Now the laptop can be anything as long is has wifi so I can skype and is good condition.

And the 32" flatscreen tv must be suitable for the playroom.





Seriously though, why do they let these people on Freecycle? Grin

I'll give you a laptop if someone can give me off street parking and a downstairs toilet.

It's good this exchange thing, isn't it :o

Sure, right after someone gives me a Phil and Teds pram, and a moped to get to and from work.

I can do the off street parking, but don't expect me to weed it Grin

Is it a code for drugs transactions? Or sex clubs?

Otherwise it doesn't make sense, really.

Not that my great theory did, either.

There is a post on my local asking for a King Size Bed & Breeze Blocks.

Oooh, found an offer; Britax Carseat, For child 9-18kg weight. Conforms to BS 3254. In good condition and used for one child only, never in an accident, but over 20 years old now.

Why would you wait that long before getting rid of the carseat?

I'd rather like a three-bedroomed Victorian cottage. Not just anywhere, you understand but within a 100 yard radius of where I demand. Oh, and don't bother if the bathroom isn't white with sanded and waxed original floorboards. Thank you very much please.

I need an iphone 4 which has been got on a contract that is already paid for thank you. And party invitations for a 50th birthday party for someone called Mike who is going to be 50 this weekend. lol. and some chairs/other party miscellanea for said party.

Actually, I offered a washing machine, dishwasher and cooker on mine, and got hundreds of responses - most of them saying 'I'm a single parent with X children and my washing machine/oven/dishwasher broke down last night/this morning' (where X was always more than 3). I was quite shocked that so many white goods in my area were on the blink at the same time!

Awomancalledhorse - it's entirely possible that there is still a car seat in our loft - I know there's a cot. DS and DD are 23 and 21.

We did start sorting the loft out last summer, but then DS fell through the bathroom ceiling and it kind of got put on hold...

That's nothing, a friend of mine had someone posting the following on her local freecycle. Still makes me chuckle:

'I am currently looking for a narrow boat in any condition. If someone
has a narrow boat lying around that they no longer want or need I would
really appricate if you would like to Freecycle it to a passionate
narrow boat enthusiast such as myself!'

Bed stolen! Replacement urgently required! - Someone stole my bed whilst I was moving house! I need another double bed or mattress as soon as possible.

PS - Honeydragon - if you're in the right sort of are (commuter belt, near a sports or music arena, near some kind of tourist attraction) you might be able to make money renting out your driveway... :-)

In the last month we have had on my local freegle (which I run)

I NEED an iphone

Does anyone have a laptop for my son I am not bothered what make it is as long as it is modern

Am looking for a mercedes

I need a 42" tv for my new flat there are 6 of us sharing so we need it this big

and such like. Being able to see these before they are on the group gives me a giggle but also means I can delete them as the policy is not to ask for big or expensive items.

In my local group a couple of weeks ago somebody posted a list of things they wanted including a fridge freezer, tumble dryer and washing machine and specified that they must all be in working condition and needed to be delivered. Confused
