    Have a great week Claire :wave:

    Phew, my daughter and I have just listed 18 things on eBay, and three things on Freecycle. it is a boring job but I am hoping some of it will sell at least.

    One of the freecycle items has been collected, the other two will go tomorrow :T

    Hi Scaredy - I find freecycle very easy to use. We haven't had a ny problems with it, although some people can be a bit cheeky, such as asking you to deliver or giving you their phone number for you to ring them (thereby costing you money to give something for nothing!)

    But in general very handy for getting rid of stuff.

    It might be the group in your particular area? Mine seems to be ok but I know there was some big problem going on which is why some groups changed their name from freecycle to freegle?

    Mine has stayed as freecycle and I am not aware of any problems with it.
