  • I was thinking.....yeah I know, a dangerous occupation......we've done pretty good lately with lenors and wine but have accumulated quite a bit of other assorted items that maybe we might not need.

    On that basis I sorted out a couple of big bags of life full of biscuits, beans, rice putting, custard powder etc etc and will be donating it to my local food collection centre for the homeless.

    I don't have a lot of cash and can't give much but small things like this at leas tmake me feel a bit useful. :)

    That's a great thing to do. I need to get rid of a few things too. Just need to get my butt in gear and sort the cupboards out. Along with the rest of the house. I'm running out of space. :rotfl:

    hi 3dogs, nice to see you sweetie and hear that things are going so well for you just now :)

    Wonderful that your friends came up and helped out with the decorating and the curtain rail too they sound like real :As

    They have got a heck of a drive back tonight though bless them, hope they have a good clear run through, should be ok at this time of night :T
    Are you heading north anytime soon? I've been back a week and want to go back so much :cool:

    Hiya altojack :DI am driving up to Tyneside in just over 2 wweeks time as Alan's eldest lad is getting married in Florida next month as is having their wedding do down Tynemouth on the 15th. My Sis/Bil and Niece/OH are going with me and it should be a good do. Just have to decide who is going to drive ;);) I will stay up there for a long weekend, back home for a couple of days and then drive down to Portsmouth to stay with my friends for a long weekend/week. I've got to test out my new car when I get it :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Lesleysanderson - I am so worried about your little lady so you must be beside yourself - hope it all turns out well. As long as your lady gets through it ok, that will be the main thing. Keep us informed petal :(

    I sent my niece home today with loads of fruit tea (mocs/offer), Soltan for Kids SF50 and Adults SF30, beanz, etc and that meant that my stock of beanz could be stored away tidily instead of in a Tosco bag cluttering up the hallway ;)

    I only bought myself a large outside storage box a couple of weeks ago for my birthday and it's already full. O/h keeps saying, no more, but I just can't help myself. The buzz is just too good. :) Mind you, the old liver is getting a bit of a pounding.

    Maybe sorting out my cupboards and freezer can be my job for when I get home in the morning. It will stop me from falling asleep. That, a couple of matchsticks and a 2 year old, :eek:
