Yeah guys, if you ever get the chance, get yourselves on the Waverley, last sea going , paddle steamer, in the world i think ( don't quote me on this tho lol) Honestly tho , great day out , all the workings of the ship are kept immaculate, and you get to see the paddles in action in the engine room.
Last one ever??? Awww that's sad The world changes so fast. My dad was showing me a book last weekend about where he grew up in brum. In the back to back to houses with the outdoor loo's. The bollard outside the pub and sweet shop that he used to sit on as a little kid is still there! So is the pub! Love the idea of all the horse and carts delivering the coal and milk and bread. Would love to live in that era for a day Bet it was hell In reality though I like my comforts
I've seen her at Greenock & sometimes she use to call into Weymouth,but I haven't seen her for a couple of years. I'm showing my age, but I can remember travelling from Tower pier to Southend on the Daffodil & on the Medway Queen from Rochester to Chatham. Fookie nell, I'm 68 this year.
You should watch the 2nd Exotic Marigold Hotel film Malkie it will make you feel like a spring chicken!!! I'm watching it right now. Brilliant cast, very funny.
Good luck with your projects MP , always good to see furniture getting a new lease of life . Especially when its well built and good quality. Hope you make a few quid, and can eventually turn it into a business for yourself. Check out www.salvagesister.co.uk , might be quite helpful for you. Cheers
Thank you Gatt. I looked at that site. She was on telly clever woman. Don't think I will be making the dizzy heights of channel 4 but if I can make even a teeny tiny profit I will be happy as a pig in muck. Its all spend spend spend at the mo! Which isn't really the idea but Rome weren't built in a day I suppose
Auction day!!! Yippee!!! Last time I spent £13.50 and I got two little wooden tables, a wooden dumb waiter trolley and an old pub dartboard holder/scoreboard complete with dartboard And from my charity shop I spent £15 and got a 3 tier wooden plant stand, two wooden jewellery boxes and a little key box going to tour the recycling site up the road next week Have a good day all
You Gemini? Bad as me, I love a good auction, & skips can't resist having a look/rumage in one, if I'm driving past one. Raided a skip on holiday about 6 years ago in Scotland, filled the boot to overflowing with new MK,Crabtree fittings, loads of Appleby boxes, etc,etc, old spark had died & his son just skipped everything. Our recycling site won't let you have anything from them. Again Freecycle, Freegle is a good source of furniture, also look at shops that are refitting, being cleared, you can get some good fines.
I bought 15 items tables mostly, a few plant stands and a gorgeous mirror and stand! Cost me nearly £95 all together but bargain for what I've got. Some good solid heavy pieces. Had to do two trips to get it all home. I'm exhausted! A good days work just got to make it all over now my dining room looks like a junk shop. And my jigsaw turned up ten minutes after I got home result! Not sure where my stencils from eBay have got to though My recycling centre doesn't give it away either Kiab you have to buy it off them. There is a little shop there.
A little shop! Nothing like here, it's a crime what gets skipped,I willingly paid a few quid for some of the items, if the money went to a good cause like the baby care unit at local hospital or similar.
Our local recycling center sell all the electrical good to one firm and any other good stuff is picked up by an auction house from Birmingham.
Yeah! Meanies . Surely the point of recycle is to recycle . Silly billys . I might just put an advert in my front garden. Please place all unwanted items here . Its only a little garden though and I would probably end up with 20 stained mattresses ewwww what an image
