    Yesterday I gave a work colleague some books and got another book in return.

    It is one I have been wanting to read for ages.:D

    I gave away lots of toys and childrens clothes mine had grown out of this weekend.

    I don't really get given anything but I am more than happy to give to friends as they give me lifts as I don't drive.

    My cousin gave me a botanic garden spoon rest. I collect this, and she knew I was feeling down, so she saw it and bought it for me! Thrilled.
    I Believe in saving money!!!:T

    Monday: Neighbour took me to and from a minor surgery outpatient appointment.

    Wednesday: Another neighbour dropped me off at the local surgery when I had to go and get my dressings changed and it was piddling down with rain.

    I'm finding that after a lifetime of being a giver, I am now being given to. :)
    I'm not that way reclined
