Free: Pair of Grey Jumbo Cord 2-Seater Sofas (Trimley St Martin IP11) Free to a good home. This is a matching pair of two 2-seater grey jumbo cord sofas originally purchased from eBay. Both are in clean, solid condition. Quantity: 2 x matching 2-seater settees. Cushions: All removable cushion covers for both sofas have been freshly washed and stored indoors. Sofa Frames: The main sofa frames have been thoroughly cleaned and are currently being stored covered up in our clean garage for easy access and collection. Pets/Smoking: From a smoke-free home. Please note we do have a cat, though the sofas have been thoroughly cleaned before going into storage. Important Note: The original fire safety tags were accidentally snipped off when we first bought them, so they cannot go to a charity shop and are being given away privately for personal use only. Collection Requirements: You will need a proper transit-sized van to collect both of these at the same time. Because they are currently located in our garage, it is a very easy, flat lift straight into your vehicle with no stairs to navigate!

Request: Upgradable Tower PC (i7 - Dell, HP etc) for 3D Printing (Capel St Mary IP9) Hi everyone, I am looking to take my first steps into 3D printing and design, but I am in need of a capable computer to run the slicing and modeling software.I am looking for an older business desktop or engineering workstation featuring an Intel Core i7 processor or AMD (Intel i7 (8th Gen+) or AMD Ryzen 7 (2000 series+) Ideally, I am looking for one of the following models (or similar):Dell: OptiPlex (Mini Tower/MT) or Precision TowerHP: EliteDesk (Tower/TWR) or Z-WorkstationLenovo: ThinkCentre (Tower/TWR) or ThinkStation because I need to add a dedicated graphics card to the system later, it does need to be a full-sized tower model rather than the slim/SFF or micro/tiny versions. If any local businesses have recently upgraded their office IT systems, or if anyone has an old machine sitting in a cupboard or garage, I would be incredibly grateful for a donation. I am more than happy to make a charitable donation to a cause of your choice, or offer a token of appreciation in return.(Note for data safety: I am completely fine taking the PC without a hard drive, as I can easily install my own.) I can collect promptly at a time that suits you. Thank you so much for reading!
Request: Wooden 2-Drawer Office Filing Cabinet (Light Wood) (Capel St Mary IP9) Hi everyone, Hi everyone,I am looking for an old wooden 2-drawer office filing cabinet (ideally in a light oak, beech, or similar wood finish) to reuse as a sturdy stand and tool storage unit for a 3D printing project. As I will be upcycling and modifying it, I am completely happy to take one that needs repairing. Stiff drawer runners, missing handles, or broken internal rails are absolutely fine! If any local businesses are clearing out any office furniture, or if you have an unloved unit taking up space in a garage or cupboard, I would love to give it a second life and save it from the tip. I am very happy to make a charitable donation to a cause of your choice or offer a small token of appreciation in return. I have transport and can collect promptly at a time that suits you. Thank you very much for reading!

Free: Ice skates complete with skateguard (Manningtree CO11) These are a Continental size 41 (UK size 8) but one normally needs skates two sizes above one's shoe size so they would fit someone with shoe size 6 About 50 years old, but haven't been used much in the last 45 years, and are in good conditions. Unusual colour, as you can see - people used to comment on it when I was skating as a teenager.
