    We are looking for a bunk bed. Are there any out there?

    Just posted on my local freecycle.

    Tempted to answer with extremely sarcastic reply, but not sure I can be bothered. Do these people actually get the things they ask for?

    Hi by the way :D First post here but I've been reading (normally crying with laughter!) for a week or so.

    Edited to add another:
    Hi, I have a leaking shed so need some felt to patch it up and also if
    anyone has any 12 inch lead flashing I would be able to pick up
    anytime.

    Where's the problem? Never run out of milk and her windows are spotless :rotfl: She needs to place an ad in the classifieds: Mum of 2 WLTM NS male who works in Halfords..... :rotfl:

    Why stop at Halfords? Skip the roof box - surely a people carrier is required !

    ok, one to ponder and which i'd like some advice. someone has just posted a recieved with numerous items listed(5 to be exact) that they have had over last couple of days. they have never posted an offered or a wanted. and they are onlyon who as asked for something i've offered. do i hang on and see if someone else asks, give it them, or just leave it a while and re-post?
    what do you all think?

    Report them to the mods for breaking the rules - NO wanted = NO received
