    "I am looking for 6 under the worktop fridge/freezers (ones with bigger
    fridge and little freezer compartment at top)

    and a free standing oven with the hob attatched on top.

    I need this desperately as they are to furnish rented accomodation so
    must be in good working order.

    if any one can help me please email and if possible send a picture too.

    thanks in advance"


    Now that is taking the p***!!

    Does anyone have any reasonably long lengths of mains flex (13a decent
    power rating) - I need to fit longer leads to some 4-way extension
    leads due to moving house!!!

    A single poster on ours wants...............(in the one post by the way but did say please in their title):-
    Hi all, I'm looking for a few things today -

    First of all I'm looking for a Fridge if anyone has a spare one lying
    about that still works as I had to put mines in the skip this morning
    and dont have one anymore.

    I'm also looking for a PC tower as mines has decided to pack up and not
    work anymore.

    Also if anyone has a spare Tumble Dryer as mines went in the skip this
    morning also.

    Lastly if anyone has a spare dog/cat bed as my cat just had kittens and
    theyre growing out of the moses basket we have them in at the minute.

    I'm in Forfar and could pick up from almost anywhere, if anyone could
    help me it would be much appreciated and I'd be very grateful.

    Thanks

    Do you think she would mind if I asked for one of her kittens as I'd love one or would that be taking the preverbial?

    Welcome back all you funny posters, I was a bit worried this thread wouldnt be funny any more, but :beer: wahey here you are :j :j :j

    On the issue of wanted posts, if you go on Bedford freecycle it is mostly wanteds, the occasional offered (snapped up and gone in seconds)and very rarely recieveds (with thanks). The same people tend to offer and everyone else just seems to want, want, want. The trouble is, the offered stuff is gone in a flash (specially the tvs) so what choice is there? :mad:

    i would very politely email the mods, and advise them that you feel there are far too many wanteds going through, and couldn't a limit be made on them. with no satisfactory response, email the wider group (addy is on the main freecycle page) and see what they think.
    there is alway the problem with offereds going fast, its one of the reasons, as i've mentioned before, i put on all my offereds that i won't chose for 24 hours, to give everyone a chance, as some people only get on in evening, or during the day, so feel this gives a fairer chance. i just wish others would do it, as i only have access during the day, i miss the chance of a lot of what is offered in the evening as there are always takens posted again before morning.

    for any make/model.

    He can collect any evening after 5pm from any area

    Many thanks in advance for all your help

    Kind regards

    then by another user
    Hi does anybody have any charity badges they no longer need/want?

    I love charity badges and enjoy collecting them

    I can collect any time after 5pm from any area

    Many thanks in advance for all your help

    Kind regards

    *****

    and few days earlier by another
    Please could anyone help me. I'm looking for a PDA in good working
    order for my wife. Its her birthday soon and she would really like
    one but unfortunately money is tight at the moment. Any make and model
    PDA would be gratefully appreciated.
    I can collect any evening after 5pm,
    Thankyou so much for all your help
    Kind regards
    ********

    got the feeling this is a sneaky way to post more wanteds.

    edited to add, had a look at all users and they have all posted nothing but wanteds.
