Plague 69

So im not around much on the grounds that im struggling to type , shoulder thingy having diffused to my hand and fingers now, usually this is a sign its getting better , i can hope , ive still a lot to do outside including the mother of all bonfires , at least its raining for the next couple of days so i should manage a big blaze once the ground is soaked . At the weekend i had a tribal visit 3 kids grandson and BIL to tackle the last of the conifers they thought they should get the backend jobs done before we are all locked down again , it was nice to have the kids here and also find out they squabble just as bad as they did when they were teenagers ,lol

Daughter finally got round to taking down the munchkins high sleeper , its been a total nuisance since they left nobody but grandson could get up there and of course the cat  . i managed to find a divan base free on facebook this week so nagged for the wretched high sleeper to go , at least the mattress fitted the base.  So it being very large even when dismantled we decided to give it away free on the local facebook selling page , why just why did i think it was a good idea?  370 viewers and endless messages , so far 3 didnt turn up who wanted it , then i got sick of the endless dumbass questions , so i turned my facebook over to my daughter and said you sort it !!  I'm informed theres another person picking it up today , we shall see . Its several hundred pounds worth of bed not a cheap nasty one , beggers belief that its so hard to give away

  1. I've never used FB selling - and quite glad about that.

    Very handy to get all the family to sort big jobs.

    Saving my great big bonfire heap until 5th Nov

  3. When we had furniture to give away we got in touch with the charity shop who collected it. Saved all the hassle that I have heard of so many times trying to get rid if it on FB. Thankfully there was not another lockdown not yet anyway.

  4. I put some free furniture on FB when I moved. A foster mother contacted me immediately and it was in the back of her car within the hour! Time wasters are a pain in the arse, I know my daughter waited in for someone who didn't arrive.
