Fantastic garden storage.....

**SimplyLucy** · 07-05-2008, 12:39 PM

I found this wonderful bench in B and Q yesterday......I so need to have 1...

The storage space inside is HUGE and I love the idea of when I "think" there is enough toys out I can sit on it and the children can't get anymore out!

That looks great I reckon I could be tempted to buy one of those even if they dont let me become a childminder

That's a great idea.

I'm very tempted now too - got to stop coming on here as I end up spending all my money plus I don't get any paperwork done!

Caza - just saw your message! I'm sure you will be fine to be a childminder - don't worry!

**ma7ie** · 07-05-2008, 12:46 PM

It's something I'm thinking about getting. Is it lockable though?

**SimplyLucy** · 07-05-2008, 12:48 PM

I don't think it was lockable, but no one can access my garden unless they go though the house or garage. Guess that could be a problem if your garden has easy access.

Might be a way of fixing a lock to it yourself............

I hope so but I'm sure you know what its like just thinking you're going to be one of the few people who they turn down!

I bought something similar from B&Q last year ... it leaked during the winter and the locking mechanism broke within a few days...

Not sure if it was just cheap plastic, but I was very disappointed.

Sorry

I have a similar one although it isn't a bench nor lockable

And yes I sat on it yesterday to stop them going in it

I saw the same one in Homebase at the weekend but it was dearer than that price. Hubby said I couldnt have it

Enjoy yours.

**breezy** · 07-05-2008, 04:50 PM

looks good, and if all else fails, you could fit a small child in it

If you packed them carefully I'm sre you'd get 3 in!

**Jinx** · 07-05-2008, 07:19 PM

Ok, so stop it now PLEASE......

Pretty much everyday I come on here and someone has suggested something new that I just HAVE TO HAVE!!!!

I've got to get a grip and get some self control!

Tell me about it, I've bought tubtrugs, tuffspot, bus, and a trampoline since I joined this site!

I'm about to sit down and do Aprils accounts, I keep putting it off cause I'm a little scared!

**jaja** · 07-05-2008, 08:18 PM
