The same poster has now revised their list of wants to the following (its not urgent now though)

Looks to me like the only thing she's got from the original list are the two scooters.
Interesting priorities!

How can she "work long hours" AND be "made immediately redundant" surely its one or the other, not both

Time Line

She didn't realise she was pregnant due to the long hours she works :rotfl: and now she does know she's pregnant she's been made redundant.

Why bother with Freecycle when there's obviously a huge case for discrimination there . Made redundant as soon as you find your pregnant :eek:

I cna't believe no one has been kind enough to offer a brand new £66 Storio or any brand new £17 games. People just aren't as thoughtful as they used to be, are they?

I recently offered 2 high sleepers and was inundated with replies. Most people wanted both with quite a few only having 1 child but want the other as a "spare"
I offered one to a man who only wanted one and his email was so polite, he rang straight away and was over the moon.

I offered the other one to someone who asked for both and her reply was "well if I can't have both there is no point in having 1 cos the kids will argue" :eek:

Well, of course. A spare chocolate fountain is JUST the thing all of us tend to have lying around the house and cluttering up space. NOT!

Actually they may well do, people but these things and put them in the back of the kitchen cupboard after a few months.

A chocolate fountain is such an object.

This is how Freecycle works, the wanted post remind people that they may have it somewhere and they consider that they no longer need or want it but have just never bothered about it.

I got a Senseo coffee maker this way, someone no longer used it.
I use it daily now.

Then when the person gets their chocolate fountain they may well offer it back to someone else on Freecycle when they have got bored of it. Exorcise bikes being a typical example
