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.

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.

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.

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 |
