    Egg incubator......... they should have said, but in their world, incubator only means one thing.

    Do you see what I am saying, if you don't want it, don't ask for it. Which makes you taking the mickey out of this person asking for a sofa a bit silly.

    I do see what ou're saying but they're not just asking for a sofa (I assume they need something to sit on) but a particular type (or colour) of sofa.

    Maybe it is just me but if I needed a sofa in the next two weeks and it was a choice of a cream one or nothing I'd take the cream one :confused:

    OK, say you move into a house and you need a new sofa, you want to keep something out of landfill, so you ask on freecycle for a sofa............. OK
    You don't want a cream one, because fgs even I don't want one. So you ask for another dark colour, after a couple of weeks, you will give in and buy a new one for yourself.
    So, you want to keep a sofa out of landfill, you don't want to buy a new one.......... so you give it two weeks, if one hasn't turned up by then, you will buy a new one and probably watch someone drive to the tip as you go to buy it, dumping one you would want.........

    But surely they'd have Freecycled it first ;)

    I think we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one :beer:

    Now this is evil but you could email him at 3 o'clock this afternoon stating that yes he CAN have the items but ONLY if he picks up today at 12 minutes past 11 this morning.....then email him every 10 minutes after 3 asking why he didn't pick the items up this morning as you waited in for him. :rotfl: :rotfl:

    In the past I have taken most things offered (if you turn it down you might not get the next offer) and it will be fantastic to have something new.
    As far as chairs, sofas or settees offered in the past, my criteria has been
    'can I park my @r$e on it without being accosted by an errant spring'
    OK, when do you want it moved? it's better than what we have
