Bala, Olio have a non food section which I have used both to give and collect, don't know if you have that where you are? I love being part of the sharing economy!

Thank you Nonna

my Olio has posts over a year old.  Don't think anyone even visits.  My spare food I actually give to my 90 year old neighbour, after I have cooked it.  Today she had 2 frozen lovely chocolate mousses, 3 nectarines, some grapes, chicken cassoulet and roast potatoes.  It's my way of keeping an eye on her as she broke her arm last year.

A neighbour knocked today and said he had tools to go from his grandma's shed. Theyw ere all old and rusty but nothing that can't be fixed. DH will clean them off this weekend then I will offer them out. I have at lease one of all the tools he gave me.

That's really great Bitsy (can I call you that ?)  

Isn't it great when something can be mended/repurposed......and then passed on.  I keep seeing wheelbarrows in skips and would love to collect a host of them to grow things in.  But that's for when I have my own home.

That funny. Yup Bitsy is fine by me bala 😂😂 Those wheelbarrows definitely seem to breed. Got three on the allotment. Giving one away and the other is definitely just a planter now.
Wombled an ornate metal trellis and a clothing airer yesterday. DS2 needed an airer  and is happy tha the will have one by tonight. There was an ironing board too but I doubt he will ever do that willingly!

Thanks bala 
Popping in to report three items wombled today. 
First: A pair of car ramp things which will be sold asap.
Second: A frame for a folding fabric cloth wheelbarrow. Ideal for my MiL as it is lightweight. Got the wheel; just need to make the wheelbarrow bit. I have some fabric from an old gazebo. Double layered it will do the job.
The third item is a metal medium sized gas cylinder which had a door cut into it. The door isn't attached and it has no chimney yet but it will be nice outside in the evening as the temperature drops.

We made over £37 from the scrap and cable.

I'm hoping to find a cylinder or washing machine to get the drum out and create a fire pit BBB, you have some good finds.

That's excellent MF

We have quite a few old things that would have valuable metals in, but I wouldn't know where to start.  Took my dog down different roads yesterday and saw quite a bit that I would have brought home.  Sadly, I would be shot ! 

Bitsy, you amaze me.......

Well March was another very lean month.  Did see things that I would have brought home but I am de-cluttering so have remained strict with myself.

21pence road coinage.

People have started throwing their coupons away again.  Was thrilled to save £3.50 today on a shop of quite a bit RTC/YS.

Hope you are all still wombling......
