Someone suggested to post this here in the lounge area too (thank you Jenny), so here we go:



Dear kind people of ED (and beyond),

We feel very privileged to be able to provide a spare (small) bedroom to a 20yr old Ukrainian woman.

While we are waiting for her visa to be approved, we are trying to get her room ready for her.

I know many people want to help, so just putting out a little list of what we think would help us.


- small bed side table

- chest of draws

- clothing rail

- small desk

- lamp shade

- rug

- mirror


- anything I clearly have forgotten to think about


No clothes please.


Will be taking it one step at a time and please do not be offended if I don?t take you up on an offer.


Thank you.



P.s. I might also contact you directly if you have an item in the offered section, which might work and mention this post. Please, please do not feel obliged, am happy to pay. Not everyone is in the lucky position to be generous or may feel different and that is fine too.

    • Nope, I'd just get on with my day and forget about it. And I wouldn't report them on the basis that they might spill my coffee in the future.  However the OP seems to think that this young woman is deliberately pushing her bell, slamming her gate etc, having repeatedly been asked not to. I'd wager the woman is a bit pee'd off and there's a bit of a stand-off going on. Best course of action is to go out, take the parcel, smile sweetly, say hello, tell her you hope she's having a nice day / staying cool etc, in a way that comes across as genuine and not pass-agg,  and to let it diffuse. Might find it calms down a bit.  But I like the girl hate the idea of her being denigrated on here when she works so hard. 
    • So of you're in a coffee shop and the barista is rude to you you wouldn't complain as long as you had received your coffee? 
    • OP, you've got to relax a bit. Multidrop delivery is a total nightmare and the delivery drivers are woefully underpaid. We as a society all want to order stuff online and for it to be delivered quickly and cheaply. The square gets circled by allowing companies like Evri to have sham contracting arrangements. None of this is your fault OP but the delivery person is just trying to get through their workload as quickly as possible. Delivery is not, historically, an industry with large profit margins. “The only way it can be profitable is if you underpay the person who is the courier, by not treating them as an employee, by not paying taxes, by not paying their insurance, by refusing to give them sick pay or cover them if they have an accident or train them,” says Prof Annabelle Gawer, the director of the Centre of Digital Economy at the University of Surrey. “That is where the ‘savings’ are coming from.” https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/mar/01/the-hidden-life-of-a-courier-13-hour-days-rude-customers-and-big-dreams
    • Can bet the Co Op is nearing its exit soon. At those prices you might as well buy at waitrose!
