Buy Nothing Day

Post by Maria » 26 Nov 2004, 18:39

Tomorrow is Buy Nothing Day

Oh well, perhaps we could make an exemption in the case of the PCATS ceilidh and St John's School fete? :?

It's an interesting idea, but I rather suspect I would simply spend twice as much the following day and be rather tetchy in the meantime because I'd run out of milk or beer or some other essential item. I'm also quite taken with the idea of a Buy Nothing Christmas. I'm just not sure how to break it to the kids.

Is there another jumble sale at the Town Hall tomorrow?
I thought I saw a banner saying there was a sale from 1.30pm? In fact, it might have been todays date that was on it.
Maybe I imagined it? Anyone know anything about it?
:?

Obviously, if it is tomorrow I will give careful consideration as to whether or not I buy anything.
:D

The jumble sale was actually yesterday (Friday) which is an odd day for it. Don't know who was running it.

Thanks Dc, I noticed the banner had gone this morning right enough.

I tried to buy nothing - I looked in all the shops but they didn't have any left!
