    We are open normal hours but a LOT of extra work going on behind the scenes with the hampers & the gifts.
    Only good thing is that I am not delivering as I cant lift the boxes when they are full as they are too heavy.
    So I am trying to keep everything else running as smoothly as I can & disposing of the out of date donations!!

    What do you do with the out of date stuff Beanie? In Spain our local foodbank put it clearly labelled on a table and say people can take some if they want to - only tinned obviously, not unfresh.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Great idea.
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

    Solicitor/survey savings 300/1700
    Emergency fund 0/1000
    Buffer fund 0/200

    We do this too depending on what it is & how out of date it is.
