    Actually you can buy an electric breast pump- using that search criteria, very easily. It's to do with feeding babies- which is a lot more natural than inflating breasts to appeal to blokes. :D

    Isn't "inflating breasts to appeal to blokes" a crucial part of the process of producing babies? :D

    hello
    my flat mate has gone away for a few days and left his room open. To encourage him to lock up in future we're planning to wrap everything in his room in newspaper. Bed, books, curtains, walls, floor, ceiling, door everything.
    If you have a large amount of newspaper you could donate to this worthy cause please let me know. Ideally in the city centre area although i am willing to travel to pull this off.
    Thanks

    loveeee it!!!!!!!!

    I have to admit that I posted for a 50/60's style gplan type sideboard, a year or so ago, we were so pleased to get three responses, we evetually travelled a four hour round trip trip to get it. The couple were lovely, they had it since his student days, so it needed to be completely stripped and re-oiled. We love it, we cut a hole in the back, so we could put our stereo in it ( we would never have done that with a new one), it fits all ours Lps too. To us a bit of a style statement, we love that era, it's sits very proudly in our living room. Sometimes Frecycle does work, but I agree with all the post about rudness and no shows, had a few of those but getting that sideboard from such a lovely family was what freecycle really should be about.
  • A agree with scoobs. A few months ago we posted a wanted for an old-style tv for DD's GCSE art exam. We were contacted by an elderly lady and drove out to her house where we picked up and old, white portable tv with push-button channel changers that she had unearthed from her garage! The lady was very concerned that she hadn't tested it to see if it was working and it didn't have a remote control but DD explained that she only wanted it to take apart as part of her art installation piece, and it fitted the bill perfectly - she got an A! :D

    So when Freecycle works, it rocks!!

    There was a post on our Freecycle the other day looking for Imagine DS games...

    Exactly, still sitting in the pending pile .. makes you wonder where the pony is now (back garden ?), if they aint got adequate stabling for it now .. what they going to do for hay/straw/feed/bedding when it starts snowing and the weather gets really harsh . ?
