Now for anyone who has never heard of Freecycle I strongly recommend you pop over and have a look. It is a site where you can give away things you don't want and pick up things you do want and it's all for free..
The other day I was reading a post on The Vintage Magpie about saving the pennies and she was talking about her bread maker. I sent her an e-mail asking a few questions about the bread maker and after thinking it sounded like a good idea I posted an ad on Freecycle asking if anyone had a bread maker they didnt want. A few days later I got a reply and a lady very kindly offered to deliver one to my doorstep.
Introducing my new bread maker - hardly used.

Well done on the breadmaker - we used to have one, but Himself took it when he went :-(

Well done Lisa on the award, the first of many. Freecycle does sound great, I really will give it a go sometime. I can just smell that homebaked bread wafting out of the kitchen, not too much butter though, don't forget the diet! x
Big congrats on your award well done you! I've recently discovered freecycle too. Had a bit of a clearout recently and it's great way to get rid of stuff not actually received anything yet you have to respond very quickly I'm after a garden bench! Loved those birthday pics!

Lovely award speech, I think you deserve the Oscar for that one!
Freecycle is wonderful isn't it? I love it, we've found so many good things on it and have given so many things away as well. congrats on your award, well done you deserve it

I had a bread maker in the UK - I used to set it so that you would wake up and the house would smell of gorgeous freshly baked bread. Yum. Bread is probably my favorite food .... what a peasant I am!
So fresh bread at your place over the weekend then? I love it when we get things that someone else doesn't want. We picked up a rabbit hutch in the inorganic collection last week. Saved ourselves $200. Well done, hope the bread is delicious
congratulations on an award well deserved!!! I love having a breadmaker!!! enjoy!
