    Re the questions about Data Protection, as someone who works in this field, you should say no as it is a definite security risk. You didn't agree to the moderators having this information when you signed up to the group and therefore it is against the law and unethical for them to ask or store such information. And you should ask them how safe their computers are and what Data Protection Act training they have received.

    Thank you!!!

    They haven't replied to my post or to my emails yet either!!

    I couldn't care less what people do with anything I offer on Freecycle, as long as it's out of my hair :D

    I must get back into this decluttering malarkey.
    Why do I need to keep all the boxes that mobile phones come in :confused: especially as when I change mine, OH usually ends up with my old one which he either loses or breaks.

    In: nothing
    Out: Loads of cardboard for recycling (they come in the morning)
    Plastic for recycling
    2 carrier bags of rubbish.

    Out over the last few days:

    Bag of shredding which I bought into work and did here, none of it had bank details on and we had a backlog at home ;)

    2 tops and a box I'd saved for packaging off to an ebay buyer (and made almost all the money back on them - bought in the January Sales but I've got smaller since then)

    1 book sold on Amazon.
