I am excited, I have a new toy!

It’s a beautiful wooden top A0 board with a pale green metallic frame. Just fantastic, and free!

So how do you get a fantastic object like this for free?

Join Freecycle!

Freecycle is way to give away stuff that you don’t need that’s cluttering up your life. There are hundreds of these mailing list based groups (Yahoo groups) around the UK, and worldwide. You just subscribe to the list which covers your area and claim stuff that you like when it’s offered. Likewise if you have stuff you need to get rid of then you just post a note to the group.

It’s a fantastic idea, you just email an offer to the person giving something away, and if you are chosen, then just arrange a mutually agreeable way to collect it.

Quick, simple. Love it!

And you get to feel all good about yourself when you give stuff away.
(Unless you’re the kind of person who argues at the checkout about your 10p off coupon being 1 day out of date, and kick puppies)!

Note: I really have to say an additional thanks to Adobe for this. If it wasn’t for their pathetic user interface I’d never have been driven back to using a pencil and paper.

Which Adobe app I hear you cry? Well, all of them!
