A dear friend gave me this Ceramic Denim Planter Boot as a thank you for looking after her Newfoundland for 3 weeks.To add to the other 'really useful' gifts she gives us regularly Rolling Eyes

As attractive to some it may be,neither I nor wee g wish to see it adorning any part of our respective homes so if anyone (a) likes it and (b)wants it, let me know by PM and I will gladly post it free of charge to them(UK/Europe Only)International at cost. Pictures below.

Alternatively it will go to the charity shop

sorry I just had to laugh at the warning on the box 'for decoration use only' Laughing

perhaps they thought someone would buy 2 and wear them!

(ps I hope your friend doesn't come on the forum!)

Ooops!

You could use the broken bits as crocks in the bottom of another, more suitable planter. Wink

If you're intending to "conker" with the laces, make sure you've got your goggles and gloves on. Don't want Health and Safety chasing you like they did to those kids last(?) year!!

yes I'm all prepared I have my full face welding mask and welding gauntlets and kevlar body armour just in case I might get caught by highly dangerous conker shrapnel and I've taped off a 100metre exclusion zone around the playing area Laughing

take the fun out of everthing now dont they Laughing

I probably wouldnt be allowed to smash the ornament anyway as I dont have an approved waste disposal site licence. Confused
