 :stupid:  I found a similar one someone had ditched into a skip!!!!!! :o

Cleaned up lovely in thirty minutes and I sold it on for £25 8-) Was a few years ago though. Wonderful things you can find that people just throw out.

The flooring shop at the end of my street tosses a skipload of stuff every two or three years. I have done a mates room with rescued planks of flooring from it. OK the bits dont match but its a spare room used for storage - so who cares what it looks like? Also did his separate toilet and bathroom free.
