    At my old house, someone on Freecycle was giving away "stones" (it was flint!) stating it would be good for a rockery. At that time, I wanted it as an edging in my copse area of garden. Mr "M", being the one who collected it in the initial instance, was definitely *not* keen to transport it to *this* address (such a meany bean! :nonofinger: ). Not an issue here: if I had picked up one piece of flint stone each time I take Ozzy for a walk ... I could have built a bliddy wall!!! :doh:

    Strangely, now I can get it anywhere here, I've gone off the idea of using it :redface: :whistle: :heehee:

        Oh my favourite four-letter "F" word is right there: FREE! :heehee:
        There are some sheets of Perspex in a shared space at the back of where I work ... I'm wondering what I can do with it before I go and ask if I can have it :redface: :heehee:

            @"M" they might be perfect for a cold frame. :)

              Hmm, now that's a good idea! :thumbsup:
              :lunapic 130165696578242 5: I could!! Some are as tall as me but only about a metre wide (I'm wider :heehee: ) but, I think you travelling down to me to collect would far out weight the cost of the raw material :heehee:
