This campaign is being run at the moment in this country to try and help people out in the recession.However ,I was brought up by thrifty Lancashire folk and have always done this.
I've mentioned the exchange table where I have had many perfectly good tee shirts that just needed a couple of stitches in a seam.
Today, I said goodbye to a towel.It was one of a pair of very expensive ones given to me by my Gran, well, many years ago.It was cream with pink and purple flowers sprinkled sparsely on it.It was fluffy and warm but over the years has slowly worn out.I used to give all my worn towels to the local PDSA but they don't use them any more for health reasons.
I cut the corners off it, hemmed them and now have 4 new faceflannels.The rest goes in the clothes recycling bin.
Here's another use for a towel.
