Reply With Quoteseriously you could furnish a whole house for nothing in our area, from a clean up day. Back in the early 1980's I moved into a flat with my brother. At that time I tithed my money [gave 10% to help others], and after paying my share of the bond had very little money left.Originally Posted by banjo
Dropped into a friends place a distance away, but near the train station as we were, and found out he needed me to drive a 2 ton truck for him to move as he had never gotten a licence. After moving a few loads in that small hired truck he said to me, "get rid of the rest, I do not want it, I am buying all new furniture." I got a lot of real good stuff from him including fridge, washing machine and dryer and a Tasmanian Oak solid kitchen suite, then the next week there was a clean up day. From both combined, him and the clean up day, we had our 3 bedroom flat fully furnished, and rented out the spare room, making each share cheaper.
The good stuff I saw thrown out would have furnished a whole house including a gym, but we have too much already, though I also picked up an exercise Bike, and a corner shelves, etc.
