Two lovely friends gave me a dozen whopping great eggs from their hens. Had one for my lunch, it was a beautiful rich yellow and tasted so creamy, it was delicious
My DNeighbour gave me a much-appreciated cuppa
My little muttley, who's quite poorly atm, gave me a paw and a lovely cuddle as if to say 'thank you for looking after me'0 -
OH has just brought me in a lovely bunch of sweet peas from the garden.

Lovely thread:j.
I haven't been given anything today but did give away a pine TV cabinet - we put it outside our front gate with a sign on it saying "Free - please help yourself" - it was gone 5 minutes later. One less thing for us to move in a few weeks:)0 -
