    Hmmm .. quandary ... so what do I do ?

    So I've only had two people apply for my item , neither of who'm were overly polite/pleasant or friendly about it.

    So do I not gift it / Do I want it sat around just because of it :think:

    what would you do ?
    Hate and I do mean Hate my apple Mac Computer - wish I'd never bought the thing
    Do little and often
    Please stop using the word "of" when you actually mean "have" - it's damned annoying :mad:

    I would do a search on freecycle for each of them.
    Have they posted any offers
    Have they posted wanteds that are too frequent, too long, high value.
    Wait a bit longer to see if anyone else turns up.
    Hang on to it for a bit longer then post the offer again.

    Or if you just want rid of your crap give it to the one who's name has the most vowels

    Yes but if I give it to a charity shop the money goes to a good cause not to the fat lazy **********[/QUOTEI think that last remark was uncalled for
    2008 won £5119.04 :j

    All together now..........

    sorry but I'm with dobbiesloan on this as well, when I give to a charity I want it to go to the cause. You dont need the latest top of the range Merc to run a charity.
    I gave a lot of stuff to a local hospice because i KNOW that the majority of funds go to fund the 'care' and the admin costs are held as low as practically possible. I checked their accounts some time ago.
