Free: Messenger bag (Llanishen CF14) Black messenger bag, roughly 14 inches/60 cm across. The main body of the bag zips up and is covered by a flap that fastens with the plastic buckles shown in the picture. There are a couple of Velcro-fastened pockets at the front too. It would hold a smallish-to-medium laptop but wasn't designed specifically as a laptop bag so doesn't have padding or anything. Used but working condition. I've had it for many years so it's definitely not new! Collect from Llanishen.

2d

Free: Cable organisers (Llanishen CF14) Grey plastic cable organisers. They cover your electrical cables. I'm not sure exactly what the point is but I suppose it makes it harder for pets to chew them? I can't remember why I acquired these in the first place! Collect from Llanishen.

2d

Free: Assorted Christmas decorations (Llanishen CF14) Gifted Hoping there's someone out there who'd like to decorate but hasn't got round to it yet! Decorations as follows: *Assorted gold baubles. They're in a box but they're not a complete set or matching. *Homemade paper chains, held together with a little wire loop so you can hang them from a picture hook or a nail in the wall or whatever * A few red baubles and a couple of parcel-shaped decorations * Two lengths of tinsel. One black and silver, one gold. Collect from Llanishen.

Free: Wales-themed jigsaw (2 PIECES MISSING) (Birchgrove CF14) Wales-themed jigsaw showing places, famous people etc. There's a bonus extra activity you can do at the end where you count the sheep. Bought this from a charity shop and was dismayed on completion to find there are TWO PIECES MISSING. I honestly think it should be a criminal offence to donate an incomplete jigsaw without fessing up...so I don't want to give it back to a charity shop, but perhaps there's someone out there who doesn't mind a couple of missing pieces? They're both at the bottom of the square if that helps. The kids still enjoyed doing the jigsaw! Collect from Llanishen.

29d

Free: 2-socket gang plug with v long lead (Birchgrove CF14) Gifted 2-socket gang plug, old but in working condition. (I've checked both sockets.) There's a handy light to show when it's plugged in and switched on. The lead is really long - hard to measure but I've tried and I think it's about six metres. Collect from Llanishen.

70d

Free: Four cushions for garden bench (bench not included) (Birchgrove CF14) Gifted Four cushions designed to fit my plastic rattan garden bench. The bench itself is now broken and off to the tip shortly, but I thought I would check to see if anyone wants the cushions for their own garden furniture? Black polyester, sponge clean only. They've got faded in the sun on one side so they now look purple (which I actually really like). You can turn them over to the black side but then the labels are showing. Pics show what I mean. The bench itself is about 126cm wide if that helps to give you an idea of size. Collect from Llanishen.

95d

Free: 3 whisky-themed publications (Llanishen CF14) Expired Three publications which might be interesting to the whisky lover. Book: 101 World Whiskies to Try Before You Die Book: Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2013 Map: the Collins Whisky Map of Scotland All in quite good condition. Collect from Llanishen.

107d

Free: Heated mat (Birchgrove CF14) Expired Electric mat that heats up, for putting underneath a rug in winter. It currently has a European-style 2-pin plug, but my dad says he'll put a normal UK plug on it if that's a dealbreaker for a potential collector. Very low electricity usage so a cheap way to warm your home (about a 2p an hour at current rates). The heat you get from it is very mild but still noticeably warmer than a tiled floor. Size: a metre square. Please not: this is NOT for putting on top of carpet, only stone or tiled floors. Do not use with a rug that has a rubber backing either. Brief instructions and safety info come with it - please do take half a minute to read before you use it. Collect from Heath/Birchgrove. I do realise this isn't exactly the right weather to be Freegling this...!

135d

Free: 11 glass ramekins (Llanishen CF14) Gifted 11 glass ramekins of the kind that you get free with Gu desserts. Gu describe them as "iconic" and there is a long list of possible uses for them on the Gu website. Also you can buy lids that fit them exactly, made by a different company. Probably can't share commercial links on here but I'll give you the details if you're interested. It's probably a long shot trying to give them away because most people already have a zillion, but worth a try before they go in the glass recycling. It's just possible someone wants them for crafting or as candle holders or something!

