For Freeserve read Freecycle.

Elegran Thu 17-May-12 20:55:49

I was dipping with one hand while using the other to check whether anyone wanted the magazines I listed on Freeserve. They all have good homes to go to. The wildlife ones to a teacher with an easily distracted class on Friday afternoon doing predator-prey cut and paste, the New Scientists to a physics addict, the NTS and Scottish Heritage to his wife (presumably to keep her quiet while he reads the New Scientists)

MMmm I think there might be one left for you elegran wink

Elegran Thu 17-May-12 20:51:22

Half of them are gone but if you pass them round QUICKLY so that they get back to me you can dip in. I can't open these without finishing the box.

I've just opened a box of Guylian seashells. Anybody want one before they all vanish?

Bags Thu 17-May-12 19:39:52

Too bad, pomps! But you really should do what Mrs P tells you suggests sooner! wink Hope it clears up soon.

My wife is very pleased with herself, she has been nagging me to go to the Doc's with the cough and bad chest I have had for 3 weeks. I said "it will clear up on it's own" but, under duress, finally went to Doc's this morning, returned with anti-biotics for an infected chest sad.

There you go, share them around.

Great news this morning, my friend is home from hospital, late last night. Spoke to him for a few minutes this morning. He is obviously very tired and weak so did not want to keep him trying to chat too long. smile

No, that's OK, thanks, Bags, I'm not over-keen on cakes anyway!

Bags Mon 14-May-12 22:36:11

Oh, how kind nag. I suppose that means I have to share the cupcake hmm

No, really, it's not a problem. I've only had two bites... You can have the unchomped side grin
