Family Forum / Parenting / Parenting / January 2006Unwanted powdered milk
Hello All I have ONE box of UNOPENED Cow&Gate No 3 baby powdered milk. I bought two boxes when we tried to move my son from the C&G no1 to the next stage when he was six months old. We used part of the first box and found that he did not take to it very well so we decided to leave things as they are. Does anyone know who I can give the box to that can make use of it? Will the local hospital take it? I don't have the receipt anymore and it would be a waste to throw it away as babies milk does cost a lot of money. I live in Kingston-upon-Thames if that's any help. Thanks for any help Naveed > Hello All > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Naveed I had some unopened powdered milk which I gave to my health visitor to give to someone who would use it. Otherwise you could try a toddler group. I took some baby food the other day and gave it to the first family with a baby of relevant age.

If those fail, you could try locating a women's refuge, their locations are not publisiced so sometimes you have to give donations via somewhere else like a police station, they are likely to accept anything as they will have mums and children of any age coming in Anne >> I had some unopened powdered milk which I gave to my health visitor to >> give to someone who would use it.

My local one would certainly be happy for anyone to bring donations in to their office (as opposed to hostel) address. > Anne >Hello All > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > >Naveed You could also try your local freecycle group try freecycle.org You offer stuff you no longer want and people email requesting it  SignatureGet money off vouchers for everything http://www.moneyoffvouchers.co.uk > You could also try your local freecycle group > try freecycle.org > > You offer stuff you no longer want and people email requesting it Pity they couldn't be bothered to do it properly and used yahoo instead. >> You could also try your local freecycle group >> try freecycle.org >> >> You offer stuff you no longer want and people email requesting it > >Pity they couldn't be bothered to do it properly and used yahoo instead. Yahoo groups work well if you sub by email and get the emails as they happen.

I don't *think* I'm too belligerant, but unfortunately the psoted word can be interpreted in a different way to that intended. >>> You could also try your local freecycle group >>> try freecycle.org [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Yahoo groups work well if you sub by email and get the emails as they > happen. But that's the problem I don't want to have to give my address to an advertising broker just to find out whether or not freecycle are worth bothering with. >>>> You could also try your local freecycle group >>>> try freecycle.org [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >advertising broker just to find out whether or not freecycle are worth >bothering with. I am on various yahoogroups and have been for a number of years, and have used probably 5-6 different email addresses (specific to yahoogroups.

The addresses I use for Yahoogroups are specific to Yahoogroups, they are not and have not been used for anything else. any email to those addresses NOT to a group is filtered out to a different folder (usually a personal oflist message to me) so is soon spotted. If I had received any unwanted crap from Yahoo or spam to those addresses I would have 1. Changed the address 2. complained to Yahoo. I've had to do neither.

Fair enough it seems like a terribly complicated way to have to subscribe to a mailing list just so you can find out if it's worth reading which is how this started. |
