    just had a big 'missed it' panic attack
    :eek:
    Taken - Whiskey Bottle

    Large empty whisky bottle has been taken. Thankyou to all who responded I never dreamed it would be so popular.

    then spotted EMPTY, so panic over.:D

    very popular for saving loose change in, so no wonder they had a lot of requests.

    I have used freecycle a few times now. I have got a wine rack, a set of nonstick saucepans and today I got a dinning table and four chairs !! All items were pretty good condition and I collected them as I arranged. I have offered a set of axil stands and they were collected from me in about 1/2 hour. I think it is a FANTASTIC site !!!
    Who cares if a few people are asking for a car or a caravan ? LOL
    ;) Borrow money from pessimists- they don't expect it back. ;)

  • HI
    IM LOOKING FOR A FRUIT MACHINE AND A BIG BBQ
    FOR MY FAMILY GET TOGETHER PUB THEME BBQ .


    Again no please or thank you!

    I'm assuming the next request from this person will be a few kegs of beer and a whole pig for the spit roast. I guess they'll be asking for the spit roast too!

    Do you actually remember what freecycle is for? To stop stuff going into landfill............
    This bloke is polite, gives good information and you take the p1ss, because he can't fix his own washing machine, but wants to give it to someone who could fix it.
    For me this is the essance of freecycle.

    On our list people often post for broken/non working stuff to use as spares for the stuff they have. We have had wanteds for broken plates, non-working washing machines, non-starting mot-failure motorbikes (and some offered too) and all have them been taken.
