I've been a member for yonks, got rid of about 10 bags of kids clothing toys etc, a three piece and two brand new rolls of barbed wire (they were here when we moved in). I re-homed my Nans budgie and parakeet on there too. I received some wood for the lottie on there. everything's else I've wanted I've not been quick enough or Sean wont take me to pick it up  I look on there a couple of times a day tho. |

Plotty picked up a large fruit cage! He is using it for his hens. It's on his latest allotment up-date.

I've just joined our local group - the amount of times we've got something we no longer need but know nobody who'll want it!

I joined last year, but I only managed to give stuff away, never was quick enough to bag a freebie, but Emsey got me a greenhouse heater, very good it is, too.  |

It's really annoying me......I know I am typing in the right Yahoo name and password but it keeps telling me I don't exist! Grrr........I have a knitting machine to give away and quite a lot of toys etc....... |

You're not the only ones, I too have tried to join and cannot get beyond being asked to create a new username even though I already have one!  In the end i created another username and still couldn't get past the first hurdle! |

Well. it's nice to know it's not just me being a numpty! It makes me a tad paranoid you know......I don't like Yahoo at all....my BT ISP has Yahoo attached to it and it winds me up every time I turn the pooter on - it just won't go away! It's a real nuisance and nothing I do makes it disappear.....

It's a real nuisance and nothing I do makes it disappear..... Have you logged on to yahoo and checked your yahoo e.mail address 4Ps? I found I had put @yahoo.com istead of @yahoo.co.uk!! (I think)!!!! if you dont use it you forget and I think they might have dumped you if you havent used it for some time, you might have to redo it. Now I got through and was given a password which I then changed then I got on to the home page and read a VERY LONG blog!! : but how do I find what is offered and how do I offer?? thats what I would like to know. |

Anything I make in the future will be a lot smaller. With the linings on the ruddy things are huge to wield around Yes I know what you mean - sowing long large lined curtains can be quite a struggle. You could of course consider installing smaller windows Sleepy.  Are you going to make some matching cushion covers too? It is an option, I do have the spare fabric. But I have other things that will need to take priority. |

Tell me you've done tie-backs though, Sleepy? I remember SL telling me about this, when I wanted a G/H. Never did anything about it. I really should, shouldn't I, as Craig (and Stephen for that matter) must have some stuff to get rid of. We normally take it to charity shops. |

Um...I don't know much about it but it is not really working very well - I never used it as I turned out to be a numpty at sewing machines too...my SIL says it needs servicing but it's been in my airing cupboard for several years now.....I think it's quite old... |
