Freecycle

Recently we've been camping in a tent my Mum got for us. It's a cheap way of having a holiday and quite a lot of fun with the kids, except when they need a piss first thing in the morning or during the night and we've got to tramp throught the rain to the toliet blocks.

Someone posted a porta-potty on Freecycle, we got in touch and arranged to pick it up. Wow, this is generous, we're going to get a free camping toilet. No more 4am trips to the toliet blocks. Yippee!

Last night we drove up there and met the guy outside the scout hall, he had the porta-loo in his car. He was a scout master and this loo was surplus to requirements, they'd only found it during a clear out of the storage hut and it had probably been there for 8 years or so.

We're having quite a chat with him about camping trips and stuff when he hands the loo to my wife. As she takes it, it shifts a little and from within we hear a 'SLOSH'. Hmmm, nice, 8 year-old fermented scout's piss. Can't wait to clear that out.

Been a long time

I haven't posted for a while, I've wanted to but there always seemed to be something else to do. Nothing I had to say seemed worth the bother of logging in and noting it down. I felt a little guilty that I wasn't keeping things up to date but not enough to make the effort. Now I've decided to try a bit harder.

This year's OU course is done, bar the exam, and my wife is about to undergo her gall bladder surgery so things should be a little easier. Maybe I'll keep this blog more up to date, who knows?
