The best things in life are free

Today I picked up a swing set, a tramp & a few other small kids toys, ALL FOR FREE. I am scab LOL. My half sister has moved & left behind a heap of her kids things as she claims they are no longer interested in these things. So I took the chance to get some great backyard play equipment for my kids. Normally I would expect to pay $200 for the swing set, I have no idea how much a tramp goes for these days. Its a small one, perfect for my 4 & 2 yr old boys to play on. There was also a battery charged motorbike thing, which I already regret taking as the boys fight over it & wont give it a chance to charge up fully before taking it off the charger. The best thing about not paying for it, is if they continue to fight over it I will have no problems chucking it in the bin!

Some of my fondest memorys are playing in the backyard on the swings & tramp. I remember how me & my older sister Elizabeth would stand the tramp up on its side & run at it so that when it landed back on its legs we would bounce on the mat. Can't do that with this little one but still. Evan thinks its fantastic.
I remember the swing we had, it was just a single one, not like this set which has a swing, a seasore & a hanging bar thing, Oh & one of those double sided chair thingys. Anyway the one we had growing up was just a single swing & I can remember we would swing on it so high it would make the legs jump from the ground.

I am a scammer, not that I scammed these things from my sister. She knows I took them, I even offered to give them back once she has moved in to her new place but she doesn't want them. But I will go out of my way to get something for free or cheaper if the opportunity presesnts itself.
