But did you get the inevitable "while you're here taking the rubble can you just take this rusty wheelbarrow and broken fence panels and landscape my garden to return the favour"? wink

Good luck! You are probably going to get bummed. Look out for the chalk marks on the pavement.

If you're wanting ti as firewood then it'll be fine after a dry out. If you're wanting it for anything else you'll be wasting your time. And she'll send you to a random street a quarter mile away from where she actually lives, then you'll have to DM her and she'll give you a different location to go - typically the other end of their street where she'll peek through the blinds to check you don't look like a wrong-un, then she'll give you her house number. If you look like a wrong-un then you'll get ghosted and will be driving back home without your wood laugh .

If it’s decking, it’s most likely treated and the common view is it’s not fine to burn; lots of nasty stuff in it.

Good news

Got to the postcode (no number) at 9, helped ourselves to 7 relatively decent 3 meter lengths

It feels better quality than the stuff we eyeballed for the project in b and q

Also got a couple of sleeper off cuts - I use these when working on cars and the like as safety supports

Saved ourselves a good chunk of cash

Always a lottery


Next freebie we are looking for is some free pavers.

Nope - that one's gone straight over my head, I'm afraid. What are we looking at?

I think I need a larger G&T, because other than a spelling mistake, I still cannot relate the comment to the words.

Have a couple of G&Ts - it's a rather amusing typo.

Yes, you would have to ignore the autocorrect a few times to try and get it that wrong…surely?

That's not a comment, the bit about foxes is a completely separate post and not relevant.

I think I realised about 1 millisecond before you posted that!
