Hi all
dont know if this would be of any help , but i know that when you are struggling with paying bills ect and tight budget, some thing always happens when you least expect it like washing machine breakdown or cooker blowing up ,had both happen to me..

\well to get to the point, have many of you heard of FREECYCLE, its a fantastic site , its where people have little or no longer need items ,for whatever reason, mostly because they have upgraded stuff, they dont want to throw it out or even sell it so they put it up on a FREECYCLE site, most people just ask for you to pick it up yourself, i have had experience of them and they are great, i think there are these sites in most arears up and down the country, all you need to do is type in FREECYCLE and it should show in your area,
My daughter almost furnished her house out for nothing from this, maybe worth alook , as the say nothing ventured nothing gained, hope this helps
regards Missfit

hi freecycle is great
if you want to post a wanted ad you need to offer something first
there are loads of things offered
i ve got a lot of stuff from freecycle even got a toddler bed with bed guard would have cost me over £90 if bought was in pristine condition, clthes for my little boy and toys
ive also offered lots of things too even things like bag of old sheets and threadbare towels as these are needed by animal rescue charities , dishwasher , football boots child had grown out of but in good nick its so good really and saves landfill and money
wellworth registering for its amazing the amount of things people give away
