Hello Frugal Find People,

I went to post some e bay stuff but got the time wrong, (Post office closed for lunch) so I went for a little walk, saw a carrier bag at a bus stop sat down to have a look and inside were several phone chargers, Nokia Blackberry, Samsung, various USB leads and sundry other such stuff, all of which I shall be selling, some already to the computer shop near me.
Just goes to show that small errors can bring rewards

We found a new blackberry patch on Monday, had a good harvest from there, our own bramble isn't quite there yet.

My dad dropped round all the small potatoes he wont use (his wife only likes jacket potatoes - can you imagine? they buy a bag, pick out the big ones and throw the rest away!!):eek:

Son found an xbox game for £1 in the recycling shop.

I was on the last two pages of "Angels & Demons" by Tuesday, having read it right after "The DaVinci Code" and lamented to Dan (my Dan, not Dan Brown) "Now what will I read on the bus when I've finished this??" then in the charity shop I found "Digital Fortress" and "Deception Point" for £1 each! yay!

Coolpaprika someone (not necessarily well off)could have lost that. My flatmate often walks round with things like this as he no longer has an office after his business went under. I personally would have put some signs up /ads out first...

More gems from the recycling bin.. several nutella and jam jars with lids which I have washed and will give to the lovely lady over the road who makes jams and chutneys along with some I have saved up, a large barrel shaped tupperware type container and a large barrel shaped Italian wafer tin - both of which will be able to hole open packs of couscous, rice, pasta and sunflower seeds to stop my clutzbum of a flatmate tipping them over and losing half the contents every time hes in the kitchen...

Cant believe the things ppl throw away.. there were rugs in there (yes in the recycling) a few plates on stands in a bag (dunno wtflip these are) and an Ikea dishdrainer - sadly too big for our sink..
