Gertie Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Today someone was asking for... A hot tub!! Dream on!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancing cloud Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 My favourite was someone who wanted a double bed. Must have fully-working drawers in the base and a new mattress, and they had no transport and would need it delivered, oh and they were disabled so if you wouldn't mind taking it up the stairs and putting it together ... I wouldn't mind a Caribbean island, if anyone's got a spare one they're not using? Swap it for chicken poo? Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gertie Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 A carribean island or two maybe I've had people try that one on me - can you bring it round etc! It makes me cross when people ask for ridiculous things. Ive only ever asked for a cardboard box & a pallet. I've given away tons! In fact, the same woman who earlier today just asked for a hot tub is now posting asking for a petrol strimmer!!!! Anything else dear... Maybe a gas barbeque & a magnum of champagne to go with the hot tub!!! Sorry rant over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggasperated Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Posted yesterday on my local freecycle " Hi just wondered if anyone has hens or knows of anyone with hens to join my flock. Thanks" Perhaps I could pass on my horrible feather pluckers . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Blimey. Animals are not allowed to be offered or taken on my local group. I'd report that one to the administrators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggasperated Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Blimey. Animals are not allowed to be offered or taken on my local group. I'd report that one to the administrators. It appears to be up to the individual group whether animal requests and offers can be made. On Sunday someone was offering a four year old guinea pig and cage as their son had "lost interest in him". I don't agree with this and will make my views known to the mods on the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Animals are allowed on our Freecycle group too. I have seen quite a few dogs, cats, hamsters, and cockerels up for offer Makes me really sad. Can't help wondering what sort of homes they go to (especially the cockerels). Today we had 'Wanted: 8x6 Summerhouse' on our Freecycle. A little bit specific methinks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Among today's offerings: I have on offer a garage made of concrete slabs. You will need a big van or truck to collect it. If you collect in during the week, you will need at least two men to collect. If you collect on the weekend, there will be someone available to help load it.
