Freecycle and similar websites

Not quite up to the Moneyless Chicken's standards but went into town to buy something for my pal's birthday next week. We girls stress to each other not to pay a lot and charity shop stuff is fine. Managed to get a couple of books that all three of us will read eventually, some earrings in a sale, a block of chocolate with liquorice bits in (disgusting) and a couple of knick nacks. A good haul, especially when I had no idea what to get. My pals are very difficult to buy for, they're not gardeners!
