I just had to post what we got from Freecycle this morning: a FREE 53" HD TV!!! OMG, its gorgeous and works great -- the kids were playing video games on it this morning (my SIL's kids are here overnight) There's a slight problem that needs to be fixed - the left side has a bit of double images - and we'll get it fixed after Christmas. It'll cost us $350 to fix but compared to $1,500 for a new tv its a drop in the bucket! Hubby's grinning from ear to ear over *his* new TV.
Everyone keeps asking me how someone could just give away a perfectly good expensive TV, and hubby said you should have seen what they replaced it with.... a 60+ inch plasma TV is hanging on the wall :rolleyes: Hey, what is trash to them is definately treasure to us!
People, anyone who has NOT checked out freecycle.org needs to do so now! In the past month, I also got a new end table, a ton of baby clothes (which Ashley thought were "ugly") and a HUGE Little Tikes jungle gym for outside in the spring. I also gave things away like my old sweaters and the "ugly" baby clothes (I feel you need to be charitable where you can if you're receiving charity)
