i hope to meet some people round here, id like to start a group of about four people. each one wtih a book of thier own. you write down what your lending, they sign for it. you do the same, that way stuff gets returned and no hard feelings are kept, i miss doing that with friends up north. never found anyone here that has what i need. i love bartering and i love watching stuff like weekend warriors and friends that help out. u do this for me i do this for u. thats what i would like more of. my old friends here, 2 of them moved away. linda had twins six months apart from my two middle kids. she bought them top dollar stuff. when they outgrew it she sold to me for almost nothing. like matching barney boots, they were like 45 dollars new each, when they outgrew them, still mint condition for 2 dollars each. jannette and i liked alot of mags and only got a couple each, we would trade off for a week. it sounds like linda wasnt making out much, but all she did was walk in my yard and made four dollars for just those two pair shoes. not having to have a yard sale and all i think made it worth it to her and she knew she could sell me everything that they outgrew. i think if you made a notebook lending would be easier and you could have your mind more at ease about it. i used to rent stuff from my house, and the police will get it back if you have a reciept. and if they sign your book, that is a reciept that they borrowed an item in a such n such condition. you could also make a trade box for toys. make the list in that book, and trade a friend who has diff toys for say one month. so kids dont get bored with the same ol same ol. worth considering.
