Request: Car bike rack (Colwall Stone WR13) Expired 106d - Hi… just acquired a bike and could do with a rack to fit on my car (Mini hatch). Does anyone, maybe, have one lying unused at the back of their garage or shed before I go out and buy one? Thanks for reading… Request: Bird Cage (Colwall Stone WR13) Expired 165d - Hello… does anyone have an unwanted bird cage lying around somewhere? Condition not important as I want to dismantle it to use the grilles for a craft project. (Square or rectangular would be best but curved ends could work too) Thanks Request: Fire Resistant Plasterboard (Colwall Stone WR13) Received 297d - Hi… looking for an offcut of fire resistant plasterboard (normally has a pinkish coating) to deflect heat from a kiln chimney. Ideal size would be 80 x 70 cm but slightly smaller could work or could be trimmed if larger. Thanks for your help Free: DVD player (Colwall Stone WR13) Gifted 303d - Technika DVD player (not BluRay) with remote… simple/basic player, working but will need a HDMI cable to connect to TV/PC. Free to collect

Request: Fire resistant plasterboard offcut (Colwall Stone WR13) Expired 1y - Hello… does anyone have an offcut of fire resistant plasterboard… ideally 75 x 75 cm but may be able to manage with 75 x 50 cm? Thanks Free: Leather sofa (Colwall Stone WR13) Expired 1y - Time to pension off our large soft leather sofa after 20 years of faithful service… but life in it yet! Showing signs of wear… 5cm split in leather on one arm and a small hole on the side of the same one. Guess they could be fixed/patched if you know how. Cushions and arms also showing some wear and evidence of skin oils (yuk) absorbed into the leather. Could possibly be cleaned or covered with a throw. Comfy and sinkinable. Approx measurements: height at back 72 cms, width 185 cms, depth (front to back) 100 cms, seat height 35 cms, seat depth 85 cms. Arms/sides come off to make moving a little easier… but you’ll need a large estate car/4x4 or, more likely, a van to take it away. Needs 2 (strong) people to shift… may be able to help with loading Free to someone who can make good use of it. Serious enquiries only please. I’m going to be well fed up if I take the thing apart and then people don’t turn up! 🙂

Free: Multi-exerciser (Colwall Stone WR13) Gifted 1y - You remember that lockdown thing where people took up hobbies or exercise plans… well, thankfully, that seems over for now. Multi-exerciser (Aldi’s finest) for abs, legs, backs and all that sort of thing. Bought with all the best intentions but rarely, if ever, used. Free to collect if you think you can make better use of it than my tucking under a cupboard and pretending I never bought the thing. Instructional DVD and exercise chart included

Free: Battery powered lawn mower (Colwall Stone WR13) Gifted 1y - Sovereign battery lawn mower in working order… BUT battery nearing end of its life. I’ve tried in-store and on the internet but can’t find a replacement, built in obsolescence! The battery will take a charge but doesn’t hold it for as long as it used to… runs for about 10 - 15 minutes if grass isn’t too long or thick. Workable if you have a very small lawn or are prepared to do a bigger one in stages between charges. Blade could do with sharpening or replacement but mower is light and easy to use… could be a stopgap or longer term item if you’re prepared to work around the charging problem. Any use to anyone?

Free: Large box (Colwall Stone WR13) Expired 1y - Hi… can anyone use a sturdy cardboard box 48x 55x 32 before it goes to the dump after the weekend?

Request: Push/manual lawnmower (Colwall Stone WR13) Expired 1y - Hello The battery on my current battery-powered lawnmower has stopped holding its charge and I’m struggling to find a replacement… built in obsolescence! Rather than dashing out and buying a new mower I wondered whether anyone might have a push mower, in working order, that they no longer need? I’m not too bothered about type or make so long as it’s working and not to heavy to push. Thanks for your help
