FREE Double Size Bean-Bag

Liz from South Dunedin

Fancy a super-size bean bag? This is big enough that a large guy can be really comfortable sitting in it. Light orange colour, the material is very comfy - I think it would be described as a narrow needle-cord. Its clean but there IS a catch. I fell off a bar-stool (food poisoning incident) and … View moreFancy a super-size bean bag? This is big enough that a large guy can be really comfortable sitting in it. Light orange colour, the material is very comfy - I think it would be described as a narrow needle-cord. Its clean but there IS a catch. I fell off a bar-stool (food poisoning incident) and partly fell on the bean-bag, leaving a few small blood stains that didn't wholly wash out when I washed the cover. We've used it since then with the stains towards the wall - the bean-bag needs to be against a wall anyway if you want to use it like a chair. Because of the stains I'm offering it for free. It doesn't have an inner bag to hold the 'beans' so if you're handy with sewing perhaps you could treat the current bag as an 'inner' and make a new cover! No photo because its wrapped in plastic from when we shifted here a year ago. Now we're shifting again, and I want it gone. The stains are the only drawback, its beautifully comfy to sit in and the fabric is lovely. Its at the back of our box room but it would be available for collection from Burnside this weekend. Any takers? Ph 488 4353

I was today, it was more than 10 minutes. Yes,, I understand they have to do load outs, but really this long is toooooo long. It is a busy saturday in Mosgiel today. It is not the first time this has happened. When it does I need to drive 5 to 7 km out of my way (instead of a 0.5km) to get home or longer to get to work.
