MSE Spring-cleaning thought...

Tiff_2

Hi guys!:wave:
I wasn't quite sure where to stick this tbh (now, now! ) and if it's been posted before, my apologies. I'll also post this on OS Moneysavers board just in case I'm in the wrong place.

I'm sure everyone knows about freecycle for the giving and receiving of unwanted items.
I wondered if we could have an MSE:money: version to post free helpful books, DVDs etc. on MSE - only topics/items or items that would help fellow posters, which people no longer want/need?
For example, new leaf was kind enough to post me a money-saving book she'd put up on the board last year and indeed, I will pass it on to another MSE fan.

So if you have any MSE helpful items - books, (NOT YOURS MARTIN!!!:eek: ), pamphlets, DVDs (like Fattitude -please Martin please!:D -for eg), or any kind of item that MSE forums deal with or would be helpful, could we post it somewhere on the forum to help MSE people first?
But no kitchen sinks or OHs!:rotfl:

Why not post it on the freebie board? Or how about posting on the relevant board itself - eg. if someone has some college text books, they could post it on the Students Moneysavers board?
I know the downside is postage but I'm sure Martin will pay!;) Or maybe only post the offer if you can afford a couple of stamps?

As far as confidentiality goes, you only have to put the person's name first, their house number on the next line (Number xxx) and then on the third line the recipient's postcode -all of which the poster who wants it can PM you for free.

It seems a shame to let all that unfound knowledge left to sit on a shelf? It's spring-cleaning time, so it's a good opportunity - what do you think guys?
Best wishes to all.
Much Love,
Tiff xxx

Unfortunately it is against the site rules see this:
