I still disagree, this year so far I have got a Wendy house, kids slide, picnic table and a Dualit toaster that just needs a new element all without any great degree of hassle some stuff from a wanted add and other stuff from peoples offered adds.
Just waiting to see if I can got and collect some top soil for the veg plot.
Molegrips, off course everything gets binned in the end but many things can live a much longer more usefull life. I try my hardest to always buy second hand either freecycle, ebay, classified its a little bit of work but it makes my small wage go much further.
