I didn’t quiet make the dozen mark to give away today. I had 10 and decided I should keep 1 for myself but I managed to give away the other 9. I had a similar problem that someone else mentioned; I ran into one person who said, “I can’t take this because I don’t have anything to give you.” I explained, again, that the only thing I was asking for was that they use the bag and turn down a plastic bag. Then they asked, “But what’s in it for you?” I told him it would be one less plastic bag I’d see, floating about on the breeze, on the side of the roadway. I still wasn’t sure he’d take it with him but he did!
What a wonderful lot you are! Congratulations to everyone. My goodness Offcuts, your vast numbers of bags nearly made me have the vapours! I love that Wellie statue Beattie, especially suitably decorated. I don’t have time to go to the Catch Up yet, will look up the haddock story later. Well done everyone. Brilliant.
I agree with Sazzie, “Wowsers, Team Leicester!!” 😀
I DID add up the numbers – and it takes teamwork and dedication to make and distribute that many bags – Gold Medals to all involved!
I’m glad you managed to miss the hailstorm Sazzie. I hope you dodged the worst of it Offcuts & Grumpy. Well done to Butterfly’s caterpillars who bagged the village en masse
“Well done” also to JC – isn’t it weird that people turn down a free bag? We did get a few who watched from a distance, saw other people getting a bag with no “GOTCHA!” moment – they didn’t have to pay after all, or fill in a form – and then changed their minds, came and got a bag after all. If someone wants to give you something in return it’s perfectly acceptable for them to give you old curtains, or bed linen (though sometimes that can be a bit “tired”).
WOW! Didn’t we all do well. That’s a lot of new morsbag users out here!
I am looking forward to going to the chip van next Friday to see if anyone is using their bags!
According to the home page the next co-ordinated handout is March 1st…. I’m in
Leicestershire is in!
Good answer to whats in it for you JC! 🙂
So it doesn’t get confusing, and to make sure people notice it I’ve created a new thread for the March handout.
How did your Make or Take go Waley? 😀
One of the staff from Mr Sazzies school who was given a morsbag during the January handout called round today with two HUGE boxes of old duvets / curtains and fabric that she discovered when helping her parents clear out their loft – her mum was going to send it to the recycling centre thinking nobody would want it – good job she was there to intercept!
Fantastic! 🙂
That’s super Sazzie! That’ll keep you both supplied 😀
How superb Sazzie! I don’t want to appear to look a gift horse in the ———- er er but – did she have good taste?!
The message is getting through – great
