Free: Fake Stove (Breadsall DE21) This seems to be made of MDF- certainly something like that. It doesn't have a door and is open backed. I think it may have been the surround for an electric fire originally. Someone gave it to me a few years ago, and I thought it might be useful ... Now I need the room in the shed!! It is a bit grubby. But if you can do something interesting with it, that would be wonderful! Let me know when you can collect.

Free: Yellow Water Iris Roots (Breadsall DE21) Gifted They are expensive from the garden centres, but once established they spread like crazy (hence this post!). Grow to about four foot and have amazing yellow flowers. Plant as marginals or deep water, or even in bog gardens and damp areas Got a lot so plenty for everyone, I suspect. Let me know if you'd like some!

Free: Matsui DAB Radio (not DAB+) (Breadsall DE21) Gifted Matsui DAB radio. It's quite old, and looks a bit tatty, but still working. With the change to DAB+ I've replace it as my favourite station has switched. I believe that most of the others change in January. However, FM is still around and this is a great radio for that! Really hope that someone can use it - possibly for shed or garage?

Free: Pair of Corner Shelves (Breadsall DE21) Gifted Made of pine tongue and groove planks, with support battens. Shelves are: 1" /2.5cm thick, 27 1/2" /70cm longest edge, and measure 18" /45.5cm and 19 1/4" /49cm on the sides that attach to wall BUT as you see from the picture there is an 1 1/2" /4cm flat right where they go to the corner, so add 1" /2.5 cm to each edge that goes against the wall. Hope that makes sense!! They have paint marks and need a good clean up, but are very strong so sure that someone can make use- even in a garage or shed!

Free: Old, Corded Phone (Breadsall DE21) Expired It's been in the attic for a while and needs a good clean. As far as I know, it does still work on a traditional landline. IT DOESN'T WORK on a router based landline. But if it's any use to someone that's better than binning it. Let me know when you could collect.

Free: Small Electric Hover Mower (Breadsall DE21) Gifted Works, and has a new "blade" to go with it. And you can get more. Don't know how old it is. The body has a tilt and turn pivot, to make going over rougher ground easier, I think. Hoping to arrange collection either Sunday afternoon or possibly next week sometime. Please say when you could pick up.

Free: Child's Scooter (Breadsall DE21) Gifted Jurassic Park scooter- it's old style, not electric!. Not sure of age range but the handle bar ajusts for between 29 1/2" to 32" and the foot plate is 10 1/2". It's got a great Dino on the footplate but the chrome has got surface rust and pitting. However the rust comes off easily and you could even paint it up. The back wheel has a pressure break on it. Hope that all makes sense - I may be using the wrong terminology!! Anyhow, hope it will be of use to someone. Let me know when you could collect.

Free: Old Fashioned Style Telephone (Breadsall DE21) Gifted It's about 30 years old - so not as old as it looks!! It "sort of" still work on a traditional landline, but sometimes you have to hit the ear piece against your hand or you can't hear anything!! IT DOESN'T WORK on a router based landline. It might be better as a display piece- I was wondering about it being useful as a drama properly or something like that. But if it's any use to someone that's better than binning it. Let me know when you could collect.

Free: Scramble Bug (Breadsall DE21) Gifted A multi directional ride along for under 3 years old. Apparently it does fold up more than in the photo, but not for me!! The handlebars wiggle, and I'm assuming that they are supposed to! It looks to be in good condition with just a little fading on the grips. You can download a manual online. Give me a clue when you might be able to collect. 😊

Free: Vintage Bar Stool (Breadsall DE21) Gifted No, I don't know where it came from!! It's too old for a fire label, of course. It's very solid and in pretty good condition - just one of the footrest plates partly broken. It could just be given a good clean and used - even the fabric top- or could be totally up cycled. It's 27 1/2" /70cm tall, 12"/ 30cm square at seat and 14" /36cm at base. Tell me what you are going to use it for, and when you might be able to collect! Fair offer policy applies.

