Another OLIO IN this morning - these are leftovers from yesterday's collections. I'm trying to let people know that I'm happy to collect all the leftovers from the night before (usually veg/fruit and bread). They're not allowed to give away anything that past its "Use By" date unless its for animals (like dogs and chickens 
). Veg/fruit/bread are usually Best Before so they can be given away any day.
IN came 2 bags of mixed veg (sprouts, broc, carrots), spinach, rocket, a box of mini sausage rolls, and, from the freezer, a giant pizza and 4 boxes of horses' doofers - like hamhock and cheese muffins, prawn roses, truffle and cheese summat. All very fancy combinations that will probably taste of very little but look good on a platter while you sip your aperitif.
I knew this OLIO lady had twin boys aged about 5/6 but today a 3rd one appeared - all identical - and all bringing me a toy to admire! Bet they'll be a handful on the 25th!
Then I went to see a lady with a horse and a collapsed bathroom ceiling - there's no connection between these two items! She's having a clearout prior to moving and this collection was unwanted toiletries that she'd been given in previous years - mostly unopened in their original packaging - gifts from her mother in law! She said " Look at me - do I look like a Strawberry Bubble Bath sort of girl" and I had to agree, she didn't - but neither do I. A lot of the stuff will be an OUT after Christmas.
