Getting a pool! :D

Its only a 12 ft thing and aint that deep but its gonna be a godsend for cooling off in.

Only £100 and comes with a filter and heater.

My pool

Anyone else got this pool? Is the plug on the bottom able to clip onto a hosepipe?

Get it full quick if theres any danger of a hosepipe ban in your area as once there is it will be illegal to fill it up

Wow a rolleyes, for me? Your too kind

OP: My appolgies a drought order will stop you filling it not a hose pipe ban, these are coming into effect in certain areas including mine, less likely in yours but keep an eye open

just in case.

My mate has just got the same one, but he got it from somewhere else and he didnt get a heater with it.

Its pretty big you could easily put a lilo and chill out.

Heh, the minute that 'two jags' back garden starts to get a bit parched we'll have a fat pipe running up the M1 to blag all your water.
