I like Random ^^^. Big Grin
I've been to church today. Was a bit late but collected a couple of loaves of bread, several packs of bread rolls, pastries, salad bags, carrot and coriander soup mix. They wanted me to take a fleece blanket for the cold - they had a pile of them, brand new, but I didn't as there are more needy people out there than me.
Then I went to collect one of those "get the snow off your car roof" scrapers that may be useful for the GH roof, and a big bag of assorted sachets of condiments - tomato & HP sauce, mayonnaise, salad cream, vinegar, salt & pepper - the sort of thing you receive with a takeaway (I think as I haven't had one for years). Most of them (over 30) were HP brown sauce!

OUT went 2 roasting tins (no good to me without an oven) and a salt and pepper set shaped like rabbits that was in a random box recently.

IN came a box of books and more sourdough - two small loaves, and olive ciabatta and 6 assorted, very sticky, pastries.

OUT went - wait for it - a raised toilet seat that was used when my Mum came to stay here. Keep something long enough and someone will need it - this time it was for a Nan awaiting a hip op.

IN - a bag of random junk (mostly). All I knew there'd be were 3 bottles of Harpic disinfectant and some mugs. There were 2 cast iron frying pans, 6 mugs, a box of Zylkene tables for dogs (to calm them down before stressful events- like fireworks), a box of lens cleaner wipes, some jewellers' loupes, 5 wooden objects - bowls, candlesticks, a wild food cookery book (that I already have), and a tub of money. Big Grin

OUT went 6 part used rolls of Christmas wrapping paper for a charity gift wrap at a local school and a box of teabags and the Haynes Guide to Pensioners to my brother. Wink.

IN came a very nice Dendrobium orchid. I think that when orchids stop flowering people lose interest in them and give them away. Their loss, my gain. Big Grin

IN came a nice little Canon camera that I've been playing with all evening. Its about 12 years old but seems to do everything I'm capable of - point and press.
OUT went the first pack of calming tablets for dogs. I have takers for 8 packs and I'll keep the last pack just in case my dogs decide they're scared of fireworks .
