I really wish Olio was more of a thing round us - it's not though, and I suspect if it was, too many folk would see it as a way of getting shot of stuff they are too lazy to take to the tip rather than passing on genuinely nice things that they no longer have a use for.🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

They'll still have to take it to the tip if there are no takers @EssexHebrideanand if they're deceitful they'll get a bad rating. They'd have to move to another area for shame.
