Free: Jam jars - 2 sizes - for marmalade or jam makers (Cardross G82) - We have a fair number of jars left over after making this year's batch of marmalade. Some are 'standard' jam jars and some are the larger ones that originally had mayonnaise etc in them. Could anyone out in Freegleland use them? In passing, Ardardan near Cardross still has marmalade oranges available and I'll gladly pass on my recipe! Free: Lilac wool carpet offcut ~ size 195cm x 63cm (Cardross G82) Gifted - This is an unused offcut from a wool carpet. I hate throwing anything out so wonder if anyone else could make use of it.

Request: Photos of Cheltenham - Andoversford railway (Warden Hill GL51) - I now live in Hatherley next to the line of the railway from Cheltenham eastwards to Andoversford. Does anyone have photos of the line when it was in use, especially in the Hatherley and Bourneside area? Free: Pair of steel gate posts, just over 1 metre tall (Warden Hill GL51) Expired - As seen. One of them (pictured) is out of the ground and has a lump of concrete on the bottom plus a holder for wooden fencepost; it is pretty heavy and will need two people to lift it. The other is still in the ground so will need a spot of digging to get it out; I guess it too has a lump of concrete on the bottom.

Request: Wheelchair (Warden Hill GL51) Received - Now that my wife has significant walking difficulties, I am looking for a wheelchair for her.

Free: Large Bomsund/Sandbacken [4+ seats] IKEA sofa (Warden Hill GL51) Gifted - This is a long sofa with seating space for (at least) four people. It’s IKEA name is “Bomsund” for the frame and cover, and the cushions (seats and backrest, also outer cover) are called “Sandbacken”. It has cream fabric covered seating and back rest cushions and is in very good condition. It can be dismantled IF you have the appropriate 6-sided Allen Keys (I don’t) but I do have the instructions to reassemble it. It's available now ~ the sooner the better ~ but will need either a van or very large estate car / MPV as the frame does not come apart ~ unless you have the Allen keys mentioned above. Sorry because of IT problems no photos possible but inspection invited as I’d hate to dump it.
