    On my Freegle yesterday: ''Wanted, gas BBQ with bottle, can you make sure there's gas in the bottle please as we have people coming round for a BBQ so this is urgent.'' To make matters worse they ended their 'urgent' plea with "Lol, thanx"!! Why on earth would you invite people round for a barbie, and not actually have a BBQ??! Crazy!

    We are after a Sat Nav, as we are visiting friends over the school hols, and we have not got the foggiest where to go, lol.

    Secondly, any garden toys, namely an 8ft Trampoline with enclosure, in good nick, and maybe an hand delivering it, if not collapsible, as we only have a smallish car, lol.

    Slightly shocked to have NO responses to my latest Offer... in a week since posting:

    3 items,

    One decent quality bit of kitchen equipment
    One unused set of vacuum cleaner accessories, worth at least £15
    One niche bit of IT equipment.

    I'd thought at least the first one would get some interest!
    My TV is broken! :cry:
    Edit: refunded £515 for TV 1.5 years out of warranty - thank you Sale of Goods Act! :j

    half a dozen Sat Navs wanted in our group in the last couple of days now, irony being they want them to take their kids out over the school holidays and post can collect "anytime, anywhere". I would assume then if they can cleverly find their way to collect these items finding the way to Chester Zoo etc isn't really a stretch is it ;)

    Maybe nobody took their kids out before Sat Navs? Maybe atlas's have been banned now? curiouser and curiouser lol

    And while I'm ranting, you want a FREEZER not a FREZZER and that cage you are looking for? Its going to be a rarity as there is no such animal as a HAMPSTER

    My sister very generously offered a brand new blackberry mobile. She was given one through her business but already had one, couldn't be bothered to sell it. As you can imagine she got inundated with requests, she eventually chose a lady who had been a victim of theft and desperately needed a new phone. Can you believe this woman never turned up to collect it?! My sister even emailed to see if she wanted to rearrange collection but she never replied. I wonder if she thought there must be a catch and too good to be true?
