    Lots of good offereds on my groups today - kids bikes, trainers and clothes including school uniforms/blazers. With the cost of these things, I should think there'll be a lot of relieved parents around !!

    On a serious side, whats the point buying one if they is one lying around somewhere collecting dust and someone would only be to pleased to give away.

    welcome to the thread, were all pretty friendly here (with the odd exception, lol)
    i hate the lack of manners people wanting stuff have, drives me mad.

    Hello folks, another wish list!

    Still after plastic roofing for that greenhouse I'm ever getting
    round to starting. Oh and those bendy desk lamps I asked for last
    time!

    I'd also like an office chair with wheels. Beggars can't be choosey,
    but it can't be very big as my computer is now fitted into a built in
    cupboard. I'd really like an old 70s style office one if at all poss.

    I'm still after plants. If your clearing a garden or splitting larger
    plants then please send them my way. Were in a rented house and the
    garden aint up to much. It is quite bland and whenever a dandy lion
    pops up and adds a bit of interest my partner is out there pulling it
    up!

    At the end of July I'm having a garden party. Before then I'd like to
    get my hands on a fridge freezer. Dose not matter what it looks like
    so long as it works. I have no room in our fridge or freezer for
    party food. It will stand in out shed for a couple of weeks then will
    be straight back on freecycle on the 29th July.

    Any paint would be great too. White emulsion or gloss, and black
    emulsion or fence paint too, but anything considered really. My
    collection of sheds on my allotment need a lick!

    :mad: no doubt they'll be ''desperately needing'' a plasma tv to go with the dvd player. Hope the Mods take that ignoramus to task.

    I relented last night and offered an item on Freecycle - as its electrical, the charity shops wouldn't have taken it, couldn't be bothered selling it for a few quid, seemed a shame to tip it.
    Got 6 replies within half an hour - 5 along the lines of 'I'll have it' or 'I'll take it' and 'I'll pick it up tomorrow 6pm - send address'.
    One wrote a short pleasant email to say how glad she would be if she got it, and thanks for considering her request.

    No prizes guessing who's getting it :D

    Hello and welcome!

    The lack of manners is a huge issue. For God's sake they cost nothing!
