Troods, you could try advertising for some in your local giveaway paper. Or, if you see a property under refurbishment, maybe pop in and speak to the builders in it and see if they've got some for free, rather than them skipping them. Third, try your local amenity tip! Seriously - the guys in charge select out the good bits and flog 'em off to all kinds of people who visit the tips. (I don't mean the landfill site - I mean where people take their stoves and beds to chuck away!) Or, does your newsagent have a window for 'wanted' ads and you could put a note in there? Finally - honest! - your local Council or Housing Associations might be refurbishing some flats or houses and there could be a set you could have for free or a fiver. Doesn't really matter if they're not terrifically modern, as long as they're serviceable and do the job.

[QUOTE="krizon, post: 2097437, member: 64950"] Troods, you could try advertising for some in your local giveaway paper.
