Hello Hillend G,
Sounds just what I'm looking for, although when I've tried hammer drill on our blocks the outer edges seem to crumble. Maybe I should try a lower speed. But many thanks for the idea and i will try it out, and I let you know when i tried/done it. Could be a while yet, jobs keep piling up.
Many thanks again for the idea and getting in touch so quick.

I wouldn't anchor into these lightweight blocks. They at Ok for construction but their strength lies in them remaining complete.
People never sit gently & kids never stop climbing. you end up with the anchors being pulled out of a larger hole.
Personally, if you have plenty of decking left, why not create a storage bench? The back, sides, front support the seat whilst creating storage for seat cushions or even gardening tools.
Make a bench that is moveable, it will bee more convienient in the lng run!
You will need a diamond bit to drill holes into any type of masonry or block, than use block anchors to pound in.
