A little dress, matching cross body bag, a cheery jumper and unusually for me a pair of jeans. £12 all in. I will be on the lookout for cruise clothes.

Florenceem said:Walked into town - posted letters and took unused medication to Chemist and bags of stuff to the charity shop.
Went to friendship/lunch club - lot of people there and a great meal so no cooking for me tonight.
I was given an envelope - anonymous - £50 - to help in my present troubles - person who handed it to me knows who it is from and that I wouldn't want to accept it. I will speak to her about it on Friday.
Walked to Home B and Ald. but bus home as it is hilly here to drag a heavy shopping trolley. Now we have 2 beautiful ships in the harbour - bit like buses - wait ages for one and two arrive.Carolbee17 -

@Florenceem another vote for being the receiver and accepting the gift as you've done so much for others, and there will be other opportunities to pass on gifts.
@Siebrie I'm so sorry to hear about your father and hope there is comfort in him being at home for all of you , surrounded by family and involved in the planning of the remaining time. Hugs and thinking of you.
some packing in recycling bin, posted sold item last night, and used up some lo food and some past rescuing out, and put tins like with like to help organise food. DB had someone pick up the mast from our dad's little dinghy - he wanted to aluminum pole part of it to use as two parts for his boat. Emptied bins and a few frog emails sent. Trying to tidy rather than eat when stressed so I may get to sort clothes out in medium term.
Impressed by all going on by everyone on the train facing challenges and clutter.17 -

Hi - I have been keeping up on posts whilst away but still some to read. Condolences to your family Mrs SD. Lovely trip to DDs but unfortunately sonil was hit by a car whilst out on his bike Monday. He is ok but bruised and battered and his lovely expensive bike is ruined. Lots of country lanes and bends where they are but the driver hit him on a roundabout on a main road as he came home. She said she just didn't see him already on the roundabout when she pulled out. Main thing he is ok - the dents in his helmet show how important it is to wear one. Anyway that slightly restricted things and I didn't return until lunchtime yesterday and went straight out to a meeting. Shopped at Mr T with DS2 which was boring. A few things to report in but not much. DD was checking out some jeans that hadn't fitted for a while and was pleased not only to see that she could get in them but by the fact that there was £50 in the pocket! I got my £7 from Ziffit for the books which I sent them.
