A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I think I must live in a particularly mad group area. Today there was a request for a shotgun cabinet as 'hubby wants to take up clay shooting and it's expensive'. I am waiting for the posts requesting the guns and the bullets next! What mind-boggling asks and offers have you seen on freecycle/freegle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
