freecyle clubs exist in several countries (including the uk) ever come across any unsual offers or requests? i don't know if this person ever did get a lightbulb for his pet which i would guess was to keep the beastie warm rather than give it something to read by. in that same digest there were some very tempting offers - a bottle opener, grass and a potty.

I belonged to a freecycle group here in my city and the stuff that people were asking for was crazy. I can't remember all of it but, one thing that sticks out was a complete bed set, mattress sheets everything. I would not want to sleep on a used mattress LOL

Much more asking than offering. The mod sent out emails every day saying the same thing about "please limit your wants to 2 a week per member". The people were so picky, example: "I want a car for work but, it has to look nice get good gas mileage and have affordable car insurance" I just got so pissed at the wants I ended up dropping out.

Hi jb, once again I am clueless to what you are talking about but I don't have a spare lightbulb for you, sorry about that. I do have two tortoises in my olive grove, rustling through the grass. I don't let them in the house though or anywhere near my lightbulbs, they really seem happy enough outside where there are things to eat, it's all a myth that you need to buy them lettuce you know.

That sounds like a good way to save some money, especially if these things are still in a very useful shape. And during this economical crisis everybody seems to find good ways of saving money, but the benefit of recycling is also lesser polution in the long run.
I dont remember any recent wierd offers or requests, but maybe i should set up a request myself. Since im seeking Dutch people living in the Netherlands of legal age, which will help me with my survey, which takes a max of 2 minutes to fill in. Completly anonymous. I wonder if i would have any luck finding those on MyLot.

Lol I would request Dutch people living in the Netherlands of legal age to help me out. The survey is for my thesis so i can get my exams ;)
If i where to request real things, lets see, i think i would like an aquarium fully equiped with light and filter to get back into the fishkeeping hobby.
