    daft question but... I've just been through all my ds stuff, and have 2 big bags full of clothes he's grown out of. Some are in really good condition others are only really suitable for paying out in but still have some life left in them. I know some people are a bit funny about second hand clothes so are they allowed on freecycle?

    I've never offered anything before.

    Don't worry, people offer all sorts of things - and someone will probably be very glad of some play clothes

    Thanks Kerry and dlb, will do :)

    I also have a cabin bunkbed (the kind with a wardrobe and desk underneath) going spare, only problem is it will have to be dismantled before it can be moved downstairs and because I have sciatica I can't do it myself. It's in really good condition and I'm loathed to let my FIL smash it to bits (which is the only way it will get out of the bedroom without a bit of care) If the clothes go well I might offer that too.

    Freecycle attracts people that will go to many lengths if they really want something, remeber that they may be saving £100's from your freecycle! State that it needs dismantaling by the taker and im sure you'll still get rid of it quickly!

    Morning Everyone

    I have used freecycle and free2collect (I know its been mentioned before) I have had really positive experiences with both. The free2collect is really easy to use to search for items, or to put things on there. There is no big registration either. Hope someone finds it useful.
