Also a load of CDs - most of which are not my sort of music, but I'll regift those.
OUT went some books and a container of Hotbin leachate for the man who gave me the containers a couple of days ago.
I loved my original wormery until it sprung a leak ...I would add another to my xmas list but that is getting so long Im embarrassed ?Big Grin
Don’t know if today’s freebies count. Grapes, a small amount of a tub of quality street and 4 glasses worth of a box of white wine. They my not count because we finished them at tea break. So none of it actually made it home  Big Grin . I do find doing a change over is a much more pleasant experience 3 sheets to the wind  Wink .
Everything counts, SC. Big Grin
IN came a small microwave as one of the ones I picked up a few weeks ago has a lot of condensation inside and some rust. Had to go to a block of flats for this one. Pressed the outside speaker phone thing and the girl said "Come in, we're on the top floor". My heart sank - it was a 4 storey block and the thought of carrying a microwave down 4 flights of stairs was not enticing. As I started to go up the first flight, I heard a voice behind me - "Sorry" she said" We're on the ground floor, not the top".
You think I'm confused!!

I can just picture them coming home drunk and climbing all the way to the top floor and then remembering, Oh no !, we live on the ground floor Duhh  Tongue
Worse than that, Can - they're moving! They'll probably forget where they live.
IN today - a box of 12 cat food sachets (from the house with the high knocker).
I've forgotten what I've collected/disposed of this week,
Yesterday, there was some OLIO food including a King prawn curry for dinner tonight, bagels and bread, chicken and mushroom meal and 2 bags of "Swoodles". I thought they were fancy noodles but, they're made from Swede.!! Haven't tried them yet.Wink
Today, IN came 2 more hamster cages, a baby gate and an animal pen with clear plastic sides that can be clipped together in all sorts of shapes. I'm thinking of using it as an open topped cloche or carrot bed Don't think it would withstand the wind for long so may have to attach it to something - maybe the courgette bed?
OUT goes a plastic washing up liquid container and some shampoo bottles to the Zero Waste shop which is being visited by 60 school children tomorrow and they wanted empty containers for the kids to practice refilling!! Its only a shall shop as well - sounds like chaos. Big Grin
Today’s in 6 fruit scones. From the cafe at end of road.
Well only 5 made it home  Big Grin
Today's INs are 5 sourdough loaves, 2 white sliced loaves and a bag of hand and body lotions.
OUT goes a big bag of suspension files that hang inside a filing cabinet for a lady who needs to organise her school's music.......and 2 sourdough loaves and a couple of steam railway books to my brother.
