Commode, steel frame, vgc (Barlborough S43) Expired Brown painted tubular steel frame and brown wipe-clean padded back and seat board. Given to us but we have never used it, I don't think previous owner had either. Bucket and seat are very clean. Frame wants a wipe only from storage in shed. Few white paint marks on the seat board that goes over the bucket when not in use [it came like that]. Bucket has lid for between use/carrying to empty. You can buy liner bags and absorbent pads to make use even easier and save cleaning the bucket. Perfect for someone who can't get to the loo. Please say when you would collect, just off Slayley View Road Barlborough

Small CD player (Barlborough S43) Expired The plug-into-computer disc player i've been loaned won't play my DWP PIP assessment CD's, though it will play normal music ones through the pc. I think it's a software problem with the computer, so hoping someone has a working player I can use beside the pc to check the truth [or lies] about my assessment. Would freegle on or return to giver once this job is done.

1950s children's atlas (Barlborough S43) Gifted "My Second Atlas" 64 page softback. Full colour every page from 1 to 64. Lots of painted illustrations, and questions to get the reader to think about the information. A real dive into history, too good for the recycling. Memory work material?

283d

'Grape Ivy' [rhoicissus] cutting or plant (Barlborough S43) Expired Would any kind soul have this houseplant, big enough to spare me a snippet to try and grow? Our parents had them up till the 1970's, but it seems completely unavailable at garden centres now. Many thanks.

283d

OLD superking quilt (Barlborough S43) Expired Feather and down, issue why we stopped using it is that much of the stitching has gone, so the filling moves to the edges etc. Ideal if you have the time to move it back and stitch up the gaps, or just use folded as a mattress topper for a smaller bed, or insulation, pet bedding etc. Or even unpick the remaining stitching, compost the feathers and use the case which is very good quality cotton, as sheeting/quilt cover. Non smoking no pets home, not laundered but well aired. Quick collection appreciated from near J30/Dobbies.

308d

Old 'Ready Bed' (Barlborough S43) Gifted All packed up in branded drawstring bag, would rather not try getting it out. believe it is a double and did inflate ok when last used but this was many years ago. But no guarantee!

324d

Vintage doll's pushchair (Barlborough S43) Expired Well worn but great play value. Larger and sturdier than many modern ones, will take quite a big teddy - 70 cm handle height. Folds down. Pale blue metal frame, white wheels with solid tyres, lots of wear to paint and would benefit from rubber on the brake but a rubber band will do. Recline or sit upright position. Fabric seat in denim and floral and velcro [so removable] is what I sewed about 30 years ago as it came without then. Struggling to part with this but only grandchild too old now, so please offer a home where it will really be appreciated! Collect Barlborough.

328d

Small wall/floor tiles, rustic look, good quantity (Barlborough S43) Expired These are 65mm square. Some are unused on mesh backing 5x5tiles, approx 345mm sq per mesh. And the rest are rescued from our old kitchen, some cleaned already by soaking in rainwater which takes all the old cement off. In total enough for about 5metre run of splashback to a good height, at least. They are a gorgeous warm orangey/reddy brownish colour, with darker spots and dark edges. They were expensive due to being thick enough for floor use as well as an interesting rustic look. Please think carefully if they are really what you want, as some of them would need to be fetched from elsewhere, so not available immediately. Welcome to come and have a look if interested to see if they are what you want. Barlborough S43 4WB
