I called to two of my favourite charity shops while I was in town last week. One day I was in town to visit the dentist and called to the Age Concern shop and the other I was in town with Alan and nipped into the local Children's Hospice shop.
In both I got a book and a little something that caught my eye. It's Christmas time and it's a nice way to support any charity, something for me, something for them and a 'please put the change in the donation pot'.
I definitely felt more charitable towards them than the dentist did towards me!!
At home after putting away the new shopping that I showed on yesterday's post, I used the last of my old bananas to make a batch of Banana and Walnut cakes. Half each for me and Alan and nothing gone to waste.
To make a bit of space in the freezer I also took out all the lemon ends and apple cores and made a little batch of Compost Heap Jelly. Two of the little jars were then labelled ready to go into Alan's stocking.
A bit of charity, a bit of frugality and a lot of satisfaction.

Charity shops are a great way to make donations. Our donations generally go in the back door to help restock the shop!
