Do you have a link for the swapping group Cinders, does it cover Bristol?

It's done by county and we are in Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Dorset and Wiltshire.
All but the Somerset one, they are really new groups so not many members yet.
We've been trying to get the mods from other Freecycles to put us in their Links section on their Freecycle to boost numbers.
Some have....others are a little unsure!

I think Bristol would be North Somerset so there is not a separate group there yet as Somerset in general is there that would be your nearest.
Some members border two counties so they join two!
Umm..... link..... I suppose it's ok to put it here.
If not, i'm sure it can be removed by our MSE'ers in charge.

Just change the county for the other groups.

Getting back to Freecycle, we have 4000+ members now and I think they are happy with their Freecycle experiences.
We've weedled out a few spammers and harvesters that made their way into the group before it was changed to approved membership, so our members are better protected than before.

It's so nice to get members posting back saying Received with Thanks, and then a little message as to how greatful they are to the person who gave them their needed item.
Freecycle is so good.

absolutly loads, i think the best was a brand new freezer worth about £300!! t was intergrated and I'm guessing they just didn''t want it.
things I've given away,
TV
Beds
Bunk bed
Books
Clothes
Various bits of furniture
Hamster cages
Swing
Guinea pig cage and run
A lot of the things I freecycle were from there in the first place so my lists are virtually the same!! I also picked up a sky box the other day and now have free sky tv

scaty

gave away
photography bits & pieces - oldish stuff
diving fins
ski stuff - really didn't like being out of control hurtling down a mountain:eek:
getting rid of juicer - from anther freecycler. I was warned about it being a more trouble than it was worth.

had given to me
wood - lots of this
coal - sooo lucky with this, it was before fires became cool/economic again
slow cooker
bread machine
sewing machine

I liked the thought of things having a new life else where:rotfl:

I LOVE freecycle!! I've only given away a couple of things, a boys bike and a lamp. But I have so thankfully recieved loads for my first home. Including a recinling chocolate leather sofa, a futon, a wardrobe and mircowave! :j Also got an electric fir for my parents and some books for my brother.

I love everything about it, the recycling and not wasting, and the getting cool stuff free!!
