Good Luck

went to wire as we told they were very cheap and get as new stuff? wot a waste of time.TRY QUIDS IN THAT WAY YOU KNOW WERE IT COME FROM AND SAVE ££££... GOOD LUCK...
A word of warning ! Don't know what this "WIRE" effort is - presuming it's a second-hand (er. sorry, pre-owned) flog it cheap emporium. All well and good and I'm up for re-using as much as possible rather than heaving it away, BUT and it's a BIG but.... If any stuff you buy is mains (240v) gear, make sure that it's been P.A.T (Portable Appliance Tested) tested and bears the green, dated sticker.
Don't know if it's UK wide, but in Scotland, it's an offence to flog 2nd hand 240v stuff without a current P.A.T. cert.
SWMBO (or used to be) bought a 2nd hand cooker. When I came to wire it up I found it was a rat's nest of bare, unhooked wires inside. The outfit didn't want to take it back and refund the money..... until I pointed out the lack of P.A.T. test. Attitude instantly changed and money refunded. Bar****ds !!
It's YOUR life on the line, not theirs. Freecycle scheme is great. No greaseball is trying to make money out of you. Private individual giving stuff to you doesn't kick in the above regs., so maybe take your electrician mate with you. Better safe than sorry.
Sorry to sidetrack the thread. Carry on folks.
ITS NOT CHEAP. SEEN BETTER STUFF IN SKIPS.
I have a IKEA TV unit and 2 IKEA side tables with lamps.
how much do u want for the side tables and lamps wheels?
£20 can get a pic if need be, lamps need bulbs
yer if you can post a pic up mate. cheers
(Off Topic) i got a washing machine off wire and it didnt last a year i had it looked at and the person said just dump it he said it was never fixed in the first when it first broke so they sold me a broken washing machine but what makes me laugh it worked ?? But what was up with it the springs where not properly fixed and it caused big problems.. So be carefull
I wasn't impressed when I looked at WIRE's website. It sounds the same quality as freecycle but you pay for it!
yer if you can post a pic up mate. cheers
any news on the pic wheels??
Got some drawers you can have - white with yellow 'bits' on. Was a baby changing station so are quite deep. 3 drawers. Will post piccie if you're interested.
Ciao bella
