Request: Curtains approx to fit a window 75"x 60"width (AB23) - I went searching the charity shops in Aberdeen only to find my favourite one, the Salvation Army has closed, and no charity shop appears to stock curtains any longer. Apparently they don't sell well. I only have the approximate measurements of the window as it is in our youngest son’s flat. I think a 75 inch drop approximately 190cms for a window width of approximately 60 inches or 155 cms. Happy Freegling all!

Free: Magazines (AB23) - I took two RSPB bird magazines and I think 7 National Trust magazines from about 2012 into a school hoping they could use them.

Low number Ellon Rd AB23 8EA., easy parking, good bus route. Contactless collection. Request: handkerchiefs, mens. (AB23) - I’m married to a man who likes old-fashioned cotton or linen hankies.

Request: Cat scratching post (AB23) Expired - I have a short post which my Hamish will only use if I scratch on it to get him started. This I do when he’s attacking the stair carpet or furniture.

Mary Free: Honda Civic roof rack (AB23) Expired - Honda Civic roof rack. Specific for Honda Civic only, a big disappointment to us when we achieved our newer car, having been told our Civic was no longer worth servicing by Steve of RSL Motors. We trusted him having known him for years since recommendation by another local tradesman. It has been lying for a couple of years as I did not realise we couldn’t use it, so it needs a dust down. AB23 8EA easy parking. Free: Denby tea pot lid (AB23) Expired - Very good condition, no chips. Sadly the pot died long ago but my friend is convinced someone will need this lid. I do hope so (and that they read Freegle!) approx 9 cms diameter. Sorry my photographer went ahead before I found the ruler, can't give dimensions as temporarily mislaid lid. I'll confirm size when giving contact details. Low number Ellon Rd, easy parking.
