Setting up a house freebies anyone?!

Hi,

My friend and I have just bought a house by the skin of our teeth and are looking for anything that can help cut the initial costs! Does anyone know of anything? Things like trial bottles of cleanign products etc would be great but also anything else that may help

Thanks :)

  • You could register on Freecycle ...........

    http://www.freecycle.org/

    browse the local freecyclers, there's always plenty on our local one.

    You can get a discount from B&Q for a certain time after you've just moved house I think. Worth checking out.

    Actually it might have been Focus, as I've just found it here. 10% off for the 6 mths after you've moved in. Click here

    B&Q possibly offer it too.
