Very pleased with today's IN. A combi microwave with grill and oven. Looks like new. Its the right size to replace the one I used to have - that gave up the ghost last year. I have 2 microwaves in the kitchen - its very useful being able to heat two different things at once (when you don't have a stove/cooker). I'll give away the spare microwave in the garage and move one from the kitchen into the garage as the new spare. I really don't need 4 microwaves. Big Grin
Also IN - 2 sourdough loaves, a fruit loaf, an Olive ciabatta, 2 doughnuts and 2 pastry things. That's this weeks bread supply sorted.

EDIT Just had a bag of Dates delivered! (Not a calendar or a diary but edible dates. Big Grin)

No INs today but OUT went a Microwave for staff at a local school. They only have one microwave and there's a queue to use it in their short lunch breaks. Now they'll be queuing to use 2 micros. Big Grin

IN today - a large box of assorted books - including Travel guides to Wales written in German. There's a German Dictionary too - if I need to translate them. About half the books will be reoffered and I'll read the remainder.
Also IN a box of kitchen cupboard clearout - including dried figs and prunes, chopped nuts, cornflour, cocoa and some Sachets of (roughly translated) gelatine & whipped cream stiffener? (these are also German).
The donor is ,moving back to Germany on Friday - so I'm helping clear her cupboards. Big Grin
