what can old CDs be used for, any ideas i've always got lots hanging around but seems such a waste just throwing them oot. Surely they must have some use?

if you know someone who gardens, c.d.'s are useful for tying on string to move in the breeze to scare away birds on precious seedlings.

I watched a programme one night and they decorated a kids bedroom with cd's. Just stuck them all over the walls.:o) Or, i've seen people make clocks from them and selling them on Ebay..

Mother Bear,
was going to say the same thing :D

if you don't know a keen gardener that can use them, the harbour at Scrabster use them on the pier as seagull deterrents so just pop them down there if you are at Thurso side.

I have them all over the house as coasters - works well and they're washable. Put one anywhere you're likely to park a cup. You can even use them on the table at meals, used to be a talking point but now too many people do it so no novelty value any more but look quite nice silver side up.

Take them down to the cd sale that comes up to Thurso/Wick every couple of months they will let you do a trade in for something u fancy. Watch out for their add in the groat.
