    Hi i have given Beds, cupboards, tv's video's, lawn mowers,Coffee table, BBQ and many more items.
    Received a few items like rotavator, greenhouse and roof bars for my car.

    It is a brilliant idea when used properly.

    really hate freecycle at the moment -_-

    had some lovely cardboard boxes from a chap a year or two ago.

    but now my local freecycle is terrible -_-;

    i put loads of stuff on there because im moving house tomorrow... only put it on wednesday but still made it clear when i was moving, when i'd be available..... and people really take the !!!!. and never ever show up -_-

    one person asked nicely, i said yes, gave address, said come at any time after 6 but on saturday i'll be gone by 11am. then i get an email back.... oh are you going to be in leics at any time? uhmmm nooo....... then they are like oh can u bring them to a place about a mile away at 4pm........its like oddly enough no. stupid time wasters should go and read -_-;
