Just an OUT today - a small picture frame to a nursery school for the children to frame something for Chinese New Year. I only had one suitable frame - others have given some so the children won't be squabbling over mine.

IN came some cupboard clear-outs - 2 tins of tuna, tins of red beans, pears, fruit cocktail, rice and noodles, crispbread, bake it yourself baguettes, sweet chilli sauce, barbeque sauce, sachets of various cooking sauces, snack bags, drinking chocolate, marmalade, jams, blackcurrant liquorice and more. Most of it is past its best before date but I don't worry about such things.
I've offered some of it on the Freebie site - hoping that someone likes Blackcurrant Liquorice. Big Grin

INs today include an almost full litre of Sunflower Oil, Some gardening books, gift cards of Welsh scenes, with envelopes. a pretty little glass vase or is it a candlestick and a slate plaque (see photo). All except the oil came from the same donor.
Next up a bag of sourdough bread - Take a bag, any bag!. I've never seen so much bread, far more than I could squeeze into the freezer, so I gave 3 to my brother and 5 to my neighbour. That left me with 5 loaves  which I managed to find room for. 
I also collected 3 wooden wine boxes - that fit one bottle and look like the old pencil boxes we used to take to school with a sliding lid. One has become home to a selection of herb tea bags. The others may be for seed packets .......or pencils. Big Grin

OUT went an old house phone for a school class.

Today we hit a little bit of a jackpot.
Some friends are selling up and leaving the island and we could have any of the furniture.
So we pick up bedside tables for our room & spare room. A table top fridge, and a washing machine. Not got them yesterday which is good. Means we don’t need to find a home for them.

Just an OUT today - a bag of unwanted toiletries that I've been given. Anyone want some glitter shower gel? That was the only thing nobody wanted. Big Grin
