Gifted
306d
- Pifco double electric under blanket, with instruction booklet. The under blanket is machine-washable once you have detached the electric cable. Once it has three heat settings, for some reason, it only works on the middle of the three, now. That’s a little bit hot for leaving on throughout the night, except on the very coldest nights. We have been gifted a new one, so we are giving this one away.

Storage jar w/ airtight seal (CB1 (CB1 (Petersfield) Mill Road)
Gifted
328d
- I’ve just re-organised some shelves in the kitchen, and this jar which, previously, was used for storing cinnamon quills no longer fits. It must be dishwasher proof because I’ve just put it through the dishwasher so it’s nice and clean. It is approximately 9 cm in diameter times 10 cm tall. So, 4.5x4.5xπx10 makes a surprising 2/3 litre capacity! (Do let me know if the calculation is incorrect.)

Christmas gift wrap (CB1 (Petersfield) Mill Road)
Expired

- Glitter-coated Christmas gift wrap as in the photo. I have used a bit of it, but I find it very difficult to handle as sticky tape doesn’t seem to adhere to it. I did successfully wrap one present by using Christmas ribbon to tie it up.

Old-fashioned filament lightbulbs (CB1 (Petersfield) Mill Road)
Gifted
1y
- Old-fashioned filament lightbulbs free to anybody who has use for this kind of bulb. You might need them because they are dimmable or because they give off heat. They are mainly 40 W and 60 W clear and pearl, plus an orange coloured bulb. There is also a spotlight, which, I think, is 75 W and a couple of mini globes, a candle bulb, and a pygmy bulb. These are all standard bayonet cap fittings. Also been given away is a 12 V, 20 W halogen lamp. These have been lurking around in the box of lightbulbs in the under-stairs cupboard for goodness knows how many years.

55 cm LCD,TV – not working (CB1 (Petersfield) Mill Road)
Expired
1y
- This 55 cm (21.6 inches), Technika (Tesco) LCDTV comes complete with stand, inbuilt, DVD player Samsung screen, 2 HDMI ports, ethernet port, 3 USB ports, SCART, RF in, CoAx out, common interface, and earphone socket. In the plastic bag is a working remote control, a guide and a USB dongle for connecting to home Wi-Fi. The TV ceased working two days ago, there be no functions available. This suggests that it’s likely to be a fault on the main power board. This might be useful to somebody who repairs and resells TVs, either for fixing and reselling or for, stripping, for components.

Walking stick (CB1 (Petersfield) Mill Road)
Received
1y
- My wife has had a few bouts of sciatica, and has borrowed an extendable, foldable walking stick from a neighbour for the last few days. After a two sessions of osteopathy, she is recovering. She would, however, like to have a stick of her own in case it’s needed in the future. Before going out to buy one, I thought it might be worth asking if anybody has an extendable, collapsible walking stick which they no longer require. Many thanks, Richard.

Polystyrene beads for beanbags (CB1 (Petersfield) Mill Road)
Gifted
1y
- 1 1/2 bags of polystyrene beads, for filling beanbags. I was gifted two full bags of polystyrene beads thinking that would need virtually all of those for filling a rather saggy beanbag which we have. It turned out that I only needed about 1/2 to 2/3 of one of the bags. So, having been gifted these on Trash Nothing, it only seems appropriate that I offer them on again.
