Aug 26 - 'Friends' Last Sunday

[angelad]

Our regular bring and buy, chit and chat, Friends getogether at CDH

Watch this space for details of any 'special requests' ;D

But we're always grateful for bedding for the doglets, (towels and blankies), kong fillers, toys and treats

And why not have a wardrobe clear out - we'd love to rehome your unwanted clothing, shoes, bags, belts, etc

Preloved cuddlies are always welcome too, ;D

See you there

Unfortunately Katie and I will not be at the last Sunday on 26th as we will be on holiday.

Ohh I really wanted to come along to this months Last Sunday but turns out I'm in work, boo

Hope you have a great day and I'll try and make it along to the next one!

We're likely to be away on the weekend of 26th, but I have some big dog beds, coats, dishes and some cuddly toys to donate. Where should I take them? Thanks, Rhiain (Sebastian's new Mum)

Hi Rhiain,

Would you be able to hold onto your donations until the last Sunday in September. We have a storage problem but by then hopefully we will have created some more space.
Many Thanks,

Rach

I'm hoping to come to this on Sunday. What sort of time does it usually start? Thanks

[Baglady]

About 11 o'clock Jess - hope to see you there

[jessjarvis]

Great. My sisters visiting this weekend too so I'll bring her along. She has a gorge rescue staffie called Seren xx

[Jen]

I have a few things to donate but don't think I will be able to make it for 11, what time do these usually go on till?

Also I have a CD rack/ugly man that I was hoping to donate, but want to make sure friends would be able to sell thins kind of thing before I bring it down as its quite big. Here's a picture of it as its hard to describe:



Can someone let me know if it would be worth bringing this down or if I would be better off taking it to a charity shop (finally convinced my boyfriend to get rid of this so want to get it out the house before he changes his mind ;D).

Thanks

Hi Jen,

Last Sunday goes on til about 1pm.The CD holder will be fine. We'll hsve a go at selling it, so bring it along! Thanks for your support.

Our Rach is the Queen of Car Booty..............she could sell ice to the Eskimos ;D

[jakesmum]

We've been given some lovely necklaces to sell at the boot sales and I'm on the hunt for a cork board that I can hang them up on. If anyone has a surplus one hanging around bring it along tomorrow

We had a New Look Last Sunday today.

Lots of people brought donations for the Car Booty and Baglady had the inspired idea to set up a Bring and Buy stall in the yard of the Home.

Thanks to Sandra, Celia, Lisa and family, other Lisa.

We raised £44.75, plus an extra £21 from Becks and Emma and a donation to come for a pair of binoculars - making a total of AT LEAST

SIXTY FIVE QUID

without leaving the building

plentys for more Booty Sales and lots of soft toys for Woodlands.

Thanks to everyone who came along today to bring and to buy

It really was a lovely day today, we had sooooooo many fabulous donations, and the really great thing was they were flying out of the car park as quickly as they were coming in!

Everyone is getting the hang of our Last Sunday, coming laden with donations......

Sandra and Celia arrived, cars full of last Sunday goodies.....




...including some really quality clothing which will be making it's way to CazDD, and some lovely cuddlies, including a few collectibles ;D





And it just didn't stop coming, we had some lovely donations of doggy bits from Caroline Cowan and from Anne, who dearly loved greyhound Milo went to the bridge a while ago.



...and someone did indeedy bring us a selection of halti's including a mahoosive one for Junior. Thank you so much, whoever you are! It's been put in his dap bag, and hopefully we'll be seeing the big guy 'walking nice' very soon!

More 'bringers'.......







And by lunchtime, the car park looked like Muldoon's Picnic ;D









Last Sunday is a really nice chance for Friends to get together and enjoy a catch up.





And, in the true spirit of 'bring and buy', people got out their purses and the shopping began ;D

Our first customer, Emma...



Swiftly joined by Becky...


Al, trying to find a Jeremy Clarkson book that he hadn't already read...



er, don't give up the day jobs Emma & Jason



ooooh! I'll take it!



Roller blades - sold!



Binoculars - gone!


Yey Rach - I sold the pogo stick



Milo's coat - is going to be keeping a lovely lurcher called Milgi warm through the winter months.....



And Sam bought up a whole lot of doggy things, bed, coat, lead, collar, toys.....



and here's why......



Yey! Bronwyn has gone to her new home

Not forgetting our dogs in CDH, we also had lovely donations of food, toys, treats and bedding which went straight into the Home



There were a few 'sits vac' up for grabs today too

Please be upstanding for Friends new librarian, Anita



and for Sandra who has started our Cur-rency exchange

We can turn your hollibob shrapnel (and notes)! into funds for Friends



We will be putting a collection bucket into CDH for your foreign cur-rency, and will carry one with us at our Meets & Greets and Shows and Events, so if you're coming along, please bring along your unwanted foreign dosh for the dogs

Thank you so much to everyone who came along today, it was really lovely to see you all, and it's so heartwarming to see how many people care about our dogs

Special kisses to Lynne, who came empty, and went home totally laden with Cash for Clothes, Rags to Riches, & Classy Couture for sorting and 'redistributing'



And of course to Rach, our booty queen

Finally, Jerry Springer left the building today
He looks rather pleased with himself eh
