  • I had just pulled out from a multi storey carpark which has a well known gym at the side - and to my amazement the 3 big rubbish bins were full to overflowing with purple foam mats that the gym uses during exercise classes - pulled up across the road (with my hazards on) and 5 mats deposited themselves into the boot of my car - these will be used to place the gym equipment on - in my garage. I can't believe the things I find - now that I am actually looking.

    Our bed broke a week before xmas ,
    The matress is only a year old , so we have placed the matress on the floor until we get a new bed.
    But the other day a friend of mine said she was getting a new bed and how they are going to throw out their old one, and how there is nothing wrong with it but they just fancied a change.

    So guess whos collecting it this saturday :D
    Kindness costs nothing :)
  • Next door neighbour was having a clear out and gave me a box of stuff, so I have kept a smart bag, which will do for shopping, 2 pairs of gloves, some toiletries (which will go in my already large stash) and the rest of the stuff which is no use to me or my family, will go to a charity shop on my next visit to town. So lots of happy people!!
