Free-cycle time waster...
Hi There
I just need to let off steam. I put a post on my local free-cycle for a donation of clothes, people always chuck out the clothes the kids have grown out of, so I thought someone would be kind enough to donate.
Someone came back to me straigh away, and said that I could collect them yesterday and all day i was saying to OH we needed to go out to get them. One thing lead to another and before we knew it, it was bed time and i was beat. As soon as i got online today i emaild and appologised for not collecting them and asked if it would be ok to collect them tomorrow as OH is in Bristol today in meetings.
I didnt get an answer, but got a post on the free-cycle board offering girls 9-12m clothes. I asked if it was close enough to walk to, and got a mail back saying sorry no. I noticed that the email addresses were the same and asked if the offer for clothes was withdrawn, and she said that as i didnt tell her, she was offereing them to someone 'who needed them'....
How infuriating.

That's a shame Sally, perhaps put the ad on freecycle again and see if someone else kindly offers xxx
Go to the mediator about it,give them the email address and say you were offered but she decided to re-post as you were unable to collect and tryed to rearrange another time,they do have a code of how they work,if not just get someone else to bid along with you for them,where abouts are you.
9-12mths clothes always come up here for offer.
Are you ok? Have you been at work today? I have and it was quiet which was unusual but made a nice change.
How are your boys?
