This thread has been making me smile.

I hadn't been on Freegle for a while and this thread prompted me to have a quick look. This one was on the front page:

I am desperate for any mannequins etc or shop fitting supplies?? Slatwall/units
etc?? Thanks

I get asking for a mannequin for ebay or whatever, but trying to kit out a whole shop? :rotfl:

Generally though I can't really blame people for trying it on - but there's no excuse not to be polite about it. I posted a wanted for a concrete sectional garage - and was quite surprised when I got one! Had to buy a set of doors for it and there was one panel missing but I wasn't complaining, given it saved me a fair bit (I was very very polite in my request and thank you email as well)

Another teen leaving things to the last minute?

My son has just discovered he will be studying An Inspector Call by J.B Priestly. Is there anyone out there who has a copy they no longer need?

Today on my work for sale wanted board someone posted asking for a free blackberry for their child, as they had broken theirs.

I had a little 'eye roll' moment when I read that. People do post asking for free things, but it's usually the social workers asking for things for care leavers (children leaving foster care into their own place) or people moving from the streets into their first accomodation. They will ask for basics like old furniture, cutlery, mugs, cups, etc. They usually can find at least some of what the client needs. So to compare that to a child needing a Blackberry? I thought it was a little much.

Hello all , my daughter has just moved into her first house and is in need of
living room furniture, the only problem is it would have to be able to fit
through a narrow door, ideally something from Ikea as this can usually be taken
apart (flatpacked) and is modern , collection can be arranged
many thanks

Fancy someone building a house that you can get furniture in


and we have this one

WANTED URGENTLY: GAZEBO, LARGE CUSHIONS, OUTSIDE LIGHTING, FAIRY LIGHTS

My Beautiful Daughter is having an after Prom Party at our house.

She and her friends want to have a bohemian them, we are putting our tent up but
the weather is going to be rainy so we really need to cover the garden so they
can be outside.

We would REALLY be grateful for donation of ANY of the items named.... I can

Bean bags would be excellent too....
Thank you so much

I would tell the daughter to get her friends to bring some stuff with them.

And this one which I find a little strange

Desperately seeking a double pushchair please for my grandkids. Their mum has
just started voluntary work in a charity shop and it means my son can't get out
the house with the kids. Please if anyone has one they no longer need it'll b a
godsend to them.
Thanks for reading and I can collect on their behalf.

Books get grabbed up quickly on ours. The thing that annoys me the most is people giving animals away and some group mods being too snotty to enforce a no animal policy.

WANTED: Wine glasses

I would like odd/unwanted wine glasses preferably crystal but glass is ok; a
friend of mine regularly breaks his on the taps, and I have offered to help him
to re-stock, now he is down to one!

Maybe his friend should stop drinking lol

This made me smile today:

"Carrier bag of magic tricks, suitable for beginner, not too sophisticated but better than the ones you can get in toy shops. All very old but not used a lot, had them for ages but could not get round to practising the art of magic. Remember! The art of prestidigitation (magic) is to keep the tricks secret please do not tell your friends how it is done."

(Spelling corrections mine.)
