Guess what I'm going to do with old videos :)

Grrr, It wont let me make an account on freecycle

I. Hang old cd's all around your garden but connect vhs tape to each one, lead the tapes into your bedroom through the window and label each ones destination, ie: Apple tree 1, or pea patch etc. in the early mornings you can have great fun pulling different tapes to shake the cd and move the birds from A to B.When the birds move to B you just find the relevant tape and move them on once more. Better still a used drinks can with a pebble in it will make a good noise too.

2. Regarding your idea of seed storage boxes, in many cases you wont need to turn the label round, just maybe ammend the film name with a felt tip pen.

For instance:

sunflower seeds could go in the box "From Russian Giant with love"
Or
Warhorseraddish
Okra the whale
Rosemary's baby
Peeping tomato
Four weddings and a Fennel
Die Chard

Ect..

Guess what I got today? (the thread might give it away)
Usually 20p but they were reduced to 10 for a £1 in the charity shop.

[veggiechicken]

How many £s worth did you buy NG?

[Guest]

Just £3, I left a few on the shelf .
Why, have you run out VC?

[veggiechicken]

Not quite, but when I see some more going cheap, I shall be restocking - ready for the next seed order

[skeggijon]

So does this mean your video making days are over VC?

[veggiechicken]

'Fraid so, Skeggi. Once they got rid of betamax
There are 100 videos on offer on Freecycle at the moment. I'm trying really hard not to ask for them. How do you think they'd react if I said I only want the boxes, not the contents?
