Leave that and take this

Lynns family have a habit of exchanging goods on every family visit. Does your family do this ?

whenever we visit one of the family we have take something over to them. And they always give us something in exchange to bring back. Its a thing they have to do. Its a continuous cycle that never seems to be broken.

The items I am talking about can be anything from a small scrap of paper that has something very interesting written on it. Or maybe a small potted plant. Or a few pennies contained inside a clear see through bank money bag. This may also contain a post it note describing the amount in the bag. For example. Mum £1.21
You must place them ready for collection and delivery in a visible place in your home. For example on top of the fridge seems to be the ideal place in ours. The choice of course is up to you.If you are giving change back for some item that you have been asked to get for them, then this must be packaged correctly.
The correct method of packaging is as follows. Small potted plants can stand alone in their own containers. If you have many plants or cuttings to exchange then they can be contained in a black bin bag. Even a washing up bowl or bucket will do. Plants seem to be hard to label sodon'tt give the wrong plant to the wrong relative because it may end up on your fridge being re labeledd, or even planted in the wrong garden. Money must always be in a small see through bank bag with a post it note inside. This is a must. Any other items must be contained in a supermarket bag when storing for collection, the end of the bag must be tucked under. This is for neatness of course.

I am popping round Lynns mums today.Ii was going to go round with nothing just to be arebell but on top of our fridge there is a saw in a bag belonging to Lynns dad staring . I will have to take it . I will let you no ifIi bring anything back.
