Thumbs up Skills Exchange and Swap Sites

This looks a brilliant idea - Skills Exchange "The Skills Exchange Service is based on a very basic concept. Offering our own skills or services to others on a personal basis in exchange for the skills and/or services that they can offer us in return. A kind of skills / services swop shop or bartering service."

Anyone had any experience of it all or in an exchange right now?? LOL my only problem would be not having much to offer anyone

Another site is Time Banking UK - "Time Banking UK is the national umbrella charity linking and supporting time banks across the country by providing inspiration, guidance and mutual help.Time banks link people locally to share their time and skills. Everyones time is equal: one hour of your time earns you one time credit to spend when you need." This is very similar to a scheme my mother ran in the 70's for babysitting amongst friends.

Another version but more for business is BarterCard

Others for clothes swapping are Big Wardrobe

Covert Candy
- The CovertCandy community is a platform for you to easily share and swap clothes with other stylish fashionistas.

Swishing Online - is the first website to allow you to swish online. Unlike other clothes swapping websites, you are not limited to swapping clothing with just one person or left waiting months to swap your item... if at all.
