On Thursday last week K & M noticed that there appeared to be a wooden train in very good condition in a skip outside a house about half a dozen doors down from us. On closer inspection there seemed to be an awful lot of stuff in there that had no business being thrown away. Both girls were as bothered by the waste as I was and M was also very taken by the train and asked me if she could have it and I replied that I thought it would be okay, but that she should probably ask first. She and K knocked on the door a number of times that day, as we went passed several times, but it wasn't until it was dark that there was finally someone in. In response to the girls' polite request, they were told that they could take anything they wanted.
So on Friday afternoon, after Uncle S & Aunty P had left, first just K, and a while later M too, went skip diving! They brought at least half a dozen bags full, mostly of toys but various other things too, most of it in immaculate condition. There are a few things that they are keeping but most of the rest they cleaned up if necessary and some has already gone to a charity shop with more ready to go.
Very proud of my girls.
