It was half full of compost and some worms - no idea how many but 2 escaped in the car.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 ?
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.

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
. I do find doing a change over is a much more pleasant experience 3 sheets to the wind

Everything counts, SC.

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!!

Worse than that, Can - they're moving! They'll probably forget where they live.
RE: Freecycle and similar websites - Veggie - 03-10-2022
IN today - a box of 12 cat food sachets (from the house with the high knocker).
RE: Freecycle and similar websites - Veggie - 09-10-2022
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.
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.

Today’s in 6 fruit scones. From the cafe at end of road.
Well only 5 made it home
RE: Freecycle and similar websites - Veggie - 10-10-2022
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.
