Today gave away some baby clothes. As much as I'm ready to get some space back, I still feel sad about some of the baby stuff going. Total sap.

Not a sap at all DJ, only natural. I still have a few baby things in the loft.......and the lad is 36!  I still get a warm feeling when I come across them, even though he was a blighter of a baby.

IN this week - some plastic bell cloches, a gardening apron (I'll never wear it but I couldn't resist the fabric - images of seed packets. Going to convert it into some sort hanging storage.
OUT went a bag of paperbacks - I'm picking up some more tomorrow. Big Grin

IN recently came 40+ sachets of cat food (the dogs can't read that its meant for cats!).
Also a number of plastic storage boxes - to help me get organised!!
IN Today came 3 bags of Wool Cool insulation sheets as used in food deliveries like Hello Fresh, apparently. I'm planning on using it as mulch as slugs are supposed to dislike walking on it.
OUT went another bag of books and some ice lolly moulds.

Had a message today from someone on the local freebie group asking whether I'd like some greengrocery stuff. I've had dried foods from her before but this is the first lots of fresh food. Of course, I accepted the offer. Big Grin
I came home with 6 avocadoes, 3 bags of apples, spinach, 3 punnets of tomatoes, bags of cut herbs - basil, dill, parsley. sweet potatoes and an enormous celeriac! Also a box of apple tarts, a wedge of cheese with truffles and 2 boxes of chocolate mints.
Most of the veg were from Morrisons with a use by date of today.
Apparently it was delivered by a company called "Go Puff", I'm sure she said it was £5 a bag. I must find out more.

OUT went the Air fryer that I acquired a while back. I haven't used it and it takes up too much counter space to sit around, idly. Its being picked up tomorrow. 27 people asked for it!

A man arrived today with a bag of BBQ pork ribs and a bag of frozen scallops. Bob knows him quite well, I’ve only met him twice very briefly, I think. But that was a very welcome surprise.
Builder that would like to go play in the garden.
