Hi Julie
I think freecycle s great.
Yes i let Riley play with dolls although we dont have any at home when we visit family with girls and creche he loves it. I do think its good because it teaches boys how to treat and love something instead of just fighting with action men dolls.
I would have to say the best thing(s) we have got off freecycle was clothes and some pillows,the clothes because Rileys wardrobe had almost vanished and i kept forgetting to get him so bits and the pillows was because my hubby was due home from hospital after an op and the woman droped them round just beore he got home.(they were good because they are like the memory foam and mould to your shape)i dont no what we would have done without them now.
