I think there might be an old singer in a table machine in the skip down the road...

[cheesecheeseplease]

do I go and rummage? old table legs sticking out and something with a motor attached....

Yes, have a closer inspection. I'm hoping it's a tablemobile, but would be happy for you if it is a sewing machine

Go take a look!

First dibs if it's Val Doonican.

I can't go now am in my Pjs, house has just been sold assuming old person has just gone in to residential care or similar as there was a nurse going in regularly will go first thing and hope the snow holds off that long!

Get up there. Put your coat on over your jamas. It will be long gone by sunrise.

what's a Val doonican? and I doubt it round here not many crafty folk about!

The scrap metal gatherers will grab it.

omg, you have to get it, if it is.

Put your wellies and your coat on.....

ooh i have mils' old singer is it worth something? though it's an early electric

I will go first thing in morning 7 am as soon as sh gone to work he will think I'm a raving loon otherwise!

Did you investigate?

Oh, did you get it? My mum has a fantastic old singer machine. Only sewing machine I have managed not to break

it's still there it is snowing however

My deceased uncles old house has a manual Singer sewing machine with the foot pedal in its own cabinet. Is it worth something, or do people like them for vintage value?

House can't be sold as its interstate, or something like that, so been as there empty since 2007.

Oh. Go and get it. The longer you wait te more chance you'll miss it!

Go! I'm very jealous!

right it's an electric singer in a dark wood table says 99k underneath the badge at the front

Yes go and get it but ask the person who 'owns' the skip first. I used to hoik all sorts of stuff out of skips to sell on eBay. Always aske first though.

I tried cece but the house is empty I shall put a note through the door

I would be tempted to take it now and let them know.

at Tethersend

Just take it - quick, before someone else does -

Yes its good manners to ask, but no one is going to sue/arrest you for taking what is now rubbish to be thrown out & no one else will ask, but will take it
