Free: Large DVD / CD case (Cookridge LS16) Can't remember how many DVDs/CDs fit in there, but it's a lot. We don't need it anymore as we have thinned out our DVDs.

10h

Free: Book - The Colosseum (Cookridge LS16) I got it second hand some years ago. Although not new, makes interesting reading (lots of photos, too)

10h

Free: New/Mint - Civilisation and Oxford History of Classical Art (Cookridge LS16) I bought the books years ago but never even opened them. Would make great Christmas presents, as they are new and unmarked.

10h

Free: Wearable blanket (new and unpacked) (Cookridge LS16) Gifted I got this for Christmas last year, but never wore it, nor opened the packet. I remember seeing a photo of it and it looked warm and cosy (it's just not my kind of thing), but should be great for this cold weather.

16d

Free: large piece of gold curtain material (Cookridge LS16) Gifted I had this left over and kept it in a suitcase for some years (in case I wanted it again). The piece on the left is folded.

25d

Free: Ladies gloves, new and never worn (Cookridge LS16) Gifted I bought these to wear when I'm stargazing at night and sit outside. But then found others more suitable for that. I never wore them. I would think they were medium to large size

25d

Free: various net curtains, some new and unusued (Cookridge LS16) Gifted We are moving house and I just found these in a suitcase. Some were new and never put up and others had been used, but were too good not to keep. I had forgotten about them, but there are blinds in our new house and we won't need them. Most were for large windows, but can easily be shortened and reduced in width. Ignore the creases... as I said, they had been stored in a suitcase for a few years.

Request: Boxes for moving house (Cookridge LS16) Received I have a few hundred books and need boxes that are strong, but also not too big for my books. (If too big, the box will be too heavy to lift). A kind Freegler has kindly given me a lot of boxes already, but I have also been buying more. Are there any Freeglers out there who have the kind of box I am looking for and which are no longer needed?

27d

Free: 2 shirts, worn on stage decades ago (Cookridge LS16) Gifted Worn at a gig on stage in the early 1980s. They have been washed but not ironed. Size Medium.

28d

Free: 2 pairs of men's trousers, worn on stage, size skinny (Cookridge LS16) Gifted The one on the right is of corduroy material, don't know what the other one is. They were worn at a gig on stage a few decades ago.

28d

Free: Left over loft insulation (Cookridge LS16) Gifted I think it's 100 mm wide, but I don't know how much there is length-wise (don't want to unroll it to measure).

29d

Request: Moving home - dozens of boxes (Cookridge LS16) Received I've got a few hundred books; boxes I need can't be too big (otherwise the box will be too heavy), but should not be shoebox size either. Does anyone have boxes left from either decent size Amazon / etc. deliveries or their own move?

43d

Free: 3 Red Hot Chili Pepper CDs (Cookridge LS16) Withdrawn Played just once or twice

45d

Free: 2 Will Young CDs (Cookridge LS16) Withdrawn Played once or twice.

45d

Free: The curse of Monkey Island CDs (Cookridge LS16) Withdrawn It doesn't play on my Windows 10. On the DVDs it mentions Windows 95.

45d

Free: 2 fiddle DVDs for beginners (Cookridge LS16) Withdrawn I tried to learn the violin for a couple of weeks, but gave up quickly. Are they of use to anyone?

45d

Free: Complete course material for Open University Course SD805 (Cookridge LS16) Withdrawn This is for an MSc in Psychology. The module was 'Issues in Brain and Behaviour'. I took it in 2007 and kept the material. The two options given were on 'Neural Ageing' and on 'Addiction'. The various papers fill a box file. Due to house move I have to thin out books and papers. It seems a shame to throw it away. There is a lot of fascinating reading there if anyone is interested.

45d

Free: 10 forks and 8 knives (Cookridge LS16) Withdrawn Are they of use to anyone?

45d

Free: Pro Tiler Plus - Tile cutter (Cookridge LS16) Gifted Due to house move and future lack of storage space, we have to pass this tile cutter on to someone else.

46d

Free: Black and Decker Jig Saw (KS638SE 400W Superlok) (Cookridge LS16) Gifted We are moving house and simply won't have the storage space to take it with us.

46d

Free: Mitre saw (Cookridge LS16) Withdrawn Due to house move and lack of future storage space, this mitre saw has to look for a new home.

46d

Free: New/sealed: print of hand drawn Beatles portraits (Cookridge LS16) Gifted This was an unwanted Christmas present we got some years ago. The print has never been out of the plastic envelope it came in and is still sealed in. The pencil drawings are by Jonathan Wood, a great sketch artist. Being new and sealed, it'll make a great Christmas present.

48d

Free: Blow-up Christmas tree (Cookridge LS16) Gifted Something a little different... a blow-up Christmas tree that can be deflated and stored away for next year.

48d

Free: Truvox PD-102 reel-to-reel tape deck (Cookridge LS16) Gifted Apparently there is an instruction on how to use it still online. Suits a collector. It hasn't been used for a long time and just been in storage. Due to house move we need to part from it.

48d

Free: Gold braided sleeveless jacket (with mirrors) (Cookridge LS16) Gifted This waistcoat / sleeveless jacket was kept in a suitcase for three decades. The background material is black and feels velvety, with thick gold braids and mirrors in the circles. I am not sure whether it has ever been worn, I can't see any evidence of that. But having been stored in a suitcase for a long time, it could probably benefit from some airing. There are no fastenings at the front; it's worn open. I measured 46 cm at chest when it was laying flat.

48d

Free: More than 100 Ancient Egypt magazines (Cookridge LS16) Gifted I bought these many years ago and placed them in the actual binders, 12 in each binder. There are a number of loose magazines as well, 4 for Ancient Egypt, and 10 of KMT (A modern journal of Ancient Egypt). Publication dates are from July/August 2002 to April/June 2017. As far as I remember, they are complete with no issue missing. Due to house move and future lack of space I have to part with them.

48d

Free: Gardens of Europe (from antiquity to present) (in German) (Cookridge LS16) Withdrawn this book is new and unread. It covers gardens and how they were created, from antiquity to the present day. The book is VERY heavy, very big. Although the text is in German, it has of course lots of photos in side.

50d

Free: 3 A4 books on Statistics - Open University DSE202 course (Cookridge LS16) Withdrawn They are from an OU course in Psychology - Methodology Handbook - Part 1 Correlational Research designs Methodology Handbook - Part 2 Experimental Research designs Statistics guide Are they of use to anyone? I don't need them anymore.

51d

Free: German Christmas songs CD (Cookridge LS16) Gifted Contains 16 German Christmas songs.

51d

Request: Strong boxes for moving - esp. Hello Fresh (ideal size) (Cookridge LS16) Received I am slowly packing for our removal and still need more boxes. Having just used one of the Hello Fresh boxes, they are wonderfully strong. But smaller sizes are also perfect for the many books I have got (better to put them in smaller boxes, otherwise it's too heavy to lift).
