    a good home needed for our 2yr old rotti (leo). asap preferably before
    friday as were moving and new property will not allow. he has a lovely
    temprement and is fine with the children in our family also fine with
    other dogs both small and large. i dont want to write this in fear of
    upset but it needs to be stated. leo does not agree with those of a
    black minority (sorry) this is due to him being mistreated when young.
    ourselves and leo will need to meet new owners prior to exchange so
    that we can asure a good home is given.
    £50 will secure
    no time wasters please.

    Totally against the rules - both in terms of selling on freecycle and advertising livestock. Needs reporting to the Mods

    oops yea i should have mentioned, this was from the local "bargain board" which isn't officially linked to freecycle. it started off as "nearly free cycle" but was recently renamed

    you could probably find a good home for your gutter too ;)
    Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it.
    Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.

    My freecycle group has been quite sensible just lately. This is the best of the lot!
    am putting this message here for my son. It may be a long-shot but.....

    He wants to know if anyone has any Helly Hansen, Henry Lloyd or Lacoste,
    clothes that anyone is giving away. He is size medium but doesn't mind large
    clothes as he prefers them baggy.

    He is after tracksuits, coats, t-shirts, or anything that's going really.

    He would really appreciate your help. He is a poor student going through his
    GCSE's at the moment and is hoping to get a job afterwards to earn his own
    money.

    If you think you may have something else he might like, please e-mail me and
    I shall ask him.

    Thank you for reading this message.

    Hope the job he gets pays well enough to keep him supplied with Lacoste etc. !! Take him down to Asda, I say...:rotfl:

    probably a bit of a long shot but has anyone got a car and /or caravan we can have to take a break this summer.

    think probably is a bit optomistic, think it’s a very long shot

    right, so he's prepared to drive about 30 miles (judging on where he lives and which site he's posted on) - possibly more - for a bag full of toys which he will then take to the charity shop.....? Ummmmm, so why don't I take them to my local charity shop myself and save him the trip.....????:D

    Am I missing something do you think;)

    Wanted - leather sofa

    I know this is a big ask, but was wondering if anyone has one they no
    longer need it doesn't have to be perfect. Our fabric one is looking
    awful as we've had it a long time now lol can pick up


    Sure you wouldn't like matching armchairs/particular colour?? So grateful you don't need me to deliver it :p :rolleyes:
    :rotfl: :T :rotfl: oh Pam, I think this thread is getting to you :rotfl: :T

    Hi folks! Some of you out there are bound to have one or two of the
    following…
    Blah blah blurb yadda
    GIVE ME YOUR STUFF
    That's all I can think off for now!

    :eek: CHEEKY BEGGAR (to borrow a phrase!)
    maybe i'm just being dom but.....all posts to our freecycle go through a moderator who decides whether to post them or not, i've forgot to put my area on them before and get them send back to ammend before they get posted, sooooo how are these random toilet/euro/new house requests getting through?
    ..................:T an excellent question! :cool: Shhhh though, you'll have the pedants demanding a democracy again, which it's not!!

    Just thought.... if he got a few more portaloos off freecycle, he could grab the 300 stools so people had somewhere comfy to queue up.... he could make a fortune if he charged 20p a time to use the facilities......:D

    :rotfl: :T :rotfl: love it!
    Posted to my local group tonight. Dont know whats funnier, his request or his typo!!!!
    I'm pretty certain thats NOT a typo! :eek:

    I thought I'd return this thread to the topic, and if you're one of the unhappy Freecyclers,
    have a read here

    :)

    Thanks, always good to have an alternative. I can't help thinking that the claims of everyone being lovely and polite are slightly exaggerated though. We are after all only dealing with the same set of human beings...I can't imagine dontdumpthat.com attracts a better class of non-dumper? And trust me, we're NOT unhappy any more :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Heheh, I am quite addicted :D

    Still, unlikely to be back on until Thursday (working away the next two days and I'll probably have chewed down all my nails wondering what's ben posted ;) )
    you do know you will have a bald patch and about 20 pages to catch up on by then? Don't you have a laptop with WiFi? I think you should place a wanted ad for one so you can keep up even when you are out and about...
    OK so I'm offering something, fairly low value, and I get an email from someone interested and full email reads:

    Is this still available

    Louise


    So I figure :think: :think: :think: hmmmm :think::think::think:

    OK so were going for brevity - I can do that too. So my full reply was:


    yes


    LMAO :T , I've had this before and my full reply was...


    no
    (oh and Morty remember on the day bubba decides to arrive it's the only time where the NHS will let you have virtually as many drugs as you like free at their expense - My Advice as a mother of 3 sons (last one was premature and over 10lbs in weight - TAKE THEM!!!!!!!)

    Ah no, i'm going for TENS, gas and air and a water birth...:eek: :rotfl: Honest Guv!



    And thats all folks. 2 wanted ads for moving boxes, 12 received/taken posts and 9 offereds this morning. The mods keep asking people to STOP posting taken/received ads as they clutter up the boards, yet they KEEP letting them through our fully moderated site!!
