so i was invited to play bunco last night as a fill in. i hardly knew the ladies and it was fun!

we were chatting afterwards and i joked that i won 5 bucks and that will buy me 10 outfits for the girls - then they started asking me a zillion questions..

i then said "oh im always looking for anything big toy related - swing set, slide, play hut, whatever - i'll take it and clean it up"

one woman said "oh, i have a swing set i dont want anymore - you can have it"

another woman said "oh, i hate my kids log cabin plastic playhouse...you can have it! just come get it!"

NEVER underestimate the power of just asking and *networking* someone always knows someone who is looking to get rid of something!!!!!!!! whoopie!!!

Good Job!! I do the same thing, & have gotten a ton of free stuff for DS!!(I got a little playhouse too!!) I've also gotten a bunch of furniture, including 2 regular couches, a couch bed, a recliner, swivel rocker, coffee table, end tables, & the desk chair i'm sitting on right now, lol!! Most of the furniture came from family members, but they would have thown it awy had i not told them i was interested, now they always call me before they pitch stuff, My Aunt gave me a ton of Halloween decorations, most of them were light up jack-o-lanterns that she made herself in ceramic's!! I was thrilled!!

How great! I need to do more of that. It seems like whenever I do open up and say that I need something, someone is always around with it to give!
