Charming!

After the sad demise of my father in law my husband and I helped my mother in law sort and clear out her house. One day I turned up and she had a large box of crockery and bags of clothes she wanted dropping off at the local charity shop. Despite being pregnant I dutifully "lugged" the heavy offending bags and boxes to the charity shop of her choice that very afternoon. Now you could blame grief, perhaps even old age but today I popped over to see her to be greeted by an extremely disgruntled (to put it very mildly) MIL who wants to know what I did with her rejected items as she's caught the bus on numerous occasions and visited the charity shop and she has yet to see any of her items in sale!!!! Unbelievable! I had to laugh a little to myself as I have visions of this mad old lady scouring the shelves for her 1970's Denby! But I was kinda at a loss to explain it myself!

You (or you MIL) must also understand that not all donators are as fastidious in clenliness as she was.

He he! Well I ran with the old depot story and whether it's true or not explained that all items probably go to a depot where they are then distributed to various other branches. But I will admit it's admit it's a complete guess, so kinda glad you have confirmed my thoughts! I did laugh at the thought of the locals in old Ted's suits drinking tea out of his china ;-)
