Charity Shops

I smell a wind up from Mick. I think you'll find that most of what is handed in to charity shops goes off to a central sorting site and is then redistributed from there.... So the likelyhood of buying your own shirts back is highly unlikely.... Nice try Mick

I do know from a  little bird that a lot of the stuff donated never goes on sale--the staff have had first options on it.

Yes and I bet half of them don't pay for the goods they take.

I'd be ashamed to drop off a bag of horrible dirty smelly stuff at our local charity shop, or any other for that matter. Even my recycling is spotlessly clean before I put it outside our door, we live in a village people talk.

Re-cycling is no problem with us all tins and bottles are washed --what annoys me is when you dont get your own black box back--which i hose down after every collection --its happened a few times.

Or your own food caddy, which I wash out every week, then you end up with someone elses with a load of putrifying slop in the bottom 

We arent on the food ones yet but the closest neighbours are rather decent folk so no problems there.

We are in a block of 4, 3 OK, 1 not so.

Know what you mean.
