RE: Freecycle and similar websites - Veggie - 21-02-2022

As much as I'd like a big fridge/freezer I don't have the wall space for one.

Never mind, I have some INs today - a brand new Wales Rugby T shirt that I'll probably give to my brother for one of his kids (as it'll be too small for him).
2 purple rugs - one's in the bedroom, not sure where the other one will go, a wireless Keyboard, some glass coasters and one that SC would like - a china elephant with his trunk wrapped around a felt tip pen and a wipe in his tail. The idea is that you write reminders on the elephant and wipe them off later.

OUT go 2 battery operated tin openers.

I thought you got a wireless keyboard early on in your recycling game?


RE: Freecycle and similar websites - Veggie - 21-02-2022

Well remembered.Big Grin I did but need another one.

Of course.... one for each hand Smile

I have an LG one I bought from new about 12 yeas ago, it has a water and ice dispenser on it. Best fridge freezer ever, cold filtered  water on tap all the time.

Yeah they're good aren't they? I still have an American fridge freezer, though not an LG, and it's not plumbed in, so the water thing on the front doesn't work. We've not bothered, since the fridge will move, as soon as we can get the washing machine plumbed in out in the garage.

Lots of Odds and ends of INs today - toiletries, mostly shower gel, shampoo & conditioner, bathroom cleaning stuff, 3 different sized laundry baskets, 5 packets of sticky plasters, a bag of biros and pencils (because all my pens have decided to dry up together), a T-shirt and a tin of Fortnum & Mason tea (use by 2011)!! I don't drink tea but it came as part of a joblot. Smile
OUT went a very large beanbag, a Wales Rugby T shirt and 3 packets of sticky plasters - all to my brother who's always getting himself in a scrape.Smile

If you're detecting any theme in the items I'm collecting its because I'm hoping to get through 2022 without buying any toiletries, household cleaners, books, clothes and to eat only yellow sticker food, homegrown and freebies (with the exception of some basic foods).
Any stuff I collect that I won't use is offered to others - toiletries to the Women's Refuge, Clothes to the Clothes Bank or back to the Freebie site.

Only OUTs today - 5 Harry Potter books, (mostly unread and I know I won't get round to reading them), a couple of Roald Dahl books and more for a School book sale to raise funds for equipment. Its a few less books that need shelf space.

The last few days have seen INs of seeds from the Seed Swap, 5 tins of dog food, some large plastic boxes and a small metal case thingy that was full of young girl's "makeup" - nail varnish, glitter stuff, hair bands and clips - have to find somewhere to give away that stuff - I wanted the case for seed storage!
OUT went a bag of unwanted clothes............and some seeds to the Swap.

Today's INs were some miscellaneous garden things - like long modules = the sort that fit a windowsill and some other ones, a few wire hanging baskets (used to keep squirrels off bird feeders) and some transparent, plastic boxes that will make good lids over seedlings for protection. Also 3 almost full boxes of fancy teabags - two are fruit based the third sounds weird! Yorkshire Tea's Malty Biscuit brew - tastes like tea and biscuits!!!

OUT went all the girly makeup stuff I acquired yesterday to the lady with the teabag's who has a 12 year old daughter.
