Free: Slow Cooker (Congleton CW12) On offer is our old Cordon Bleu slow cooker. It has seen great service over the years and has the benefit of a heavy-duty earthenware pot and lid. Sadly it now only works on the Low heat setting, but that's generally fine for longer/slower cooking. Any takers? Collection only please from near Congleton town centre.

Free: HP Deskjet Printer (Congleton CW12) Offering my father's old HP Deskjet D1470 Printer. Compact design with fold-away paper tray. Comes with power adapter and USB lead. There's still some ink in the black cartridge, but I think the magenta chamber in the colour cartridge is empty. Collection only please from near Congleton town centre.

Free: Aiwa VCR + SCART Lead (Congleton CW12) Gifted Anybody interested in our old Aiwa VCR? Also comes with a nice ribbon-style SCART lead with gold-effect connectors. Worked last time we used it, but no longer have a TV with SCART input. Collection only please from near Congleton town centre.

11d

Free: Wax Floor Polish (Congleton CW12) Gifted Probably two-thirds of a large tin of floor wax left over from a recent project. Has great coverage. I did 3 coats on our freshly-sanded hall parquet flooring which is about 10 sq metres. Quite hard work to apply if you rub it in by hand, but really brings out the grain of the wood, and leaves a lovely finish. Word of caution though: it does initially make the floor very slippery if you're in your socks! Bought from Toolstation (product code 13048) so you can read the product details online. Collection please from near Congleton town centre.

23d

Free: LED Downlight (Congleton CW12) LAP downlight surplus to requirement. Has a brushed chrome bezel and is fitted with a GU10 LED bulb. Fire rated, but being only IP20 makes it unsuitable for some bathroom locations. Collection please from near Congleton town centre.

Free: Scalextric Track (Congleton CW12) Gifted Offering a small quantity of Scalextric stuff that I've just found in our loft (itemised in 2nd photo). Sorry, no cars or controllers. Collection from near Congleton town centre please.

Request: Stamp Hinges (Congleton CW12) Withdrawn Has anyone got a small pack of stamp hinges please? And if you've got any unwanted foreign stamps too, that would be great. I'm giving my stamp album/collection to my Grandson, and realise there are no mounting hinges for him to use. New packets containing a 1000 seems an overkill! Thanks for looking.

Unextended length (as photo) is about 2m, and will extend to well over 3m. NB. It's very heavy and you'll probably need an estate car or van to collect.
