Request: Mobile phone that takes mini SIM (Blencarn CA10) - Does anyone have an old mobile phone that takes the bigger standard size of SIM? My stepdad's phone no longer works properly but he has quite a bit of top-up credit on his current SIM, which is one of the old larger SIMs (mini, as opposed to the newer micro or nano SIMs). A phone with physical number buttons would be ideal as he'd struggle with the more modern on-screen keyboards. He only uses it to make/receive the odd phone call. Thanks very much. Request: Yew, Holly or Juniper trees (Blencarn CA10) Received - We're putting in a new stretch of hedge and want it to be UK native evergreen. If anyone is planning to remove any Yew, Holly or Juniper trees, we'd be very grateful for them. We're after ones that are about waist height or slightly higher. Just standard UK native varieties... not variegated or special varieties. We'll obviously come and dig them out for you. Thanks very much indeed. Request: Blackcurrant or redcurrant bushes (Blencarn CA10) Received - Hello, does anyone have any blackcurrant or redcurrant bushes that you want to remove? I have an area of the garden that's no longer suitable for growing veg so I'd like to dedicate it to my favourite fruit! Any size would be much appreciated. Thanks very much. Free: Scanner (Blencarn CA10) Expired - This is a combined flatbed scanner and printer, but the printer side of things isn't working. (It does print, but I can't get the black ink to work... the other colours do work.) It could be useful if you just need a scanner. It's an HP Photosmart 5510. Collection from Blencarn or can arrange a handover in Penrith.

Free: BT phones - two handsets (Blencarn CA10) Expired - BT Synergy phones - two cordless handsets with base unit, including answering machine.

One of the batteries looks visually OK but the other is slightly corroded. Collection from Blencarn, 10 miles east of Penrith.

Free: Lamps, breadmaker, DVD player, fan, kettles, photographic (Blencarn CA10) Expired - Would anyone like any of these items that were kindly given away at today's Freegle Give & Take event in Newbiggin, but which didn't find a new home on the day? Pink Alba DVD player 3 lamps Small kettle Breville Hot Cup (alternative to a kettle - great for anyone who just wants enough water for a cuppa and especially if you struggle to lift a kettle and pour, as this dispenses water into your cup) Chrome storage shelves Coffee filter machine Breadmaker Photographic equipment - darkroom kit? Wooden biscuit box Dimplex fan (note: no plug... perhaps it's designed to be wired into a wall switch?) I'm in Penrith once a week generally and can arrange a handover there, or collect from me in Blencarn (10 miles east of Penrith, 9 miles from Appleby).

Free: Dulux One Coat Emulsion - Peachy colour (Blencarn CA10) Expired - Dulux One Coat Emulsion - Soft Sheen finish. It's a colour called Northern Lights, which is like a Tuscan peachy shade. One pot feels pretty full. The other feels about half full. These were left over after today's Freegle Give & Take event in Shap today, so I'm not sure how long they've been open. Hopefully serviceable. They're in Blencarn (fellside) or I can also arrange a handover in Penrith.

Free: Fridge (Blencarn CA10) Expired - Hotpoint under-counter fridge. In working order and clean condition. Can stand alone (top and sides are clean with no significant marks) or fit under a counter. 3 door trays. Couple of shelves. Ice box. It has some of the usual wear for a fridge that's been in daily use... a few minor splits in the plastic on the trays; one hinge on icebox door is missing but it still fits snugly; upper plastic guard on top tray on door is missing. This has been our household fridge until now, but we needed one without an icebox to give us a bit more fridge space. It's in Blencarn (fellside, 10 miles from Penrith, 9 miles from Appleby).
