Use your local "freecycle" for free plants etc

It's certainly news to me so you don't look stupid at all.

information about recycling and reusing is good to know. You don't look stupid at all. :o)

Thanks Gilli and Toto! Just making sure I'm not going round the loop! It's hard when finances are tight but you need something to cheer you up and have something to look forward to! I went out into the garden today and discovered something flowering, not sure what tho'! (grins!) I know it's a decidous bush of some sort. I can't even take a piccie coz my hubby hasn't got the chip back yet from his work photo's from China! Grrrrrr!!

No theres no egg on the face! Very useful. it's nice to think you've got a bargain isn't it. I didn't know about these groups, thanks.

Never heard of these groups either but will look into it ,thanks for info........

Thanks Paulthegard and Lincslass. The reason I love the freecycle so much, is it reduces the amount of waste peeps would otherwise throw in the bin. Wish more stuff would get passed around this way, particularly with the credit crises we've got at the moment.

Yippee!!! I'm going to pick up some free dark purple/black hollyhock seeds this morning thanks to the Kamloops Freecycle. :o)

Ooooh goody Gilli! I'm sooo pleased for you!! In my humble opinion this freecycle should have the warning that "waste not, want not!" as our grandparents used to tell us!!! Now I find myself giving things away that I wouldn't ordinarily think about!! (my hubby has got cross with me when I told him I was thinking of giving something away and I grossly underestimated how much we paid for it. Hubby remembered tho'! Lol!!)
