I need a dining table! But no money=no table to sit at for christmas dinner!

[ATortIsForLifeNotJustChristmas]

this would do fine but i am just dreaming because i don't have a spare penny let alone £80!

Get yourself onto Freecycle and ask for one!

There been about 6 on our local one in the past month or so!

Have you tried freecycle - there are often dining tables on ours. Even if it wasn't the most beautiful table in the world covered with a cloth a decs it would do the job. Then after Christmas you could put it back on freecycle if you didn't want to keep it.

x post great minds soapy

I can't pick up though. Otherwise i would give it a try.
Only have a small space for one too.

Have you no-one locally who would pick it up for you?

Cheapest I have seen is about £50 i think for brand new, that was in argos i think.

Tried ebay ?

Not really. Maybe one person but i don't like to keep asking her for help.

What about ebay?

Try it though, sometimes people are so desperate to get rid of an old table they'll even deliver it.

Yes tried Ebay. Nothing local. Thats the cheapest one i found!

Or pay the friend £20 to help you pick one up off freecycle! Its still cheaper than you'll get one anywhere else!

What about a decorating table?

B&Q

Would still need chairs though.
I think i will try freecycle. Better than doing nothing. Just want me and the dc to have somewhere to eat for a change.

Do you live near Ikea?

Get a taxi back with your purchases?

They have stools for £2.50 and very cheap tables

Nope no Ikea near by.
Wish i had thought about this ages ago and put some money aside!

freecycle I asked and got fab teak G plan extender!

Post a freecycle, say you don't mind what condition etc that you just want a table for chritmas and explain you don't ahve a car. I have found most people on freecycle to be very helpful and willng to go that extra mile in a push if they can!

Hope you get something sorted out!

Thanks everyone.
Have sent a message for Freecycle. Really don't hold out much hope but its worth a try.

Roughly where do you live, Tort?

Blu I'm in Somerset.

Oh, have just seem Somerset. Pity: I have a good kitchen table table which is dismantled with the legs off atm - I would have drpped it off for you.

but thanks anyway.
Anyone got £80 i could borrow!!!!

i am in wiltshire , do have a cheapy ikea set that i was trying to sell. i dont drive either though or would willingly deliver
sure there is no one who could collect?

ooh really? Do you think a courier would be possible? I know there are some on Ebay but i guess packaging would be tricky.
I think you are too far for me to ask someone to pick up.

would you give more of an idea where you are , eg nearest town?
