot you have to dig out the entire bed to get all the concrete out to replace them! Anyway moving on - this generated loads of rubbish so went up the tip to dump it - our tip men will try and retrieve the good stuff from the skips and sell it - there's always loads of golf clubs (some of them good quality expensive ones according to the OH who knows a bit about these things), this week there was loads of hand made pottery that looked very similar to the type of thing my mum pays a fortune for, a 6ft pine dresser with really nice, intact glass doors on the top (on it's way to our kitchen now - I've been looking for one of those for ages, cost me a tenner!), videos, books, chairs all sorts. And that's without the electrical goods that they can't sell!
