Going to have to try this soon - no more wasting time talking about it.

OUT went a book!

I think you got the best of that transaction.

I picked up a Butternut squash and 4 Croissants from the leftovers at the Church.

The Prawn lady has restocked my food store with 4 boxes of "This is not mince", ravioli filled with ricotta, egg noodles, 3 containers of skimmed milk, 2 dozen eggs, 2 tubs of custard, big tomatoes, 2 heads of calabrese, dill and chives. She also gave me some Ecoegg discs that are supposed to keep fruit and veg fresh for longer by absorbing ethylene? We'll see!

OUT tonight will be 2 very old installation disks for Windows XP and Office 97. I'm glad someone can use them. Would you believe that the XP disk cost over £90 when we bought it! That was a lot of money in those days - still is!

In came an IKEA unit with drawers - that I use for storing my seed collection.
OUT went a carrier bag crammed full of magazines - mostly gardening or wildlife.

More FREE food from the Prawn Lady.
Five bags of baby spinach leaves, a dozen free range eggs, 4 pints of milk, Pecorino romano cheese, 6 hardboiled eggs (from the Morries meal deals), pomegranate seeds, avocado x2, coleslaw x 2 and a catering size tin of baked beans (2.62 kgs)!!
OUT goes a bundle of old UK maps. The South Scotland one only had half of Mull on it (SC's half) so not much use really.

No, not Olio, she buys a bag of food from a company called GoPuff and pays about £10/£20 for it. She does this 3 times a week - she has 5 kids and her husband left her so she has lots of mouths to feed on not much money. Most of the food is from Morries with an almost expired use by date and its delivered to her late night. Luckily for me, her kids are picky eaters - she says the only veg they'll eat are peas!. None of them like prawns and they don't seem to like cheese either. She doesn't like food waste and knows that I'll use everything she doesn't want. Suits me fine!!
I forgot to add the Creme Caramel to  the list of stuff she gave me today - just going to eat one or two.
