2025 - Freecycle and similar Free stuff

IN today 3 tins of meatballs in gravy (Ted will like these!), a tin of rice pudding, Pakora mix, a Salt Pig and a 31 Day Mindfulness Challenge! I may share this with you
OUT went some baskets and pots.

A Salt Pig????

Its a pottery container for salt, for cooking. I already have one but it needs to be emptied and cleaned - so I thought I'd collect another one.

Our local Post Office is in the Spar shop and, with a parcel to be sent, it was a good time to have one of their TGTW offers for £3.33.
Excellent value - 3 boxes of fresh meat (Chinese pork steaks x 2 and Gammon steaks) All within their use by date (today or tomorrow) and on offer at £9 for 3. Plus 2 hotdogs in rolls, crabsticks with dip and 2 kilos of Welsh grown Maris PIper potatoes.
Bargain.
Also, with TGTW, you get a £5 credit after you've bought 9 TGTW offers - so this lot was actually FREE.

Did a swap with a friend who's just had a knee replacement. Took her a book, magazines, toiletries, and unwanted food stuff. (She collects for Ukraine and homeless charities). '
She gave me 8 cakes, including chocolate fudge, iced lemon, chocolate swiss roll, almond fingers and jaffa cakes. Also a pot of her husband's homemede jam - he loves making jam!!
We had a long chat, especially about her knee! Hope I wasn't supposed to sound sympathetic because I told her it looked like a Cornish pastie - with a line of puckered stitches over the knee.

Cornish pastie, how true.
