Freecycle

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!"A cat can have kittens in the oven, but that don't make them biscuits." - Mary Cooper

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'.:grouphug: A smile, a 'please' and a 'thank you' cost nothing0 -
