Freecle / freecycle and balloons on sticks

"WANTED: Anything (Brighton or anywhere)"

Brilliant - what can we all offer them?

Something so brilliantly random and useless. Each getting more and more wacky? :rotfl::rotfl:

I've got a knackered toaster in Exeter....Any advances?

Our free cycle is very organized about computers.

Basically they all go to one guy. He takes them working or not. He does them up and then he runs a sort of waiting list. You register explaining why you want one and what it is for and they go based on need. Each week he lists who has had one, how to donate yours and how to join the list. Some weeks he does 20 plus. Sometimes he advertises for bits he wants- usually flat screen monitors or speakers.

Sonetimes a newbie doesn't get it but mostly that's how it happens.

That sounds like a brilliant idea.

We had this today.

Received - Two Goats
The goats are here and settling in! They are both lovely. Thank you!!

Strangely I cant remember seeing a Goat offered. i even did a search and couldn't find the Offer.

Then even more Bizzare this evening from a different poster we get.

OFFER is a 8 year old FAANEN goat in need of a new home
I have a registered FAANEN goat on offer the goat is 8 years old and is still
good for breeding the goat needs to go to somewhere where there is shelter
because goats dont have a waterproof coat the goat has been kept as a pet but
the goat is lonley on its own so could do with some company

I'm still confused as I thought the point was to keep things from landfill. I have never seen a goat in landfill. Saying that they have the breed wrong they are Saanen goats (I'm not sure why I know that).

We have also just had this one

Wanted- double tailed goldfish

If anyone has a fancy goldfish (double tailed goldfish) of any variety which
needs a new home I'd be delighted to give him/her a space in my tank. I lost an
older large Oranda a few weeks ago and am intending to run the tank down, but it
looks very empty so if anyone has an older fish to fill the space I'd be very
pleased. Large, well maintained tank.
Thank you.

What a strange day.

Point being they are special, cute little hangers especially made for the outfits.


(bottom on is for shoes)

Anyway, they fit in the bear wardrobes etc and its easily possible to have more outfits than hangers so I understand why these were offered. If DD was still madly into them its something I would have asked for.

Are you by any chance on the Dudley freecycle? We have a member that does something similar

Earlier on the thread someone posted that they wondered if the freegle mods got first stab at things.

I have literally just posted an offer, a good one i think, it hasn't even appeared yet. I do however have two responses telling me they will 'have it', one sent from a Blackberry and one from an Iphone. Yet I don't expect my offer to go live until much later today.

I can't speak for other moderators, however being one myself, I have placed my own 'offer' posts and moderated it myself straight away and on several occasions it has been hours before it appears.

This is due to an occasional yahoo blip.
