One sunny Saturday morning on the way to drop off my Avon order, we spotted a heavily pregnant woman struggling to put stuff out on the footpath. We stopped to see if she was ok and of course, had a sticky beak at what she had ;). There was a rather nice tall chest of melamine drawers in very good condition, couldn't pass them up...
So after managing to fit the box for the trampoline in the boot back in June, we were still mystified that a couple of weeks ago an ironing board wouldn't fit so it was no great surprise that of course these drawers also didn't fit. The drawers themselves were tossed in the back seat, the main body of the chest in the boot...but of course we have no rope.
Luckily it's only a few streets away, so the slow drive with the boot lid up was interesting, keeping an eye out for the police ;).
Not so exciting, I know. The next find is what had us all in stitches late one night..
The story so far : We gained a guinea pig hutch thanks to a school friend, Jo. We thought we'd modify it a bit before jumping in and getting the caveys straight away. A pair of wheels down one end for ease of relocation around the yard as they kill the grass, a handle to manoeuvre it around, covering some of the sharp edges on the chicken wire after Jasmine and Pixie have both been using it as an outdoor chaise lounge.
Dean thought this was the perfect opportunity to scavenge some free wheels, maybe off a discarded mower or something.
Late on the weekend we were coming back from a nice nights' barbecue at Redcliffe, we took the 'scenic route' close to home, to have more of a look. Ever the connoisseur of crap collecting, his eagle eyes spotted a 3 wheeler pram. Mostly in great condition if I ever had any use for it, only the front wheel was broken, guess they couldn't be arsed getting a new wheel.
I joked with Georgia when he got out of the car "betcha he can't figure out how to fold the pram up now, you watch LOL"....
So he gets back in the car, we're thinking he's leaving it behind, maybe it wasn't good enough. He's laughing as he tries to talk...He's pulled the pram alongside the car, put the window down, holding onto the handlebars and off we drive!!!!!
OMG we're all literally pissing ourselves laughing, can't breathe, all we can think about is, 'Gee, this would really look funny if anyone was watching' and 'wonder if someone will call the cops, thinking there's a baby in the pram'. It was only a couple of streets away, but I was sure he was gonna lose it on the dumb little traffic-calming-stupid roundabouts, but he did very well...
I only wish the ride had lasted longer!
