    My OH came home from work yesterday with a pack of 6 jam tarts, and a box of 80 tea bags, which were given out to him and other staff for free. He wasn't sure if he should have brought the tarts home, as we're trying to lose weight, but I said you can't say no to freebies, lol!

    I gave away two pallets today that we had no use for, someone else is going to use them as fire wood for their wood burner. It's nice to think things are recycled and can be of use to someone else.

    Today our year 11's started their "home study" time and on their way out I was GIVEN lots of hugs! In fact at one point I was SQUISHED between 4 lads of almost 6', with me just reaching 5'2"... but it was a really nice morning and a lovely way to see them all, smiling in the sun and looking to the future!

    4 chicken eggs (in a cute little 4 box) from DD's friends hens - a new hobby for them

    I shall send the empty box back along with a couple of egg boxes I have lying around.

    I shall also send a jar of blackcurrant jam (HM of course) when the time comes as long as nothing eats the currants!
