So, my Freecycle experience continues. Three claimants having failed to steel themselves to the sticking point and make an appointment to pick up the things (2), or having made an appointment, failed to honor it (1), the latest correspondent asks me why am I getting rid of the cat cosy, is there anything wrong with it, is it dirty and how do I clean it.

Good grief. I am getting rid of it because my cat is fat and it is a hideous carpeted thing I do not want in my house. It is carpeted, so it can be vacuumed. IT IS FREE FOR FUCK'S SAKE.

I am starting to think fondly of the dump, I tell you what. I'm giving Freecycle one more chance with the boxes, when I finish pulling them from the basement, and then it's Goodwill all the way.

In good news, Moving Contractor came to visit this morning and mr. flea reports they seem ace.

My next-door neighbors were just talking about the rudeness and high expectations of people who are getting things for free. Seriously, you might try charging some money for the stuff - you may get more reliable potential customers.
