In preparation for this whole moving thing I've been getting rid of stuff on freecycle. A woman came round today and we were talking about how not enough people know about it. So I'm mentioning it here in the hopes that more people will start using it.
Go here and find out if there is an active group near you. Just about wherever you are in the world there are freecycle groups, and you can always start one if there isn't one close enough.
The idea is that if you have something you don't want anymore you offer it on the site and someone comes and picks it up. And if there is something you want you can ask for one. It's not like ebay, you don't get money for the stuff (hence the 'free'), but your things go to a good home, you don't have to deal with them any more, and it is a wonderful feeling to be passing on your stuff. Sometimes people are giving away spare CD jewel boxes, and sometimes a bed or an old laptop. Do check it out.
