RE: Freecycle and similar websites - JJB - 17-03-2023
Not sure I'd want one of those for even 15p. Each to his own I suppose
RE: Freecycle and similar websites - Veggie - 17-03-2023
How about 10p, JJB?
It would be hopeless for storing coffee. The head bit is a really tight fit on the body - there's no rubber seal, just a grating of earthenware on earthenware. I expect a charity shop will be the lucky recipient.

No takers at 10p either, although someone out there will love it, I'm sure.
There's one for sale at £10 on fleabay

How right you are Scarlet. You're just like my pal, she loves a charity shop and trawls the knick knacks, she spots a bargain at 50 paces, whereas I, on the other hand can't see one if it bites me on the bum, but I do love the books
RE: Freecycle and similar websites - Bren - 17-03-2023
I do love charity shops you never know what you need till you see it on the shelves.

Nana had one of those, about 4" diameter and 18" tall
RE: Freecycle and similar websites - Veggie - 17-03-2023
I took part in a Herb Tea swap. I gained 6 part used boxes of teabags and I gave a jar of Jasmine and green tea (too flowery for me) and a couple of different sorts of tea bags that I thought the recipient might like to try. Oddly, we both swapped the same "Sleep" teabags.
