I know that Oxfam are planning to (or just have) open a bookstore in Lille (first in France!). But they want French books above all. I will try to fob some off to them ;)<BR/>Jane: I will have to remember that next time I'm home (prob. for my 30th eek birthday, you up for a drinkies?).<BR/>SG: I *love* the concept behind freecycle, it's so very clever and eco-friendly too.

I could spend days doing it! <BR/><BR/>Well done for donating your books.<BR/><BR/>www.freecycle.org is also a good way of getting rid of unwanted stuff, too - especially electrical items that you can't take to charity shops (or if there aren't any!). <BR/><BR/>BTW, when I was in France, I used to love coming back home and going bargain hunting in Oxfam etc! I really missed not having any charity shops to browse in. <BR/><BR/>ps Tried to leave a comment yesterday but it wouldn't work for some reason.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32765588.post-27256094180807293792007-08-17T15:55:00.000+02:002007-08-17T15:55:00.000+02:00I don't know if this applies in France, but Edinbu...I don't know if this applies in France, but Edinburgh Libraries are always happy to receive donations, no matter what language they're in. At the moment we're especially glad to Polish books...(the language, not the stuff that makes your furniture shiny!). So maybe you could give that a thought if you have any left? <BR/>I love having aclear out like that. I hate to part with anything at the end, but you never know what hidden gems you might come across that you'd completely forgotten about!

I saw a tramp pick up some knitting patterns once, I thought it would be so funny if he hadn't missed the point but actually had some use for it!<BR/>Incidentally, I think Oxfam bookshops are going from strength to strength over here.<BR/>Good work Lis, Jez would love this!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32765588.post-35321169713994242152007-08-15T18:51:00.000+02:002007-08-15T18:51:00.000+02:00Oh my God, loving you for this!!
