Well I have had today off from work - have done some house work (washed windows, kitchen floor, vacced through, washed car and cleaned it) and generally gone through the list of jobs that I was asked to do.
I went into one of the spare rooms and I sat looking at the keep fit equipment that I have and unfortunately, have not used in a few months. Work and poor health etc have meant that have had no interest at all. I squared up round it all and wiped it clean, then decided that it took up too much space.
Tried packing it away but a excersise bike, 120 kilos of weight, an ab bench and a multi gym is hard to disguise. So I figured that I had no use for it any more. Its all immaculate condition.
I called the RSPCA (where Vicki was for 6 years before we got her and we had 2.5 great ones with her until earlier this year). I heard on the drums that they are having an open day this weekend and would like some stuff to sell. I offered it - would even deliver it to them.
Anyway, the open day is not until the weekend, and they now have it all. However, one of the staff wanted a weight bench etc and said he would give a pound per lb in weight, then he took the bench and the abdominal thing. Whilst I was unloading it he went to the bank and the last I heard that he had bought the lot bar the bike. That already has a home with another member of staff who has paid for it as I took it out of the car.
They must have raised a nice little packet for the centre as they are trying to get a field for the animals ti run in etc and I guess if it got another couple of hundred quid nearer - then so be it.
I gave Vicki a home from them when no one wanted her - nice to give something back that they benefit from even more. Strange the way things happen.
Hope you are having a good day. I am now nursing a bad back from all that lifting - however, will raise a glass to my dear departed Vicki tonight in her memory.
