Free: Standard double storage bed (Southport PR8) Double memory foam storage bed, available with or without the mattress. It’s the type where the storage box is the entire underside of the bed and accessed by raising the foot of the frame on gas struts. The photo shows the type of bed it is. It’s would need two strong persons to move it. We need a hospital bed so that’s the reason for the offer.

Free: Shark Cordless vacuum batteries (Southport PR8) Gifted I have twin batteries and charging dock that were for a now deceased Shark cordless vacuum. If you have a cleaner that uses them they would be quite handy.

Request: Book or Flower Press (Southport PR8) Expired Has anyone got an unused book press, or failing that, a flower press. I have a large number of maps to sell for a local charity but they have been stored badly and on end. At the moment they are all S shaped and need flattening under pressure. Here’s hoping someone can help. Thanks Shelagh

Free: Drill Extension (Southport PR8) Gifted I haven’t a clue where this came from and have never used it. A flexible extension so that a drill can be used in awkward situations.

199d

Free: Jigsaw blades (Southport PR8) Gifted There are 8 of them bought for my Black & Decker jigsaw, which immediately rolled over and died. As it was about 20 years old I’ve got another one which doesn’t use this style of blade. Anyone want them? I think they fit most jigsaws, just not mine. They’re all unused.

Request: Laptop bag (Southport PR8) Received I just need a padded bag that will take an older laptop plus mouse and charging cables etc. Nothing fancy. Thanks Shelagh

Free: 5 lever door lock (Southport PR8) Gifted Just what it says on the box. The brand is Bird, not Yale.

Free: 3 non-ratchet screwdrivers (Southport PR8) Gifted As photo. The handles are very comfortable and don’t slip in my hands.

230d

Free: Wire drawers (Southport PR8) Gifted 56cm high, width 29.5cm depth 36cm. Could be used for storing small items in shed or garage, or used as a funky vegetable rack. Lightweight, came from Ikea.

Request: Piano Stool (Southport PR8) Received My husband has very shortened tendons in his right leg, preventing him from standing. He has been instructed by the physios to keep his leg raised and as straight as possible but at the moment we’re using a bathroom stool. We’d both love a padded top so an old piano stool would be the right height and ideal. If you’ve got one cluttering up the place we’d love to add it to ours.

254d

Request: Jewel Cases (Southport PR8) Received I have an excess of CDs and DVDs with no cases. Please has anyone got any spare cases for them. Any quantity gratefully accepted. Thank you Granbee

Free: Music centre (Southport PR8) Gifted Panasonic music centre, 5cd changer, Radio, usb payer, tape player, bass speaker as well as left and right. Remote control. Loads of speaker cabling. No room for this now due to enforced downstairs living.

344d

Free: Bedding for 2’ 6” bed (Southport PR8) Gifted A mattress protector and three single fitted sheets. These were purchased in error and have never been used and are still in their packaging, if anyone can make use of them.

Free: Travel Iron (Southport PR8) Gifted With carry bag and paperwork. It worked last time we used it.

360d

Free: 12 volt spotlight (Southport PR8) Gifted Excellent as an emergency in the car. It plugs into the cigarette lighter socket, has a very bright white light, and an orange cover. The long cord stores in the rear. The on/off switch is on the sturdy handle on the top.

363d

Free: Shells (Southport PR8) Gifted We used to use them for serving fish starters when having dinner parties, but those days are long gone. They were originally sold to me as suitable for food and I’ve had no problem with using them as servers - but not for cooking in.

Free: Pill container (Southport PR8) Gifted Unused. 7 day container with morning and evening capsules.

363d

Free: Carafe (Southport PR8) Gifted 1 large or 2 small cup Bodum carafe. Very clean condition and no chips in the glass.

Request: Banana Board (Southport PR8) Received My husband is not strong enough yet to bear any weight on his legs, but I’ve caught him trying to get from a chair to his wheelchair unaided. I’m just wondering if he had a banana board close by, and was taught how to use it, he’d be safer if I took my eye off him. If anyone has a now unused one I’d be really grateful.

Request: Wheelchair power assist (Southport PR8) Received It’s a big ask, but just in case someone has a power assist unit for a wheelchair I would be very grateful. The arthritic hips are giving me some pain whilst pushing my husband around.

Free: vax carpet washer (Southport PR8) Gifted I have a VAX RAPIDE ULTRA Carpet washer. This is very shortly going to surplus to our requirements as we are going to have to go down the hard floor route due to disablilty. I last used it for the whole of the living/ dining room in September and each half of the room was ready to be re-furnished within a couple of hours as it has very good suction. Somewhere I have carpet and furniture extentions, and I will dig them out whilst waiting for a reply.

Free: Two pretty dresses unworn (Southport PR8) Expired As photo. The size on the labels is XXL, but sadly for me that’s an overstatement. My guess is they would look great on a size 14 with or without a belt, and would skim a regular size 16.

Free: 3 fashion necklaces (Southport PR8) Gifted These are brand new but not my style. My favourite fashion brand keeps adding them in as extras. They seem to be good quality too.

1y

Free: Artificial pearl necklace (Southport PR8) Gifted Retro pearl necklace, not real I’m afraid, but it gives the look.

Free: Necklace (Southport PR8) Gifted If it wasn’t for the dark green colour it would appear to be coral. It isn’t lightweight plastic.

Free: Recorder & Harmonica (Southport PR8) Gifted Used, but your favourite antiseptic wipe will take care of that. Suitable for adults and children, but not for asthmatic grannies.
