Swapping Sites

Hi Guys,

I have discovered freecycle and am really impressed. Are there any other similar? Are there any swapping sites that don't bring up anything rude?? lol.

I am in the West Midlands

Thanks Suzanne

www.swapz.co.uk one I found recently

https://www.dontdumpthat.com I prefer to freecycle as I like the forum based site rather than the squillion emails, tends to get less 'OTT' requests aswell.

You can change your settings on Freecycle to stop getting squillions of emails

Go to "Edit membership" (just above your group's name on your home page) and then change your setting from "individual emails" to either "Daily digest" - which is a single digest mail with up 25 posts inside it; or change to "Special notices" which are only ones sent out by your Moderators - often only one or two a month.

This would let you read on line from the "Messages" link on the left of every page.

Hi
Suzanne's comment about 'rude sites' made me laugh.
Sometime last year, I had my stepson staying for a few weeks, he asked if he could use my PC to look for information about the Compulsory Bike Test. I got google up for him & went to makea cuppa. He shouted through to the kitchen 'I'm going to type in C B T, as that's what they call it' I ran from the kitchen to the study at the speed of sound & managed to turn the screen off before any info came up. I sent him to make the tea & typed in the full title & found a page of appropriate information.
I really didn't fancy explaining the alternative meaning to him. If this has anyone flummoxed I should explain that CBT can also stand fot C*ck & B*ll Torture!!
I know this because my son did exactly the same search a year earlier & the results made his eyes water.
