    Default Sand

    I was in the 99p store earlier and they've got 5kg bags of sand, all different colours for...you guessed it...99p

    Just thought I'd share

    Literally, ''the 99p store''

    I neeeeed more sand, someone 'ahem' left the cover of the sandpit off overnight and the whole thing is a bog now.

    Just out of interest though, what do people do with their used sand?? I haven't the space to bury/dump it in the garden. How to dispose of it....?

    Afraid I put my used sand in the dustbin

    I dig used sand into parts of my allotment where the drainage needs to be improved. But I'd be reluctant to dig in coloured sand until I knew what they coloured it with.

    Our sand table is on the deck so I have been sweeping it between the deckboards thus far, but at this rate the deck will be three feet off the ground by next year

    Might try the bin

    Time Out.. The perfect time for thinking about what you're going to destroy next.
