    I have just collected something that we really really needed from freecycle today. I got it from an ad posted not a wanted ad and I am absolutely made up! This is the first thing I have rec'd from freecycle (but I have offered a few things) and it's made such a difference to us, you wouldn't believe it if I told you! We could never have afforded to buy one (well not without many months of saving - we estimated just over a year to get the money!) so I am on cloud nine!

    Nah - that one's done and dusted. However, I shan't mention fluffy things with whiskers, that scamper through the fields any more ...

    I will!!
    My friend's got a nursery - plants not kids!
    She's plagued with the dear fluffy things. Nibble her plant stock everyday- they just leave stalks! Costing her a small fortune.
    She's had men in with ferrets and guns(?!) but the bunnies keep breeding (as they do) and coming back.

    Go on - I'm expecting someone to say 'how cruel'.

    well done for being chosen, glad you are so happy with it (Guess you're not gonna tell us what it is)

    You can't leave us in suspense - tell us what you've got!

    Go on, you know you want to!

    Is this the one:

    Take two damp cloths, a glass (or mouthful equivalent) of wine, 1tbs olive oil.... oh - and a bunny rabbit......Stir fry for..........

    I wouldn't bother - tried it - too hard to digest. (And the bunny kept jumping out of the wok)
