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 posted on here at the time but on our local freecycle a woman offered ONE plimsoll.

I still think about her sometimes and wonder if she managed to cope OK with the deluge of emails from one legged people.

Hey, I think we've got a narrowboat somewhere around. The roof's missing but it's still got one of the Sylvanians that came with it. Will that do?

I'll try my ad: Wanted: Money, will accept it in any condition as long as it's in big amounts.
Any offers: I'm sure they'll come flooding in.... won't they? Hmm

we had one last winter offering Snow Grin
you had to bring a bucket though

URGENTLY NEEDED: the numbers for the next big Euro-lottery jackpot. Must be exclusive to me.

Can offer some used chewing gum in exchange when I have scraped it off the sole of my shoe.

Honeydragon · 04/08/2011 14:07

Slarty, now see I love those ones Grin

Honeydragon It depends on the taste in tinned fodd of the dog in whose crap I trod at the same time.

Now this made me log in to check my local freecycle for the first time in months.

Items requested include: a caravan (biggish); double bed (must fit in hatchback car...), white furniture (for a whole bedroom - bed, bookshelves and drawers) and my favourite .. a large quantity of pine cones (a teacher?).

Oh and someone wanted a LOT of apples to make cider.

doncaster1 · 04/08/2011 14:18

Someone posted on our one that he was starting his own business doing car boots and wanted anything you can give.
Another person wanted an xbox 360.

mediawhore · 04/08/2011 14:18

MsGee you must be on the same freecycle group as me as I came here to post about the requests for a 'biggish caravan' that I have just received!

MsGee · 04/08/2011 14:19

mediawhore are you in North Herts?

mediawhore · 04/08/2011 14:20

Yup! Busted...

slartybartfast · 04/08/2011 14:22

MsGee · 04/08/2011 14:22

Ah, must be the same then! Is this where we figure out that we live around the corner from each other and have already had coffee together?

Tortoiseonthehalfshell · 04/08/2011 14:25

MissTinaTeaspoon · 04/08/2011 14:28

I put a Happyland train set on our local freecycle last year...one of the replies was along the lines of

"when can you deliver it to me and will it be boxed in the original packaging?"

with no please or thank you or any pleasantries whatsoever. As if I was running some kind of free shop with free delivery. Needless to say she didn't get any reply from me!

Honeydragon · 04/08/2011 14:29

Shock Tina!
