Right, that's it! I've had it up to here with you lot!! :rant:
(Don't worry, I don't mean ALL of you!)

Last week I advertised free boxes for anyone who wanted to pick them up, I had a couple of interested people who arranged to come and pick them up on Sunday - then didn't show.
I had more interested people who then got in touch, so I arranged for them to come round on Monday evening and only ONE of them showed. (Thanks Josie :thumbsup: )

Finally more people showed an interest and STILL didn't turn up tonight!

AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!

I gave out my mobile number, my full address and stated quite clearly when I would or wouldn't be online in case any problems arose. Now I'm sick and fed up with you arses (you know who you are) who didn't turn up or bother to let me know you weren't going to!

Thanks, thanks for making me wait in, just in case you showed. Thanks for wasting my time for nothing. Thanks for wasting my evenings when I was only trying to help. I'm not gonna bother doing anything like this again!

The boxes are now being chucked into the back of my car and going straight to the tip, I give up!

:rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant:

P.S Apologies to the members who I was going to get in touch with, I'm just not going to be let down again.

Thanks msbehavin, I feel better already... I just wish people could be more dependable. Makes me lose faith in the human race when we can't even be bothered to help one another...

Actually if you do take them to the tip, be careful because when we did that after we moved house, we were accused of dumping commercial waste when all we were trying to do was be conscientious and recycle the cardboard. Sometimes you just can't win.

Maybe I'll just burn 'em in my back garden instead then! :twisted:

Try advertising them on Sheffield Freecycle (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Sheffield-FreeCycle/)

I am sure someone on there was asking for boxes for moving recently.

I already did, it was both people from this forum and that website that let me down... thanks for the idea though!
