I FreeCycled for the first time

January 23rd, 2007 at 01:43 pm

I subscribed to our local FreeCycle group a month or two ago but had not had really posted anything, just sort of interested in what was being offered and asked for. Anyway, over the weekend someone posted a wanted for dog crates etc. She was looking for old dog crates or even parts to build a small enclosure in her barn for poultry that she raises and wanted to get in out of the cold. I just so happened to have two unused crates in my living room. I had ordered one on-line last summer when I got my younger mastiff and the first was damaged in shipping and the second had a some broken welds (manufacturing defect). The third time was the charm and I did not have to pay anything for the first two. I offered them and she picked them up yesterday and was thrilled to have them. It made me feel so nice to be able to give away something to someone who could use it and also get it out of my house at the same time. I am not sure who was happier between the two of us. I will definitely have to post more things that I can get rid of as I attempt to declutter my house.

I also wanted to post about my treadmill goal that I had mentioned in another post. I have used it 9 times this month so far and missed only two days this past week. If I want to make my goal this month I will have to double up on two days but I am going to at least try. Even if I come up short, it will still be an improvement in my general health. I am determined to stick with this and get in better shape this year.

    I've been a freecycle fan for three years now, I think, and give as much as I can. It's great when I declutter. You go! Smile

    I've given away tons (nearly) of stuff and I got a very nice portable dishwasher on there.

    My biggest Freecycle "Score" was an electric juicer, brand new and still in box. I've given a way a lot of clothes and other knick knacks. It's is a great way to de-clutter!! Freecycling is great for a number for reasons!

    I've given away a lot of stuff but my best "get" from Freecycle was the $200 version of Tony Little's Gazelle air walker exercise machine. In perfect condition and with the video tape that went with it, also.
