to NOT want to give SIL the bed??

[Disenchanted3]

Kids are getting bunk beds.

DS1s old bed was off ebay, new but been at someones house, was cheap ikea bed.

DS2s bed is a gorgeous single, big blue headboard and footboard with rockets on, cost a bit.

So I decided to put cheap bed on freecycle but try to rehome the blue bed in the family.

I get a lovely reply on freecycle, polite, sounds genuine collecting tonight ...

SIL texts me 'yh prob, measure it for us, dnno if itll fit'



Now I want to put it on freecyce too.

What is yh prob?

You don't have to give it to her.

[Disenchanted3]

'yeah probably'

[lynniep]

bit confused. you mean SIL just assumed she'd get it and wants you to measure up for her? i.e. being cheeky?

[Frasersmum123]

I would be annoyed - she doesnt sound very grateful

[Disenchanted3]

I asked if she wanted DSs bed, told her its only few months old etc ...

No 'please' or 'thankyou' for it in reply and asks me to measure it without a 'please' either

JUST what I was trying to avoid on freecycle.

[Disenchanted3]

Hmmm, maybe I am asking too much expecting manners these days??

[FabBakerGirlIsBack]

Not at all!

Don't give it to her.

Cheeky mare.

[zeke]

well if she 'def hav - bring round' tell her you are selling it for £50 and see if she is still interested!
OMG - I would be annoyed, too!

[CarGirl]

I'd stick it on ebay at least you'd get some ££££££££££££££ for the hassle!

[Stretch]

Can you give nice person the nice bed, and SIL the cheap one??

[DarrellRivers]

It is a text though, and it is difficult to get across the correct emotion sometimes

[Disenchanted3]

No stretch, the freecycle ones just an adult single bed, this is a kids one.

[FabBakerGirlIsBack]

DR - is it difficult to text please and thank you too?
