Jumbletown
 
Someone mentioned it in a listing on Freecycle a few week's ago so straight away i checked it out and have been addicted ever since. It's a credit to admin, keep up the good work.

My sister logged onto this site the other night and I registered straight away, I'm so impressed.

Hey Clutterbugk, I'm from Athlone and I see someone else who is from Westmeath, that is very handy.

JumbleTown Bore!
 
LOVE this website. We tell anyone who will listen about it and have become predictably boring in raving about JumbleTown.

My husband heard about it from his sister. We have just bought a new house and the seller's aren't leaving their appliances. We have been so grateful to be able to pick up several things from JumbleTown, even a futon bed.

Thank you to all concerned, and the admin of this wonderful site.

On the radio
 
2FM Gerry Ryan show, I think. Took a while before I logged on and then another while before I made my first jumble trip, 40 odd miles for a lovely dressing table - well worth it. Great idea.

friends son
 
I heard about the site from my friend who heard about it from her son who now gives out to us as it is 'his site'

He heard about it from his friend who got 'decks' on it and was delighted.

GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT SITE!

Thanks all

How did you find out about Jumble Town?
 
In my case I stumbled upon jumbletown.ie by accident! I was ready to download an article to read about damage done to the jungle. My 1/2 screen name Ozie (My Old English Sheepdog aka Bobtail) Jumped on me for a cuddle and being a big dog! Hit the keyboard as I was typing. Jungle became jumble (I think) And as I looked at the browser I saw jumbletown.ie. Now being so taken with finding out about the jungle (Love animals) And not from Ireland! I felt slightly bemused at the prospect that there could be a jungle in Ireland. I had certainly never heard anything about it before! So clicked on it and then i realised what this site was about. So in my case you can put it down to my dog!

My sister in Bray, Co Wicklow told me about Jumbletown.

I have 5 sisters and they live in Laois, Kildare, Waterford and Wicklow. I live in Kilkenny.

So thats a lot of coverage for JT. And proud we are to tell everyone we know about Jumbletown.

where
 
I heard about this site on www.askaboutmoney.com :there's a thread about jumbletown in the House and Garden section at the moment ( presumably posted by one of the regulars here). I'm an avid interiors watcher and I love anything to do with houses, gardens, furniture etc so I love jumbletown. I tell everyone I know about it too.

Sinamo 22-06-2008 08:39 PM

I heard about this site thru a friend who uses it regularly....and now i'm hooked on it...check it several times a day for new posts

fair play to the people who came up with the concept...truly fantastic

In a meeting!
 
I was at a meeting and two of the women there who obviously knew each other were discussing it and saying it was great. I logged on as soon as I got home and more or less havent logged off since, Its v addictive isnt it?!! I'm spreading the word ever since - thanks Kerry and Heidi for putting me on to it!

Bettybooboopbedoop 05-07-2008 10:44 PM

My husband heard of Jumbletown from our next door neighbour. We moved house 2 years ago, into a new estate, and everyone since is trying to get their house organised. Anyway, a few months ago, my husband (who smokes outside) went out for his usual smoke and so did our neighbour and as they got chatting over the wall through a cloud of smoke he learned of the land of Jumbletown. Hubby then of course told me, as our neighbour had just got a telly and a wardrobe from it and was feeling very happy with himself. Needless to say i logged on. My husband has told everyone about the site, he tells them before i can get near them. Mind you i have told a few, when i'm let. I have 8 sisters and 9 brothers so thats a start anyway. Admin. Keep up the great work. Love the site.

ann marie 73 13-08-2008 04:49 PM

I heard about it from my vbf and l just love the site. I have also told every1 l know....... Now if l could just learn how to get round jumbletown properly l would be happier......

bluecurlygirl 10-10-2008 12:06 PM

I've also asked raceagainstwaste and recycleireland to include a link to jumletown on their websites. Don't know if they have yet. I work in the Dept of Agriculture and I've put poster on notice board, I've also asked personnell to plug it on the ezone and I tell everyone I know about it. I have a few people hooked on it already and more to follow!! (Do I get commission yet!! ;-)

paprika 18-10-2008 02:23 PM

I heard about it from a friend who moved into a new house and got some stuff from JT.
I'm really happy I found this site, got a good few very useful items on it and met really nice people.
Keep up the good work, it's a great site!

site
 
I heard about this site from my friends while at the school gates and didn't bother joining til April and only started posting in the past few weeks when clearing out the house. Managed to shift a good few things but so far haven't been successful in acquiring anything. Ah well I'll keep trying cos I love browsing the site and I think it's fab and very well run. Well done Admin.

Heard about the site in the school magazine, The Primary Times. There was an article on saving money by MABS and they mentioned a few sites...this is the best one by far! (not just saying that either ;-P)

Hi Eocon,

Limerick's Live 95 fm has been good to JumbleTown since we set up in 2006. Ed Myers even gave us an interview on his show “Limerick Today, and the station's advertising team always organise an attractive ad package for us (paid for by Limerick's City and County Councils, courtesy of the Local Agenda 21 scheme).

Thanks for the feedback.

I read about JT almost 2 years ago in an Irish mag Prudence. It had a write up on what the site does etc. Although i thought at the time that it was mainly based in Dublin so i did not log on..... Prudence continued to advertise the site in future mags and also saw a link on boards.ie.....

im a member since November 08 and i have to say I'm hooked!

Boyf thinks that im acquiring more than i give away but i try to convince him that its all for a good cause lol - life cycling!

Hi jenniferalan,

Prudence magazine ("A-list lifestyle at realist prices") have been great supporters of JumbleTown over the past two years or so. Their frugal/thrifty ethos is similar to JumbleTown's. If JumbleTown were a magazine, it might look like Prudence. Recommended reading!

Many thanks for the feedback!
