Free: Old pressure cooker not sure if working properly (Dodleston CH4) Expired 30d - I was given this by someone else and then another kind person helped me by supplying a colour of the instructions and some advice. I have kept the gasket sealing ring as a spare for my own similar pressure cooker. And I couldn't make the little ? "safety plug" move up and down as it should. So it probably should be used just as a large heavy flat-based pan perhaps, rather than a pressure cooker, unless you can solve this. Collection from Dodleston but I anticipate taking several days before I can respond to responses. Thank you, Nicola

Request: Christmas fabric (Dodleston CH4) Expired 173d - Had anyone got unused Christmas fabric or unwanted old clothes or items in Christmas designs please that they're not needing any longer please, thank you.

Thanks, Nicola Free: Digital protector not working properly needs attention (Dodleston CH4) Gifted 191d - Our community charity has found this digital protector to not be reliable I'm afraid. Sometimes it seems to not pick up the input although I think this can be a glitch that might not be insurmountable. But last time we used it the picture was blurred and it wasn't really usable. Maybe someone can make it work properly and can use it? Collection would be from Dodleston. Thank you Nicola

Free: Fire surround (Dodleston CH4) Gifted 1y - Lovely imitation stone fireplace. A friend in the village (Dodleston) no longer needs this, has already removed from the wall. It is three parts including two parts that fit against the wall plus the hearth base.

Same width for base, 41cm deep. hope I've not made any typos there. Nicola

Free: Cars and track hot wheels loop the loop type incomplete (Dodleston CH4) Gifted 1y - We have combination of two incomplete sets - some Tesco and some Hot Wheels including five nice cars but the launcher to launch the cars off lthe furniture seems to be missing so you'll need to be able to recreate this or manage without it.

Free: Charity that could use lots Barbies etc Christmas presents? (Dodleston CH4) Expired 1y - I have quite a large crate of Barbie dolls and imitation Barbie dolls and their accessories. I had wondered about selling them or giving to a charity shop but now wonder if they could be used for families in need to help with Christmas presents - does anyone know a charity that could take them to directly pass to families in poverty? We've accumulated them over a long period of time so have a lot and it might be better shared between a number of families as it's too much for a single family all at once I think! I'm currently waiting to hear back from kidsbank. I realise the charity shop is the other option of course. Thanks. Collection from Dodleston CH4.
