Something For Nothing

[Guest]

I went into the Early Learnign Centre today to buy a tractor with some recently raised funds and the shop assistant told me that there were having a re-fit and asked if I would like some of their ex display things??? She has given us, tables, chairs, easles etc!!

 

How lovely, it isnt often that you get something for nothing!!!

 

I had never thought of stores that have re-fits giving their things away but from now on I will keep my eyes and ears open!!

We once got one of those Thomas the Tank Engine train tables from a local toy shop who were replacing theirs. Two committee members had gone in to get end of term presents for the children and obviously timed it right!

That's lovely Jenni B, you lucky thing!

[Guest]

oooh, lucky you

 

It is nice though that the children will benefit from the stores generosity.

I went into ELC once for some paint brushes with two brushes on. They used to be sold seperatly at about £1 but they'd stop selling them so the woman opened a box set, gave me the brushes out of it and said she would send it back saying it was incomplete. No charge.

Always worth asking for things in my opinion

Your aquistions sound fab, well done you and well done ELC for not wasting stuff.

i've been lucky with elc too in the past..................they've given us a big yellow ride on tractor, easels x2, a dolls house, balls, a piano/disco centre.....we just were in the right place at the right time!

we are also amazingly fortunate with one well known toyshop (previously mentioned), a girl who works with us knows the manger at this toy shop ~ so you can imagine the perks to that Lets just say we get some excellent deals.
