    was just browsing my local freecycle and was slightly taken aback when one post was titled 'wanted house'

    hi i am currently looking for a 3 or 4 bed private rented house with large garden for myself and 4 young children one of whom has autism if you know of anyone or have a property yourself you wish to let out please get in touch also need to accept housing benefits too many many thanks k xx

    errrr not entirely sure that's the best place for it!

    Our group has a Freegle Cafe where posts can be made For Sale, Can I Borrow?, Does Anyone Know?, Come to our event, etc. That would be where a post like this should go.

    I've had some great recommendations for workmen from the Cafe.
  • Hi we have just moved home and r u desprate need of a dishwasher,As funds r tight x...

    Ok call me old-fashioned but since when did a dishwasher become so essential that people get "desperate" if they don't have one? I presume they have a sink so what's wrong with some rubber gloves, washing up liquid and a scrubbing brush? :cool:

    Call me old fashioned as well but I wouldn't be able to respond to someone who can't be bothered to write the request out in full.
    The amount of non essential needs are quite staggering, I mentioned one earlier for a television that was needed.

    at a guess:
    :cool: 2 broken washing machines - no moters and have rot
    :cool: 2 sandwich toasters - (probably as above)
    :cool: small portable cooker
    :cool: 3 sofas (or maybe a 3-seater) and 4 chairs dating back to 1874 (yea course they are!!)
    :cool:a bathroom stand
    loves how my "I've been censored" signature has been censored. LOL. Happy Christmas. :xmastree:
