Take my furniture - please!

So I mentioned that we are trying to purge before we move. I've started to work on boxes in the garage - old Christmas lights, wrapping paper, rafts, sleds etc. All have found a good home. Today, I even brought a box of Halloween costumes into work for people to pick through, that's going well. So far I've gotten rid of WonderWoman, an Inuit and Queen Amidala.

But furniture has been more of an issue. I called a charity that does pickup in the area. They did note that picking up is at the discretion of the driver. I left a couch, loveseat, two chairs, and end table, and a file cabinet in the driveway. The driver exercised discretion and only picked up the end table! My neighbor, Bob,took the file cabinet. I didn't want to drag the couch and love seat back into the house, so I left them outside. When Ashling came home, she suggested that we look like a frat house. I do have to say, though, it was sort of convenient to have them outside. A place to sit when I'm talking to my neighbors, a place to put things when I'm packing up the car. But I was a little concerned that my neighbors might complain about the frat house look. So I turned to one of my favorite resources, freecycle.org. Posted the couches, chairs and a lamp. Gone by the end of the day! People will take anything for free, except for old TVs.
