I took my Grandad his weekly bakes and came back with a joint of silverside
"Saw this in the butchers and thought it'd come in handy for you" says my Grandad. Love him and my Grandma millions, i am a lucky, lucky girl at 27 to still have all 4 of my grandparents
Took my other grandparents a cake and came back with a lovely knitted cardi for DD2, i love hand knitted stuff
My mam gave me a loaf of bread and half a dozen teacakes from her freezer as she needed to make room.
I gave my parking ticket to a lady in town, we'd been much quicker than i thought at the dentist so there was plenty of time left on it

I hope none of my fellow hoarders are reading!
Today my mother visited me and brought me 6 biggish bowls, 6 small ones, very pretty and i don't have many bowls. She also brought a beautiful pair of socks, silk and wool, which are just wonderful. And a beautiful house magazine, a pink garden jasmine and a baby yew.. What a lucky woman I am today!
I gave her a bottle of lovely bath stuff (she has just had a new bath put in her new house) and lunch...oh, she bought me some milk on the way over too.0 -
I was given a box of porridge oats and two boxes of individual portions of cereal as they where clearing a cupboard at work and knew I would make the most use as nothing goes to waste in my house
I gave away 3 jars of homemade jam recently
you all get such wonderful things- perhaps I should pay it forward more to expect karma to repay me??Love reading the oldstyle board...always something to learn!0 -

A recorder for my little boy from a very kind man on freegle. It was brand new - he got it when he did a music course and didn't play it. One very delighted little lad0

A friend has just moved into a first floor flat so gave me her black wrought iron three tier plant shelf, in exchange for listening to her for 4 hours. She's easy to listen to and the plant shelf is lovely, so a double bonus0
