Not sure if you've heard of this but its a really good resource when you are looking to get rid of something you dont need or if you need something you cant afford to pay for. There is a forum for each area. I joined mine recently and gave away an exercise strider and was given a digital pictureframe. Check it out Freecycle.org |

I've used it and got a tent for the Scouts. Also got rid of some stuff I didn't need. It's excellent. |

I think it's a Yahoo group. Go to http://www.freecycle.org/group/UK/?noautodetect=1 and find the group in your area. You'll then need to subscribe to the group and, once that's been approved, the world is your oyster. There are rules, although different groups enforce them differently. For instance, the group I help to moderate asks that you put in an offer before you start requesting items and that you have no more than 4 "wants" per month. There are other rules too, but your local co-ordinators should make you aware of how it works where you are. hth Lynne |

There is a strict rule on not asking for money, or offering it. |
