    Thanks for the offer, very decent of you, but no ta.

    I have a separates set up:

    Rega Planar 3 Turntable
    A&R Cambridge Arcam Alpha Amp
    Rotel CD player
    Crappy Aiwa Tape player (but who listens to tape anyhoo)
    and a pair of Rega speakers to replace the Royd one's I blew in December 2005 :o:o :eek: - which was a real biatch because the royds were stunningly good - in fact unbelievably good
    Hate and I do mean Hate my apple Mac Computer - wish I'd never bought the thing
    Do little and often
    Please stop using the word "of" when you actually mean "have" - it's damned annoying :mad:

    WANTED: SOFT TOYS can collect..If possible i perfer to collect by Bin Bag Full..
    My daughter loves to help the local charity shops...So i get nagged
    so if you have any soft toys by the Bin Bag Full i will collect.
    Then Maybe No More Nagging...But I Don't Think So...
    Take Care All Happy FreeCycling...Bin Bag Full means by the black bag
    full...Just thought i would mention it.

    right, so he's prepared to drive about 30 miles (judging on where he lives and which site he's posted on) - possibly more - for a bag full of toys which he will then take to the charity shop.....? Ummmmm, so why don't I take them to my local charity shop myself and save him the trip.....????:D

    Hi folks! Some of you out there are bound to have one or two of the
    following…

    I'm still building a greenhouse on my allotment from old doors and
    windows. If anyone has any glass internal or external doors, I'd
    make use of them.
    Also I need plastic roofing sheets. Maybe someone you know is
    replacing a conservatory?
    I need lots of strips of wood beading. Perhaps if there is none
    going, someone has the workshop tools to rip planks of wood I
    already have down to size?

    I will always make use of slabs down on the plot too, so never skip
    them. Keep my email address if you intend changing your garden in
    the future and I will gladly come help lift them.

    I don't normally follow fashion, but I'd love a floating shelf for
    out lounge if one is due to be chucked. If I have a choice a beach
    affect would be really nice.

    I'm looking to build my own computer station. Does anyone have a
    computer desk that's a bit past it? I just want the keyboard shelf
    and its runners.

    Oh, I'd really like a couple of old bendy desk laps too.

    One last thing… my wing mirror fell off the other day. Anyone
    scrapping a 1997 Astra?

    That's all I can think off for now!

    maybe i'm just being dim but.....all posts to our freecycle go through a moderator who decides whether to post them or not, i've forgot to put my area on them before and get them send back to ammend before they get posted, sooooo how are these random toilet/euro/new house requests getting through?
    Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it.
    Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.

    My freecycle group has been quite sensible just lately. This is the best of the lot!
    I am putting this message here for my son. It may be a long-shot but.....

    He wants to know if anyone has any Helly Hansen, Henry Lloyd or Lacoste,
    clothes that anyone is giving away. He is size medium but doesn't mind large
    clothes as he prefers them baggy.

    He is after tracksuits, coats, t-shirts, or anything that's going really.

    He would really appreciate your help. He is a poor student going through his
    GCSE's at the moment and is hoping to get a job afterwards to earn his own
    money.

    If you think you may have something else he might like, please e-mail me and
    I shall ask him.

    Thank you for reading this message.

    racist dog anyone?
    a good home needed for our 2yr old rotti (leo). asap preferably before
    friday as were moving and new property will not allow. he has a lovely
    temprement and is fine with the children in our family also fine with
    other dogs both small and large. i dont want to write this in fear of
    upset but it needs to be stated. leo does not agree with those of a
    black minority (sorry) this is due to him being mistreated when young.
    ourselves and leo will need to meet new owners prior to exchange so
    that we can asure a good home is given.
    £50 will secure
    no time wasters please.
