what is lithium anyway?

we've been swapping chairs, one is going to good home or back to shop for recycling rather than upcycling so not so relevant! All i can think of apart from saving old jumpers to make a blanket out of, not that need it. I still got to paint pebbles for mates grave, been too much going on.

what's that old song, busy going nowhere, working the whole day thru
trying to find lots of things not to do?
bet it's on you tube somewhere lol!

here it is, think bing crosby in there somewhere, never knew was part of a musical etc.. just something back in the memory banks🙂

cass905 Just discovered this thread. Very keen on recycling & upcycling. Recently learned that silver paper/foil had to be the size of a tennis ball to be recognised by recycling machines otherwise wasted! Looking forward to further posts.

I have anawful lot of plastic bottles saved so I've decided to make a recycling bin from them

Plus lots more different items to come over summer

Here are a couple of ideas on how to up cycle your old tin cans / toilet roll holders or if your like me and have lots sellotape the inner circle cardboard part left from Xmas as you used up the tape you can also glue these together to make a tower then wrap or colour to jazz it up

Here's a pic to give you some ideas

Hi @clinteastwood43 with a minor edit. It seems the upcycling thread is well stuck in the system and is resisting all our attempts to dislodge it for now. So, as an interim solution, I will sticky this post (and not the "Recycling with Cass" one) in place of the original one, until we manage to resolve the issue.

Really sorry for all the inconvenience and thank you for your patience with this.

cass905

@juan_p yes sticky this one please I have couple of reserve posts as I'm going to upload pictures in those tomorrow! I once said to you " you have a lot to live up to when you took over from Vincent" even though you broke my thread (which you best fix or else 😉 ) I still think your da best 🙂

Hiya guys.

Well i have a little coffee table beside my chair that badly needed a drawer to put my glasses pen and some other stuff i need at close hand.

Well after eating all my tin of biscuits that i had for christmas i realised the base ot the tin was the exact size of the underside of my table. so i made a couple of slides and stops and made this.

Now all my things are close to hand and dont keep losing my glasses and other stuff

All the best Bob

@cass905 So glad you decided to stay with us.I can totally understand your frustrations and having your thread broken really put the tin hat on it all. Let's hope at some point GG can fix your old thread and someone can solve your other issues as it's been ages hasn't it ?

I'll edit the OP in my thread to show this new address and post a new one as well.

@juan_p If it hasn't already done is it possible to at least lock the old thread so it doesn't keep getting new replies? and maybe add a message to the OP to point people to this one. The last time I checked it the old thread was still open for posts.
