Come to think of it, most of the rellies are in boxes, but some still live to strike again with a lovely gift made of woollen yarn.

Course if you are really into 'dumpster diving' as it's known in the trade, you might want to check out this site:
http://www.dumpsterworld.com/
These are a bunch of strange guys who go around raking in dumpsters and then trade their finds on the internet. They even do Dumpster Diving Meet Ups - I wonder if you'd go there and find a bunch of hobos swigging wine from brown sacks. I know, I still can't believe it either...
![Big Grin](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
I go there when I'm bored to make me realise my life isn't quite so bad because I haven't as yet been reduced to dumpster diving to get new stuff.

She married long after Monkey and developed Leukemia later on.
She THEN received chemotherapy.
