Someone who still doesn't understand that Freecycle is about keeping things out of landfill (and not just about begging from the neighbourhood because you spent your Giro on fags and booze):

does anyne have any nappies please siza 4~5 size please i have 4
nappies left til tuesday and 3 kids wea nappoes in this house. if anyne
can plz help me i will be truly grateful.

I felt like offering to send the instructions for how to make and fold cloth nappies from old towels (as my Mum did in an emergency) but figured that this wouldn't go down too well.

:rotfl: :rotfl: funny

I guess it IS possible that someone may have some left from a child that has grown out of them?...;)

Sorry to hear that.
Mr Grannybiker's been on a 2 day week for the last 5 weeks, = less than 1/2 pay. They've just gone back to 5 days, but the old finances have taken a bit of a battering.
Good job we don't go in for excessive Christmas overindulgences!

RE the "Want" for nappies. Am appalled by someone begging on Freecycle for items that will eventually contribute to overloading landfill- don't they see the irony / how fundamentally wrong this is? Nah, daft question. As long as they're getting stuff for free, they don't care! Have they never heard of budgeting or planning ahead? No, another daft question- the state / council / parents etc will provide!
(Oh dear, what a grumpy Grannybiker I'm becoming!)
