whats is 'for free' for?

[misdee]

advertising stuff you want rid off, or for asking for stuff for free?

advertising I should imagine

It's supposed to be the former, but almost always gets used as the latter IME.

And AIBU to find the phrase "for free" irritating?

For nothing - fine
Free - fine
For free - awful.

Do you not get out very often, Katisha?

lol.

But I'm RIGHT .
Wail!

I know - I'll go to Pedants Corner!

I occasionally ask for stuff if I need it, but I've given alot away on there so feel justified.

Mind you its only odd times like when I needed welly bobs quickly for the kids holidays and was skint.

what are welly bobs?

Wellington boots

ah right. thought it was soemthing liker the bobinogs or whatever that programme is called on cbeebies lol.

No, sometimes I get stuck in 'toddler talk mode', even after 7pm!

is thre not a wanted section anymore then?

actually, i have just had a quick whizz down the for free section. how blody rude are some people??!!! its like freecycle on there!!! anyone got this?, anyone got that?

MNHQ please give someone the power to delete them! esp the ones from people who are blatantly trying to get freebies to sell on ebay or are advertising.

i have some reigns for free and the wrist type - that was a disaster think my son just can't be controlled

too good to bin

Hey mumofmonsters,

MNHQ have the power to delete threads from the talk boards and all you have to do is flag them to MNHQ using the Report this post link (image here) and someone will take a look and see if it needs to be deleted.

Have a great day.

can you give me that power please!

cos otherwise i;ll start a list of wanted items shortly

Thank you BigTech. I did actually know that already
Reporting is fine but not all reported threads get deleted and the ones that you comment on get you torn to shreds.

Still this is the fammous nest of vipers after all

Oh, I thought the For Free was secret code for SWAP SHOP??
