    i heard of freecycle on here a while ago & it's fantastic. have offered & received all sorts. a few problema at mo with a lady who i offered a pram to who after a couple of days & me trying to fit it in my car & find time to take to her as she has no transport she decided to tell me after i emailed her that she has been offered a lighter one so doesn't need mine. don't know when she was gonna tell me! anyway, i would say always keep a few emails so u have 2nd choice if 1st doesn't show so u don't have to reoffer, & only let them have it if they can collect! waste of my time this lady! but apart from her everyone else has been lovely!!
    had lovely email chat with lady who frequents mse aswell. you know who you are if you're reading this - hi!
    Cleaning the house while children are growing is like shovelling snow when it's still snowing!
  • Thanks for the heads up on the site guys, have been using freecycle and am getting a little fed up with all the emails and the fact they aim at local area. Got to admit not much stuff there at the moment but the site looks kinda funky and as its free you can't complain.

  • have you heard about "freecycle" this is a site that after you have registerd for free you then can give away or receive everything for nothing..this stops things from going to the landfill, items posted range from baths to kids cloths. the person wanting the items collects,no money is to be exchanged. not all towns and citys have a "freecycle" group but this is a good way of getting rid of your unwanted items without getting up early on sundays and doing a boot sale...

    I've used it to get rid of a (good quality) mattress and my brother got rid of some huge speakers he didn't need anymore.
