  • perhaps a touch of wishful thinking- especially the 'new' bit:

    Hi

    I am searching for an original Samsung i5700 charger. If anyone has an old one they no longer need they would really help me out.
    Doesn't even need to work just be an original.

    Thanks in advance

    WHY?? (unless you are selling the phone and going to tell someone its working...even if faulty)
    loves how my "I've been censored" signature has been censored. LOL. Happy Christmas. :xmastree:
  • I once freecylcled a birthing pool, the girl was polite on her request email so I offered it to her. Her emails then went to abrupt, she couldn't collect and could I take it to her mums, who has a bad back so could I carry it to the garage... and so on... I thought I'd give her the benefit of the doubt, took it to her mums, who was quite annoyed to see me. Apparantly her daughter had been sending all sorts of things round to be put in her garage - without asking her or letting her know.

    Anyway eventually the mum said I could leave it, so I did, and I emailed the girl to point out (politely) how surprised her mum was to see me and she didn't even reply.

    A week later I found a few of the stoppers for the pool had rolled under some drawers in my bedroom - I thought about whether to let the girl know as I'm not sure the pool would be anygood without them - but in the end I didn't, and I felt absolutely great about it :D

    Apart from that I've found freecyle mostly really good - as long as I ignore the rude people :cool:

    GRRRR! Some people!

    They just do not seem to understand what volunteering to run the group involves and how we have our own lives to live.

    :(:(

    She was probably just going to eBay it anyway ... along with all the other stuff being sent to her mums for storage.