Free: Baby Black Cherry Tree (Breadsall DE21) Gifted It's growing up from the root of my tree. It's about 3 1/2 feet tall- so I clearly didn't notice it last year!! It really can't stay where it is, so if someone would like it I can try to dig it up and make sure it has some root. It will need some TLC this year, to get it established. I'm thinking of getting it out either on Tuesday or next weekend and would like it to go to it's new home straight away, so let me know when you could collect.

They do need a good clean up, and the"veneer" could do with a drop of glue in places. They do work and sound pretty good. Fair offer policy applies. Please give an indication of when you could collect.

Request: Water barrel/ plastic barrel (Breadsall DE21) Expired I'm looking for a barrel that I can use to line an old wooden barrel!! So the size is important 🙁. Need something 32ins/ 82cm or taller, and ideally between 19ins/ 48cm and 21ins/ 53cm diameter (definitely not any wider). It's horribly specific but someone might have something somewhere?? Can collect.

Free: Large, Vintage, Tabletop Desk (Breadsall DE21) Gifted It’s certainly old, but don’t know how old. I know that it was in a butcher’s shop for many years and I think it’s pine. It IS big- Width 29 ins /74 cm, Depth 20 ½ ins /52 cm, Height at back 9 ins /23 cm, at front 7 ins / 18cm I intended to strip it back, but didn’t get round to it, so it’s better to move it on in its original condition . Then it will be up to its new owner to decide weather to keep it original, go shabby chick, or do it up completely! The lock does not work. Please tell me why you'd like it in your reply! Also, I'd appriciate an idea of when you could collect.

Free: Modern Sideboard/ Shelf Unit (Breadsall DE21) Gifted Laminate covered chipboard and surprisingly heavy and solid. Has a light wood finish. Size is: 110cm / 43 1/2" wide, 80.75cm / 30 3/4" high, and 34.5cm / 13 1/2" deep. There is a narrow base so the bottom shelf is not resting directly on the floor. Preferred collection time would be a Wednesday between 12 and 2-30 as it's not at my house. Please say if that works for you, or an idea of times that would. You will need a largish car to carry it.

Free: DAB Radio (not DAB+) (Breadsall DE21) Gifted Alba DAB radio. It's quite old but still working. Unfortunately with the changes to DAB+ I've had to replace it as my favourite station has switched. I believe that most of the others change in January. However, FM is still around and this is a great radio for that! Really hope that someone can use it - possibly for shed or garage? Fair offer policy, so a couple of days before I get back to you. Please let me know when you could collect (next week/ weekend).

Free: Large Wooden Box / Cupboard (Breadsall DE21) Gifted Made of wood coated chipboard. No idea what it was or was from! It's in good condition apart from a very round hole one end, and the door runners are missing from one side. Size is 115cm /45ins long, 46cm /18ins deep and 37 cm /14 1/2ins high There are 3 doors. Two are 33cm /13ins x 36cm /14ins and One is 33cm /13ins x 42cm /16 1/2ins. Together they fill the gap, but I'm not sure which order they should be in! All three have little square handles. You can see it all in the pictures. Preferred collection would be a Wednesday between 12 and 3 as item not at my house.

Free: Tall Bookcase (Breadsall DE21) Gifted Light wood laminate on chipboard,but a lot more solid than that sounds! It has four adjustable shelves (two each top half/ bottom half) and one fixed central shelf. One of the little plastic shelf supports is missing. Size is: 71 3/4 ins /182cm tall, 28 ins /71cm wide, and 11ins /28cm deep. Apart from the four shelves being loose it is in one piece so please make sure it will fit in your vehicle and that you have help to unload (help with loading can be given). UPDATE: think it might come apart but because they never seem to go back perfectly, if you'd like it in pieces we can give it a go at pick up time.🙂 Preferred collection would be a Wednesday between 12 and 3 as item not at my house.
