30w 240v Florescent tube (Chalford Hill. GL6.) 12d - I'm hoping someone has a spare florescent 284mm tube that will fit my shaving light as mine seems to have gone and the LED replacement that I've ordered doesn't work in the lighting unit and I'd like to see if it's the tube or the unit that's broken before I order a new shaving light. Thanks.

Sedum plant. Pretty pink flowers (Chalford Hill. GL6.) 12d - Hi All, Just realised that I have a self seeded Sedum in my raised bed that I really don’t want there !! It flowers for quite a long time with the pink flowers coming out on spikes, is very hardy and is a good infill plant in a border. If you’d like it you’ll have to bring a hand fork and trowel to dig it out along with something to carry it away. Collection only from Chalford please.

Nut cracker (Chalford Hill. GL6.) Expired 162d - Hi, has anyone got a redundant nutcracker that they no longer use that I could put to use please ? Reason I ask is that I got rid of my late Mum's as I didn't think I'd need it, then moved into a property with a huge hazel hedge - now have lots of nuts and nothing but a hammer to solve the problem !! Can collect pretty much any time after 2pm most weekdays.

Nintendo Wii console (Chalford Hill. GL6.) Expired 173d - I'm hoping that someone has a Nintendo Wii console that is no longer used that I could put to use. I've bought a refurbed Wii Fit for my Wife as she thinks that will be a good way for her to keep mobile and keep the weight off too !! Sadly, being a techno numpty, I didn't realise that other stuff is needed to make it work !! Can collect anytime after 2pm most weekdays and I'm not doing much this weekend so can collect any time that's ok for you. Thanks in advance.

Garden Fleece/delicate plant cover (Chalford Hill. GL6.) Expired 195d - Does anyone have any garden fleece sitting around doing nothing as I'm trying to not ram my greenhouse and lean to with overwintering semi delicate plants but would like to fleece them and put them out of any windy / frosty bits in my garden. I can pick up anytime after about 2.30 on weekdays and anytime over the weekend. Thanks.

3 x tempered glass sheets (Chalford Hill. GL6.) Expired 207d - I have 3 tempered glass sheets measuring 85 x 61 cm x 1.5mm (?) on offer. Got these to cut to size to replace some broken panels on my greenhouse - only to find out that cutting tempered glass is a bit more complicated than cutting normal greenhouse glass !! Hopefully someone can use them for their greenhouse or to make a cold frame. Collect from Chalford Hill please.

Go System blow torch head (Chalford Hill. GL6.) Expired 214d - I'm hoping someone has an old Go System blow torch head that they no longer have use for - I will shortly be doing some flashing on my lean to's roof and whilst I have a full canister of fuel, I cannot find the blow torch head - I suspect I loaned it to someone but it was a very long time ago !! I could buy one but frankly paying £25 for something I'll probably only use once in a blue moon doesn't seem sensible. Here's hoping - I can collect promptly anywhere within a 10 / 15 mile radius of home in Chalford. Thanks

Wheeled Medium Large Suitcase (Chalford Hill. GL6.) Expired 325d - Hi All, having given away our large Samsonite suitcase a couple of years ago as we didn't think we'd need it again we find ourselves a suitcase (or 2) short for an unexpected upcoming trip to France, so we are hoping that someone out there has a used but useable suitcase (preferably with wheels) that we could put in an ask for. I can collect anytime after 2pm most weekdays and anytime on the weekend. Thanks in advance.. Hugh

Garden hose attachment Trigger type (Chalford Hill. GL6.) Expired 355d - Would anyone have an old trigger type attachment for a garden hose lurking in a drawer possibly ? Reason I ask is that mine, having been brought out of hibernation a couple of days ago, seems to have disintegrated internally !! I got a bit of a soaking when I turned the tap on to test it !! Can collect pretty much anytime over the bank holiday weekend. Thanks.

Exercise Bike (Chalford Hill. GL6.) Expired 1y - Possibly a long shot ; my Sister in Law wants to lose weight and get a bit fitter, however, walking or running are out of the question due to knackered knees so I suggested an exercise bike. However, she's a bit reluctant to shell out for a new one if she then finds she either can't get on with it or just doesn't enjoy using it, so the question is, does anyone have an exercise bike that isn't used and is just taking up room / collecting dust, that they could donate to help her, not too worried about cosmetic condition, just as long as it works ? I can collect anytime over the weekend or most weekdays after about 2.30pm - I may need help lifting it into my car as I have a bit of a back problem. Thanks in advance.

Pressure sprayer (Chalford Hill. GL6.) Expired 1y - I'm hoping someone has a redundant, working pressure sprayer lurking in a shed or garage that they no longer need as I've come to realise that watering the plants on my deep windowsill is getting a bit messy with a watering can !! Picture above for illustrative purposes. Can collect most days after 2.30 ish. Thanks.

Knitting machine - ideally 48 pin (Chalford Hill. GL6.) Expired 1y - Bit of a long shot, but does anyone have a knitting machine, ideally 48 pin lurking in a spare room that's no longer used please ? I'm asking on behalf of a friend who is starting to really suffer with arthritis and she really, really loves to knit (Bobble hats are her speciality, which she sells on behalf of a range of charities, hence the request for a 48 pin machine - apparently this makes a larger hat or something !!) sadly her condition will only get worse hence this request. Can collect most days after 2.30. Thanks.

Cummerbund (Chalford Hill. GL6.) Expired 1y - Bit of a long shot, but does anyone have a Cummerbund in any colour / condition, lurking at the back of a wardrobe that they no longer use ? Reason I ask is that we've been invited to a surprise fancy dress party tonight and I've dug out my late Father's dress RAF uniform (which spookily fits perfectly !) but it does need a cummerbund to look right - needed quite urgently please !

wire and pipe detector (Chalford Hill. GL6.) Expired 1y - If anyone has a wire and pipe detector that is languishing, unloved and unused in a garage cupboard, I'd really like to give it a new home as I'm going to be hanging some kitchen cupboards soon and don't relish the thought of hitting a pipe or wire !! Thanks. Can pickup pretty much any day after 2 ish.

Infiniti Gravity Strider (Chalford Hill. GL6.) Gifted 1y - Hi All, I have an Infiniti Gravity Strider / Exercise machine that a lovely person on here gave me a couple of months ago, the idea being that my wife could use it to improve her knees and I could use it for general fitness ; sadly, it's rather larger than we expected and as such it's sat in my shed, not being used, which is a bit daft. As such I'm rather hoping someone can use it rather better than I have. Collect from Chalford only please. The photo is a generic one as the original is rather hidden behind stuff !!
