Two Goodgymmers, Keith and Lea, helped at the “carnage” AKA free-for-all AKA the Dorset Children’s Foundation jumble sale today. Actually this was in no way carnage, it was totally manageable and really a lot of fun. Lots of money raised for clothes that would have gone to tonnage (recycling into rags or landfill). With items costing only 50p per item, the piles of clothes went steadily down. Lea was happy with her book about sloths and the cardigan she bought to put on over her Goodgym tshirt, as it was a tad cold in the shop with the doors wide open. But about an hour before closing time, the price was reduced to “fill your plastic bag for a pound”, then the piles really started disappearing. Keith’s loud voice announcing the price reduction could virtually be heard all over the Sovereign centre! I think he was in need of a stiff drink though when his town-cry slipped into “fill your pound for a bag”…. Anyway, Patsy of the Dorset Children’s Foundation was mighty pleased with our help! No after picture unfortunately, but the piles had DEFINITELY gone down!

got a little carried away, one guy offered me a pound to shut up. I should have asked for a fiver. Fill your bag for a pound, ladies clothes, babies clothes, kids clothes, a search for a bargain. That rings on people ears.
