  • I gave away my 32" CRT on Freecycle when I got an LCD and I had tons of requests - picked a Nigerian bloke and he turned up for it with the whole family! I ended up holding the baby (literally) and watching 2 toddlers while him and his wife and 2 older kids tried to fit it in the car. He emailed me twice afterwards to say it had a 'place of pride' in his home! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Evening all.

    My binoculars arrived today too :):):) - rather fantastic they are too! Took a pic for the thread in IWIWIW so when I get on the PC later (on lappy at mo) I'll get them off my phone and post. So it's been a good day but now I'm not waiting for any prizes so I need to win more!! :)

    My two meetings this avo were fine, and both lasted just under an hour so I could finish on time. Badminton was good although OH seems to have found some skill from somewhere and beat me 3 games to 2. Oh well, it's good exercise and I enjoy playing! Sausages and mash are cooking away - gonna have fresh brocolli and onion gravy too. :):) Oh, oven's beeping, must go!
    Life is all about the journey.
