Their personal circumstances may inhibit their abilities.

Can't clean the car - Short in stature
Cant clean the oven - Claustrophobia
No blankets for the rabbits - Got no answer for that one...
Treadmill - Agrophobia

See, we aren't a nation of pampered morons...:thup:
 
We have quite a good freecycle group in our area. I have used it to pass on some larger useful household items.
I have noticed in the last year that the 'wants' far outnumber the 'offereds'
There can be some amazing offers such as nearly new dishwashers etc. But some of the wants can leave you shaking your head. No one has asked for a Porche yet though.
 
See these things all the time on the facebook selling pages.

Best one i've seen recently was someone asking for strangers to come hoover their house for free as they couldn't afford a hoover!
 
If the lady with the rabbits is too skint to buy some duvets then surely she should save money and eat the rabbits. I know a great recipe for rabbits with agen prunes. Mmmmmm

That sounds expensive... Got our oven done before X'mas and paid 40 notes... By the time Id've shelled out on the chemicals to do as a good a job as the professionals I reckon it only cost 15-20 quid for the labour... More than worth it...
 
I bought Mr Muscle oven cleaner half price. Lost it somewhere in the house - how does that happen?? Bought another one half price and then found the first one in the garage - how/who put it there??

No golf means the house gets sorted so read the instructions yesterday and put both tins away in the cupboard. I have history and any warnings about damaging "things" is enough to make me walk away!! (Defrosted the fridge/freezer with a screwdriver once - oops).

With all due respect to Mr Muscle nothing with his name on or any other similiar products will do as good a job as a 'professional... No matter how much elbow grease is applied...

Agreed, those oven cleaner guys have the right gear to do it properly! we get our oven and extractor done once a year for about £60 notes.. well worth it IMHO. its a crappy nasty horrible job, and you will never get it as clean as a pro company will...

Off to google local ones now - after all breaking the oven will be way more expensive...
