Today I 'ave mostly been finding......a bed, at the side of the road, actually we saw it before but today there was room in the car, and now it's baking our bread.
What was your most unusual find & use for it? |

Today, you mean? Or generally? 
Today - a seed-tray that I have turned in to a chick dust-bath. Generally - a stack of dirty magazines in a hedge when I was fourteen, that a friend and I flogged to the boys at school for twenty pence each. |

We had pram wheels, until Ma discovered that we had taken them from the dump where they chucked the dead calves and they were confiscated ... | ||

Generally, in particular
I have a load of magazines that I was going to recycle, but if you think I could sell them after leaving them to get dirty under a hedge I'll give that a go.

This reminds me - I have been getting the bus to work recently cos my car died, (again, - probably my fault tho'), there's a 'dead' baby buggy round the corner.
Every day, I've been looking at it and thinking, hmmmmm, what can I do with that? Today we went into town and husband noticed it - went 'hmmmmm...' We still have no idea so if anyone has any - let me know (it's not any use as a buggy any more as all buckled). It will still be there for a while because our binmen are still on strike. |

Seriously?  Either that or I can stump up the cash to pay those pirates, then.

Have you noticed more scavengers going through the rubbish? As the piles grow you see some interesting stuff. | ||

(Behemoth - I am not following you around the boards!!)
Not noticed more scavengers yet, although I am taking more of an interest - just in case!! I've also noticed how much rubbish my neighbours seem to have. My next door neighbour has 3 normal rubbish wheely bins full in 2 weeks. |
