A nursery near our home was closing and getting rid of some stuff. I took some, and rescued a few things out of the skip. I don't go rummaging in bins, but can see the appeal. I try to get everything second hand.

I wrote a piece that might interest you about our grumpy neighbour recently. I tried to take an old carpet he was throwing out and he wouldn't let me have it for free. Some people are so miserable!
