    Hi Jungle Jane, yes we did, I bought 20 for £60 delivered , the guy sorted out some nice ones for me . Hubby then cut them up and nailed them together, I painted them , then I used an old memory foam matress topper that I 'd had for years in the cupboard -couldn't use it as it made you too hot ! I cut that up and went to charity shops and bought some kingsize quilt covers - used that to cover them. I also bought the pillows from either bootmarkets or charity shops- but only ever spending £1, and the back part is made from old exercise mate, from charity shops. It did cost me a new sewing machine tho, as mine broke halfway thru !!! LOL

      JJ, Allan, I have a rotary washing line, when it's not in use it's stored in my shed. :)

          yeah I have an apple tree that grows an abundance of apples and I barely even look at the thing. I didn't even get 1 apple off it last year though, probably coz of the early heatwave we had in march.
