Our house came with fixtures and fittings ‘as seen’. While most of these have been removed – including walls, built in boxes, fireplaces, plaster, electricity, radiators, old roof, kitchen sink and entire bathroom suite and toilet, there remain a carpet, a gas cooker and a fridge. These we are freecycling.
The cooker appears to be going to someone who has a cooker which is either fully on or fully off. The carpet is going to someone who needs a carpet as their mother is coming to stay with them soon. The fridge is going to someone who’s renting/letting for free their flat to a friend until January or so, and it needs a fridge.
I’m waiting for the cooker person to find a van to take it away in. I’m waiting for the weekend for the carpet lady to get her son in law to pick it up as he works all week picking up toilet chemicals from hotels and conference centres. The fridge is going to be picked up tomorrow by a woman who is pregnant. So her husband informs me. “It’s not that heavy, is it?” he asks, “You’ll be able to help her take it to the car, won’t you?”
“How pregnant is she?”
“Quite pregnant, but fridges have a light end and a heavy end, don’t they? I think she’ll be fine if you take the heavy side.”
