taker brought me chocolates!!!
 
hi there, just wanted to give a little praise.. i gave something recently and the person who came to collect it brought me a box of chocolates, I wasn't expecting it but it was a lovely gesture,another person said she'd post me something but didn't want the postage cost! next time I take something I'm going to bring a little something to the giver. this is a great site, I'm getting everyone I know involved in it. keep up the good work.

Living in Lucan here....I echo that.... I gave away a chair last week and the takers sister came to collect it with a bottle of wine for me! So thank you very much fellow Jumblers... :) Regards.... Valerie

We had that experience once on another website. We were giving a table and the taker gave us some rather yummy chocolate biscuits. On another occassion we were giving some bedside lockers and the lady gave us a bottle of wine. Its all in the spirit of sharing I guess.

This website is wonderful. It is an excellent idea.

A plesant surprise...
 
I also gave some stuff away recently and the takers gave me a gift of a bottle of wine and a box of yummy biscuits. I didn't expect it at all and was really chuffed.

gratitude
 
Hiya, I was lucky enough to get some books from "ilikecake" I brought her a cream cake as a small token of gratitude. It's a brilliant site, which Im addicted to. both giving and receiving.

expression of thanks
 
hiya, I always give chocs or somthing similar whenever I get anything off jtown. I dont think I did the first time I got an item which was the superman dummy so apologies Elbo if I didnt. He's still alive and well. The giver never seems to expect somthing but I always feel its a nice gesture if I am getting somthing I need for nothing. I never expect anyting for the items i've given mind you as I am always just glad to get rid of whatever it is but its always nice to be appreciated at the same time.

Also received some choocies for my children not so long back from Philomena (you'll remember Philomena as there was a funny story about the item you took from me hee hee) but thank you for the thought!

D'oh I remember, i think i got u the wrong phone credit too lmao. I wouldnt know a good wine if it bit me in the ass so i stick to choccies mostly. i love my shed btw, I owe you a drink for that :-)

I always like to bring something small, i feel awful taking items if for whatever reason i cant bring something, maybe no money or just no time to stop at shop, yet i dont expect anything so i try to tell myself that when fighting off embarrassment knocking on someones door lmao

I got scratchcards from the mammy and i won 4 euro yay, now theres good karma lol
