No no no, the way to go for old well worn smelly holey (not in the religious sense) sox is to flog em on ebay. You could always donate the proceeds to the charity on freecycle which needed kebabs for their kids.

Have any of you been reading this thread?

It makes entertaining reading and definitely food for thought! (PS I got 99p for mine plus P&P. Can't believe I sold them, on way to the post office shortly to post them.

bones61 - sorry to here about your job, hope something turns up soon, and I mean more than a laptop if requested on freecycle. You might manage a whole wireless set up if you ask nicely! Please and thank you works wonders with me.

Good luck with the job hunting when your ready. (((hugs)))

i think it'd take a while to list them all on ebay, they all have such "moving" (sorry bad pun) stories behind them, and i'd want them to go to a loving home.

Have you asked the almost ex Mrs Mac................;)

How would that happen then, most messages are posted directly!
It is only a few members who are new or not sure of the posting rules that need help where Mods might see the message first.

It still doesn't mean they get an item as the idea is to wait 24 hours to collect all replies then choose someone to have your gift.

dont agree that mods get first dibs on items at all, and even if they did, they don't get paid for doing it so i don't blame them for trying for all the time they spend at all different hours of the day.

Nothing to do with whether they are paid or not
THEY in 99% of casses DO NOT pick out good offers.
you only have to look at all the messages to see it wouldn't work!
Especially where people thank the person for taking away their 'Junk'

the previous correspondent must supply proof of thhis outrageous statement!
thanks for letting me comment

back garden and also a portable fishing/camping cooker and some fencing
to put a little fence up in my back yard and a trampoline and sand pit
shell style if anyone could help that would be great thanks "

"Hi,
very long shot I know, but does anyone have a Mini Cooper they no longer
want? Condition doesn't matter at all, I'm willing to put in a lot of work
to bring one of these beautiful machines back to its former glory!"

"1) String of 40 fairy lights - I'm after the white ones that twinkle,
suitable for indoor use
2) A hedgetrimmer
3) A freeview box
4) A food processor (I have a jug blender but it refuses to blend most
things!)

I have no transport, but can collect using public transport / taxis, or
would of course be exceedingly grateful to anyone who can deliver."

"I've moved and have found there is 2 or 3 things I am in need of and
because I am going to be on a budget for a month or so wouldn't be
able to find them cheap enough or for pennies.

shopping list)

* Plastic Storage (boxes or drawers)

* Letterbox for front door (brass in colour), brass doorknocker

* A smallish shed (apprx. 4ft x 5ft), I have got stuff in the sehd
still at my old house with nowhere for it to go at my new house.

window, this is only if you are getting rid of one that is being
replaced and to save something decent going to the tip. Needs to be
in good condition where possible.

* Someone with a van who could help me move some boxes and a
recliner from my old house to storage or to my new house (need this

All my other requests however, I expect to be granted regardless of how often you use the item and how recently you bought the item, so get digging htese things out so I can furnish my ENTIRE life!!

To quote Catherine Tate: WHAT a F****** liberty!

i got a small freezer tonight and the man carried it 1/4 mile down a very steep hill with his friend to save me going back to get my neighbours trolley.
