What a horrible website stretching across 2 pages!
Sound like you need to up the resolution on your monitor, i have mine set to 1024 x 768 and it looks fine.0 -
Freecycle is fab! :T I've been a member of the Cardiff, Bridgend, RCT & Caerphilly groups for several months now & think it's a great idea.
Although I've not taken anything yet I've given away a breadmaker, a juicer, several duvets to a dog's home, and a rugby international ticket to a very happy 12 year old!
Anything that saves filling up landfill sites is a wonderful idea! :jSave the planet - use a MENSTRUAL CUP!!!0 -
I am a member of both the colchester freecycle group and the tendring district group too - I am right on the border and also very near to ipswich so thinking of joining that too. so far I have got rid of a lawnmower (and I delivered that cos I was so pleased to be getting rid of it!)
thanks to this thread I've now joined free2collect too!Blah0 -

LOL - a car has just been offered on the Southampton freecycle, there is something wrong with it it seems but still a car! Think I will give it a miss as mechanics not my strong point! Looks like anything goes down here!!
