I cleaned out my daughters closet and
when i got knee deep pulling her winter jackets down from the top rack and into her main hanger rack I discovered some clothes to fit ME! She is 10 and I guess I had gotten so big that I didn’t even noticed instead of buying a 10 in girls I must have bought a 10 in womens vests last year (at a garage sale) and I out them in the top of her closet because they were too big for her. Well as I was cleaning I found 3 vests, and a long sleeve shirt to fit me! Yahoo, well as I am enthuised about this she is saying MOM! You can wear MY clothes now?!!?? and I tried to explain that it was a 10 in womens yet she doesn’t want to listen! She is thin very thin and is only 10 so she thinks she must be getting fat..lol..NO I am getting smaller finally I told her! I am so excited I gave some Of my clothes away yesterday too, I met this lady in the goodwill and she was talking with her friend, about a new job she got, and I overheard her say look for some clothes for me I have nothing…so being the thrifty person I am I rolled my cart over to hers, and I explained to her that i was not trying to be rude, but that if she was a 16-18w…I had tons of clothes for her! She was ecstatic, and I got her cell phone number and I rushed home to dig in the attic to find some clothes for her! I got out a huge black 39 gallon trach bag full of clothes for her, as well as 10 things crowding up my own closet, like heavy jackets and such! She was so happy to recieve these and she came straight to get them…So I get a few clothes, and she gets all the rest! Lol…And I found 13 dollars, and 2 chick-fil-a coupons for free sandwhiches.. to boot while going through pockets to make sure no items were left behind in jackets. We wet and got the sandwiches and they let me get GRILLED ONES! So every thing worked out!
You are a very nice person. There should be more people in the world like you!! You are a great example. I’m glad you found the money and the clothes. What an inspiration!!
WOW 53 lb weight loss so far! That is terrific~! Keep up the good work
Yes, you more generous than I am. I woulda sold them to her! lol
This is great karma Angela. I love that you did this generous act for this woman who really needs it. And OMG your daughter must be freaking out. LOL Ellen
You go girl! That was wonderful that you found someone who could use your clothes. I did something similar a few weeks ago! I cleaned out my closet and was going to give my stuff to my sister-in-law and then she called and told me she was now wearing the same size as me (another incentive to get my butt in gear)! Anyways I placed them on Freecycle (a wonderful Yahoo Group another Buddy Slimmer told me about). People post things that they are giving away or looking for. The woman I gave them to was so nice and thankful for them, it sure made my day to be helpful!
I hope you have a great day!
What a great thing to do! In my apartment house we have a rack in the community room that we can recycle clothing on. After they hang there so long someone from the shelters comes and takes them. Never waste things when others do without. We even have a small pantry that has essentials donated by residents and if you are sick or the weather is too bad, you just ask this super nice couple that run the pantry. Everything is done anon. Your weight chart is SUPER. Keep up the great work. Hugs, Marge
That’s great girl! Everyone won out huh? It was that lady’s lucky day. Keep up the great work!
