I have just discovered freecycle but so far not had any replies from anything I have asked for.

Just get heaps of emails saying all the things offered, when there collected etc I can't keep up with my emails now!

I also had some nice things from their but twice this week missed a double buggy. One lady offered and i replied but was picked up just before and then the one that picked it up decided not to have it anymore and offered again and I missed again.

You should be able to stop the e-mails filling your in-box. I found this when I first joined and there is a way of doing it. Can't remember how though!!:laughing: Maybe someone else does?

Just been to look -

click on edit membership at top of home page, go down to message delivery and click web only. Stopped my hundreds of emails and I now just look when I want on the messages page.

Hope that helps:thumbsup:

I got 3 huge boxes of what were decribed as box games and it turned out to be total rubbish, all of the games had something missing, cuddly toys, lamps etc, would not mind but it was from one of the mods!!!

I have given some nice stuff away but yet to get anything worth while back :)

I've had some great toys from there. Also get old duvets for the bottom of the dogs crate.

I got some waterproof trousers and jacket, great as spares as got rid of my kids ones years ago - before I realised that parents dont always send kids in appropriate clothing for weather. :laughing:


Well worth a look and register with them.
