Perhaps its a bit wasteful but we had some left over reclaimed pine floorboards, they were pretty tatty and I couldn't think where we might want to use them, so I knocked up a box to store our welly boots and old trainers in. Without thinking about how much the materials must have cost us i'm quite pleased with my tatty beat up box.

On another note we had our treatment plant emptied this week. I can confirm that it doesn't like nappy liners. In fact other than the obvious only toilet paper should be flushed down the loo. The pooper scooper man was not happy to have his hose blocked by Jake's nappies.
After emptying the tank we had to fill it back up with water pretty quickly to stop the weight of the ground surrounding the tank from crushing it. A minor victory for our frugal ways is that we were able to do this using a 12v leisure battery and a pump taking water from the harvesting system. It was quite a bit of water so we can stick two fingers up in the direction of south west water who meter our mains supply.
