Eldest has bought a house and is in the process of doing it up (with a lot of help from OH) they took out the old gas fire and left in the front garden and magically it walked overnight. Today the washing machine went out ..Within half an hour a scrapman turned up .........half an hour ,on a sunday , in the snow ......gotta be a record. Just gutted the OH hadn't got round to taking the drum out for me .........

Scrap metal prices are through the roof a the moment Binley, I'm not surprised your scrap disappeared. Times is hard....

Quick work indeed. We always put things out on the garden for a few days to "disappear" before we ring the council to collect.

[binley100]

I'm just surprised at the speed with which it went ........

[stella]

People drive down our road in trucks daily and pick up anything that has been left out

[binley100]

We can leave those charity bags outside the wall and they don't get picked up ..........we're on a main road but there is a large green in front so I suppose they can't be bothered with the walk.....

[mudpies]

Would it work if I left teenagers out do you think?

[veggiechicken]

I've just had to pay John Lewis to take mine away!

[binley100]

Didn't know you had any teenagers VC.......

[zazen999]

You're not getting rid of a cooker are you?

[mudpies]

Wow - way to go John Lewis...I'll give them a call!!!

[binley100]

yup Gas one ..........

[veggiechicken]

Didn't know you had any teenagers VC.......

They weren't mine, they're from next door!

[binley100]

Wonder if John Lewis would take the ones from two doors down ......mind you they're 25 and 21 probably past their sell by ......

[veggiechicken]

Its worth asking - you might get a two for one takeaway deal....
