    1 Ugly fruit from Reception E0,20

    A bag of winter gear and large towels from a colleague. Her 2 sons have outgrown the winter gear (sometimes it's not even been worn) and the gear is unisex. I like having winter gear in stock, because you always need it in a rush, and usually wear it only once or twice. We don't do wintersports, so it's only for home use. E15.

    2 oranges from Reception E0,40
    1 year no MOT E39,70 (my car had its MOT this morning, and while I was waiting in line I read the notice properly. It said that if your car was maximum 6 years old and had run less than 100,000km, they could give you a 2-year certificate. I asked the mechanic when it was my turn, and now I have it!)
