A few things have happened since my last entry. What's been going on:
My mums church had a "free bring and take" day where you could bring unwanted household items, CDs, DVDs, books, toys, baby things, clothes and shoes and (small) furniture - as long as they were in good, working condition - and take what you wanted too.
Earlier in the day my mum and I dropped off a load of books I didn't want anymore (a whole load of my "doubles" of Agatha Christie books aheh...) and she gave away a bag of clothes. Then later on when it properly opened we went along with my mum's friend and picked up some bits and bobs.
I was only expecting to bring back some books but actually I only picked up "The Big Four" by Agatha Christie, which is one of the few of AC's I didn't have. Then I realised it would be good if I could pick up a few practicle items for when Davey and I move to Bournemouth next year, so I got for free:
1.) Two stainless steel sauce pans, a medium and a small, in v. good conition.
2.) A new (label still on) kitchen utensil holder.
3.) A new (label still on) air tight container (for nuts, coffee or ya know, whatever)
4.) Four gold Christmas charger plates
5.) A Dairymilk Caramel logo mug and a Kitkat logo mug
6.) A dish drainer. Yes, I'm so cheap that I actually picked this inexpensive thing up anyway. lol
Another of my mum's friends was there too and oh my god she had a suitcae and two bursting bags of clothes. I can understand she was going to send them back to her family in the Philippines but I just thought the amount she took (when I'm not sure if she brought anything to give away) was greedy.
My mum got some clothes, a couple of hand bags and some big ass shirts for Davey. It was pretty good.
ALSO, I have started my NVQ which is what I've been waiting for. As soon as I complete this bitch Davey and I are moving down to sunny Bournemouth. I can't wait to get out of this crap town. Oh yeah, yesterday at work was really stressful for me. It was the first time I actually considered whistleblowing my workplace to the CQC, but *sigh* I dunno...
What else? Well, I am trying to get rid of a whole load of books and clothes which I plan on trying to sell via TSUK but I need to take photos of everything, which is a bitch. Why didn't I give 'em to the church giveaway? Well, because most of those things I bought and I need to raise money for new furnishings and crap.
That's all I can think of right now. Not a lot really, just the same old plodding along. Peace out.
