Freecle / freecycle and balloons on sticks

You would have thought in the spirit of freecycling that he would have offered his broken xbox for use as spares, wouldn't you.
In all fairness he did say he would try to mow the lawns, I'm not sure though when he's going to find time to cut grass as well as all other projects.

This one made me chuckle:

WANTED: Rubber mallet - Oxford

I'm in Oxford. I'd like a rubber mallet. I'm in Oxford. I can collect from Oxford.

Oxford. I'm in Oxford.

Again, I'm in Oxford.

Despite posting to an OXFORD list, my message was rejected because I didn't specify the area. Hopefully this one will get through.

I'm in Oxford.

Yours Oxfordly,

Lol thats a bit mad, dont want much do they? And not to forget they spend all day on their XBOX, which they want to replace because they can't get out much due to their mobility problems.

Maybe they just wanted free things to give to their family/friends as Christmas presents.

And despite their disabilities, their family have had the nerve to ask THEM to host a Halloween party.

A very unusual one on ours:

'We are a lesbian couple looking for the chance to become parents. We don't need a father figure or any financial help. Just sperm only. We don't want any time wasters'
Fair play I guess but keeping it out of land-fil??

Cx

are they ( lesbian couple ) willing to "lend a hand" as it were !? :beer:

Just posted on ours, wanted silver cross coach built pram. Have you seen the price these go for now on ebay?

A lovely kind couple gave me and my partner one of these on Freecycle :-) They offered it though and picked us out of many replies. But goes to show.
