Cant give clothes away!

I think the recession must be over,I live in a supposedly "deprived" yet have tried to give my sons old baby clothes away and no one wants them admittedly they are only mainly next no designer labels, I didnt want to sell them and didnt want to do a car boot sale I just thought that they would help someone out that had had baby boy oh well they will have to go in the next charity bag instead.

    Where were you trying to give them away, FreeCycle? Round here, people are always asking for baby clothes.

    It is so anoying; I've listed clothes and shoes to give away on Freecycle and no one wanted them. Last time I dropped off some stuff at the charity shop, all I've got was "Oh, another bag to sort out!" in a p***** off voice. :rolleyes:

    our local hospital used to take baby/kids clothes too
