.... random rants and rambles. no agenda. yet.

I am laughing to myself in disbelief in one of those I Must Blog That moments.

To cut a very long and unneccessary story short, the other week we were given a large black suitcase containing some stuff we'd bagged on Freecycle. The stuff inside was brilliant, but the suitcase was unwanted, so I tried Freecycling it away again. Strangely, no one wanted it. It's big and looks just fine, so I was a bit surprised.

As the week wore on and no one wanted the suitcase, it was just gathering dust on the landing, so I contemplated taking it to the tip yesterday. "Oh, no." C said. "Have another go on Freecycle."

So I tried a different angle this time, and explained in my new Freecycle ad that the suitcase was very sad because no one wanted it, and we would be very grateful if someone would give it a new home. Lo and behold, in my inbox this morning I found FOUR emails from people who feel sorry for the suitcase and wanted to take it away.

It is shortly going to its new home in Hebden Bridge. Ahhhhh.