136d

Free: Storage box (Llanishen CF14) Gifted Blue storage box on wheels, I think originally from IKEA but I can't remember. From the ground it's 2ft/60.5cm tall. It's roughly 1ft/31cm both wide and deep. Has previously been used for keeping a garden shed tidy and as a makeshift bedside table. Used but clean condition - I moved it outside for the photos but it's normally kept indoors. Collect from Llanishen.

173d

Free: Microwave (Llanishen CF14) Gifted Big, old but working Panasonic microwave. There is a cosmetic fault with the door - the section of edging that frames the window is not securely attached and keeps falling off. (Second picture shows where the fault is.) It doesn't affect the working of the microwave and I think if you glue it back on it will be fine. Width 51cm/20 inches, height 28cm/11 inches, depth 33cm/13 inches. Comes with all the usual bits like the rotating glass plate inside and also metal trays. I've mislaid the instruction manual but I know I haven't thrown it out, so happy to post it on to whoever takes this when I find it (in the next few weeks, hopefully..) Collect from Llanishen.

173d

Free: Curtain hooks (Llanishen CF14) Gifted 2 unopened packets of curtain hooks (25 each, so 50 total) plus spares not in packet if you want them. Collect from Llanishen.

174d

Free: Partly working CDs (Llanishen CF14) Expired I have a bunch of CDs where my CD player will only play a few of the songs. No idea if the fault is my CD player or if I really do have that many damaged CDs. This is a long shot but does ANYONE have the slightest use for them? Happy to share details of what albums etc and which songs are playable if there's any interest.

225d

285d

Free: Telescopic oven rail (Llanishen CF14) Expired I didn't actually know what this item was, but I searched the code on the packaging - 561185425 - and the Amazon result suggests that it is something called a telescopic oven rail. Here's the link to something similar: Still in packaging. I can't remember why I have it, but maybe it's left over from the installation of my oven. Collect from Llanishen.

364d

Free: Reindeer pattern pyjamas (Llanishen CF14) Gifted Set of cotton pyjamas with a reindeer pattern (see close-up pic), originally Tu Woman at Sainsbury's. The label says size 10 but they are a very small 10 - would suit someone with roughly a 26" waist. (The waist is elastic but it's not very forgiving.) Inside leg measurement roughly 27". Might be good for a small adult woman or a teenager? Previously worn, obviously clean, definitely need an iron. Collect from Llanishen.

1y

Free: Broken portable CD player (Llanishen CF14) Expired Portable CD player, probably over 20 years old. Like the old Discman but not the same brand. Not sure why it's not working, but might just need a different power source. Anyone looking for a project? Collect from Llanishen.

Free: Ice-cube trays (Llanishen CF14) Expired Ice-cube tray that came with my freezer when it was new a couple of years ago and has never been used (still sealed in packaging).

1y

Free: Books for learning German (Llanishen CF14) Gifted Three books to help you learn German: Letts study guide to GCSE German German grammar book German dictionary None of them are at all new, but how much has the German language changed in the past few decades anyway?!

1y

Free: Wooden crates (Llanishen CF14) Expired Three wooden crates left over from a garden landscaping job. Might be suitable for building a composter. You can get a good idea of the size from the pictures, but I took one measurement and they're roughly 37inches/ 94cm across. Collect from Llanishen. You don't have to take all three.

1y

Free: Lots of plastic clothes hangers (Llanishen CF14) Gifted I know this is a long shot, because everybody has way too many! But before I take a big pile of plastic coathangers to the tip, does anyone want them? About 20-30 of them, assorted sizes and styles. Collect from Llanishen.

1y

Free: Cotton sleeping bag liner (Llanishen CF14) Expired White cotton liner for a sleeping bag, only used a few times but slightly torn at one seam. Might be useful for camping but I was actually thinking a sewer/crafter might want it for the material. It's probably about six feet in length. The pic should give you an idea of the size. Collect from Llanishen.
