    I'm still thinking what to do with my stainless steel inner drum from my washer at the moment it's hiding from the cheeky scrap men behind the greenhouse, Bob's none too keen for me to use it but I'm hanging on to it!;) Hel.xxx.

    ah if only I'd found this last week before the guys at the end of the road did me athe favour of cleaning out my gutters!

    I had a plant - who knows where it came from or what it was! but it was growing really well inmy guttering! The guy next door said they had a hell of a job getting it out!! but they did, wish I had a pick - might have been in with a chance lol
