Request: cover for ikea ektorp 2 seat sofa (Trinity EH5) 73d - I'm looking for a cover for my ektorp 2 seater sofa in a dark colour - preferably blue, grey or burgundy. My current white one is not at all practical with grandchildren around & after many years, even when washed now looks grubby! Maybe someone has an unused or used spare they bought sitting in a cupboard which would be very much appreciated! THANKS!

Request: NUTRI-BLENDER JR Ultra X-1000S OR SIMILAR (Trinity EH5) 73d - I was lent one of these at the end of last year when my partner was having a course of chemotherapy & was able to eat very little due to the side effects. I was making all different sorts of soup & smoothies on a daily basis & this proved invaluable. With another course of chemo on the horizon I am hoping to acquire a nutri-blender of my own. The one I was loaned had fantastic features that none of the others seem to have - different speed setting, different blades for hard foods, several cups & lids for storing etc. However, any nutribullet type blender would be very much appreciated! THANKS!

This is a combined tv/dvd player which we also used as a pc monitor while staying in temporary accommodation between house moves approximately 12/13 years ago. It has been unused since then & in storage. it has become separated from its cable & remote, which we haven't managed to locate, so we've been unable to check it's working - though it was before going into storage. We do have the manual for it & hopefully it should be possible to acquire a cable & universal remote. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS ITEM, PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU COULD COLLECT.

Free: stompa scorpio bed with pullout sofabed - needs repair (Trinity EH5) Gifted 162d - The photos above show a solid pine Stompa Scorpio bed (1990's) identical to one which we dismantled several years ago which has been in storage. It is a raised bed made from solid wood & has a double pull out sofa bed underneath & incorporates a desk with 2 drawers & a bookshelf. Unfortunately the screws to put it together cannot be found. There is no mattress for the actual bunk, nor cushions for the seat part of the pull out sofa bed, though we do have the back cushion which forms the pillows. The drawers also need a repair & from memory, there are a few small stickers on part of the bed. For anyone prepared to put in a little time & effort, this is well worth doing! This bed was used by 2 of my now adult daughters, then my granddaughter. It was fantastic having a sofa, desk & bookshelf & the pullout double bed was a boon for childhood sleepovers, as well as visiting adult guests. I've been loath to part with it but need to empty the storage unit where it has been housed as it is costing a lot of money storing things we may never have the space to use again. I really hope someone else can make use of this versatile piece of furniture!

Free: christmas tree stand (Trinity EH5) Gifted 191d - This is a heavy cast iron christmas tree stand - black & gold. The trunk sits in a well so you can add water if you want, to help prevent needles dropping. It has 3 bolts to screw against the trunk to hold the tree in place. It can be a bit fiddly so I would suggest you don't attempt this while tired. 😉 The 'handle' end of one of the bolts is missing but makes no difference to it's functioning. It's served us well for many years holding 7/8 foot trees but the bending etc required is a bit much now for our aging bodies. Hopefully someone else can get some pleasure from using it now.

Free: ensure plus advance nutritional drinks (Trinity EH5) Gifted 191d - I'm not sure if these will be of use to anyone since they are usually prescribed. For this reason I've been reluctant to post them. They were a gift to my partner, arriving last Christmas & I have the receipt of purchase should anyone need to see it. The total cost of the 24 220ml bottles was £92.40 & I feel awful about the potential waste if they can't be used, so decided to give it a try just in case someone CAN use them. They have mostly reached or passed their best before date as we've had them since Christmas, but this is not a use by date. They are the milk based ones rather that the juice based ones. My partner was prescribed the juice based drinks as he couldn't tolerate the milk based ones. He had no need or use for the gift which unfortunately was unnecessarily purchased by a well meaning relative in Australia. There are 2 boxes containing 12 each of mixed flavours. IF ANYONE CAN USE THESE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO COLLECT
