Laptop (Wigston LE18)
Hi all, I'm in Leicester and looking for an old laptop that someone's no longer using. I'm currently out of work and can't stretch to buying one, even second-hand, but I'd like to spend some of this time learning Linux and brushing up on technical skills. Spec really doesn't matter — I am ideally looking for a ThinkPad as they are quite sturdy but really anything from the last 10 years or so will do. Even if the battery's dead or the keyboard has a sticky key, as long as it powers on and the screen works, I can make use of it. Happy to collect from anywhere in Leicester or nearby. I'll wipe the drive myself, or I'm happy for you to wipe it first if you'd prefer. Thanks for reading. Ash

IKEA Malm Chest of drawers (Craven Road CV21)
Sturdy chest of drawers, 2 of the struts that are between the drawers are broken, they aren’t for support or anything and could be easily repaired either glued or a baton put behind, it doesn’t affect the function at all. Unfortunately I can’t carry it downstairs so would need 2 people and a large car or van to collect it. I can’t help in anyway with lifting it. Collection from Rugby town centre

'Floating' TV Stand / Coffee Table (Oadby LE2)
Hi friends. I am giving away my old TV stand / coffee table. It's made of solid metal and smoked glass. It can hold TVs of many different sizes (I used to have a 50" TV mounted on it). As you can see from the pictures, it's got a slight bit of signs of age... one of the rubber mounts is broken and another is slightly split. You can also see some of the plastic mounting clips are missing, but I have put a bit of duct tape on. The position of the TV can be height adjusted by moving the rubber mount positions. The width of the mounts can also be changed to move them wider apart or closer together. This means you can mount a variety of TV's on it. Once you mount the TV, you can also change the viewing angle as you can get the whole TV bracket to pivot either to the left or right. It also has some cable tidy guides / clips at the back. It's called a 'floating TV mount' because it gives the illusion that the TV is floating above the coffee table. As you can also see from one of the other pictures, I have put some arrows so I can give the dimensions (please note these are accurate to within a couple of cm): Blue line is the height from the floor to the top of the bracket = 112cm Green line is the height from the floor to the bottom of the bracket = 82cm Orange line is the height from the floor to the top shelf = 48cm Purple line is the height from the floor to the bottom shelf = 20cm Dark yellow line is the width of the table = 150cm Light yellow line is the depth of the table = 50cm Pink line is the width of the bracket = 80cm Red line is the height of the bracket = 30cm I have no idea if it can be taken apart, never tried, sorry. You will need 2 people to move it (it's not too heavy, but it will need 2 people to move it around). Smoke and pet free home. Collection only (can't deliver as I don't have a car it will fit in). Weekends only as I work during the week.

Garden Storage box (Oadby LE2)
Hi friends. Just wondering if anyone has one of those plastic waterproof garden storage boxes please? Something which is big enough to fit things like a mower and gardening tools (so roughly 4ft to 6ft wide, 3ft or 4ft deep and 3ft or 4ft high... or in metric that's roughly 1.2m to 1.8 wide, 0.9m to 1.2m wide and 0.9m to 1.2m high). Ideally if it can be taken apart for transport, else I don't have a car big enough to move it. Thanks in advance.
