    Great minds indeed Hattie :)

    I dont know whats involved but I suppose you can always start a group for your area if there isnt one already?
    i would think so..but haven't a clue how to go about it!! Luckily my area is on there, i had to join and am now waiting to hear if if i have been accepted as a member, but looking at another area (Norfolk) i think it is done differently! If you have a yahoo email account just type in your id and password and it lets you in by that!
    I'm really pleased with this freebie..hopefully if i can become a member there is something going free that i have been after for ages and haven't been able to afford one!


    Thanks Liney for this one..much appreciated! Thanks again!

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker Savvy Shopper!
    There are also forums around that allow swaps. I have several money off coupons that I wont use as I already have loads and have managed to swap them for things that I will use such as shower gel and pens. I also had a Bliss NY bar of soap worth £12 that I swapped with someone for branded shampoo, conditioner and hair serum plus lots of extra shampoo sachets to balance out the value.

    Its a great system :)

    Start one! okay so to begin with it will only have one member, you, making a Yahoo group is free and easy and I'm sure if you email the main co-ordinators they will assist

    Love the rules


    13) NO FREECYCLING YOURSELF OR YOUR CHILDREN. Freecycling oneself (or one's shy friends) is, I'm afraid, not allowed. There are many fine Internet dating sites better suited to this purpose, or you could try Craig's List or a Burning Man mixer (just kidding). Freecycling your kids is not on the menu either, no matter how crazy they make you sometimes. Try getting them involved in after-school band practice.
    :lol:
