    so my flat-mate moved out recently and left lots of things behind. i've offered up stuff on the hackney and haringey freecycle websites to no avail. i even tried the urban75 site, but no one bloody wants this stuff!

    i just can't bring myself to throw away perfectly good food, yet i can't eat it (my body hates me and i am allergic to sugar and dairy), and so i am wondering if anyone here wants it?

    (she is swiss-german, so a lot of this stuff is from there. all the items are in date unless otherwise noted.)

    - unopened box of instant mashed potatoes.
    - 1 packet of risotto rice. (it says exp: 10/07, but it's rice, can it really go off that quick?)
    - 2 unopened boxes of couscous. (1 aromatic pesto & herbs, 1 'spice sensation'.)
    - 1 sachet of sundried tomato couscous.
    - unopened jar garlic powder. (it says exp: 06/07, but can it really go off that quick when still plastic sealed?)
    - 1 unopened jar of italian seasoning.
    - 1 unopened sachet of 'salad' seasoning.
    - 4 unopened packets of crepe / pancake mix.
    - an unopened packet of marshmallows.
    - some straws.
    - an unopened bag of sugar free mint sweeties.
    - an unopened sachet of some tasty looking cake mix thingy.
    - an unopened box of lasagne.
    - open bottle of multi-vitamin pills.
    - open bottle of vitamin e pills.
    - can of kidney beans
    - apricot jam (unopened)
    - can heinz tomato soup
    - sacla sundried tomato pesto (unopened)

    does anyone want it? failing that, could someone recommend a charity i can at least give all this food too?

    i am in seven sisters, but don't mind travelling a little to give it to whoever wants it. although i won't go too far, since it's bloody heavy! although, if sleepy feels nice, maybe he'll help with the transportation...

    you clearly are not a hoarder, are you bill? :shamed:

    you should see all the stuff i can't throw away, from telewest cable box remotes, to nokia phone chargers (i do not, and never have had, a nokia), to lampshades. i need help. i thought freecycle was my lifeline, until, that is, i was SPURNED!!! :wink:

    thanks for the link k97. i had a look at their site, but it seems like they are vegan? not much of this stuff will be any good to them then.

    Telewest remote?

    That's nothing - I have an old cable set-top box.

    I used to have a really bad hoarding habit - then I moved into a tiny studio. Then my significant other moved in. Had to downsize. But still got about 50 messenger t-shirts from 10 years ago that I never wear.

    not to brag here, but i've never had a telewest connection, so i consider my hoarding habits superior in this respect. ;)

    i dread to think what amount of crap i'd still have if i lived in one country. luckily i get to down-size massively once every few years, taking nothing other than clothes, bike, laptop and cats to the next country. next time i'm aiming to take sleepy too. weeeeeee!

    lol, well, perhaps you are right, chris. i've emailed both the whitechapel and the brixton groups and neither have responded to my email... :confused:

    the other day i read that the UN had announced a global food crisis. and here i am, unable to give it away! :shocked:

    anyone else have any ideas?
