Request: Scaffold board (Bilton Road CV22) 23d - Has anyone got a scaffold plank they no longer need please? I would like to add a shelf over my potting table. Doesn’t have to be a full length plank but minimum of 4’ would be required. TIA. Free: Grids for holding gravel, etc (Bilton Road CV22) Gifted 33d - I have 68 used grids for keeping gravel from spreading. They’re 40cmx60cm and I understand they interlock. Preference given to who can take all of them.

Free: Curtain lining, etc., offcuts (Bilton Road CV22) Gifted 86d - A quantity of offcuts of curtain lining, black out lining and pieces of other assorted cream and white fabric.

Free: Christmas Cactus (Bilton Road CV22) Gifted 189d - This was gifted to me as two 40 year old plants a few years ago which have been potted in the same pot. The flowers are a deep pink. I’ve run out of space for it - anyone willing to give it a good home please?

Free: Crocosmia (Bilton Road CV22) Gifted 220d - I have lots of crocosmia bulbs (see photo with pots of the bulbs - mostly in clumps). The other photo is to illustrate what they’re like in summer.

Free: Paint (Bilton Road CV22) Gifted 226d - Two tins of paint. The black lines indicate roughly what’s left.

Free: White waterlily (Bilton Road CV22) Gifted 250d - I have a small garden pond and a large white waterlily which has taken over. I want to clean the pond out as it’s silted up over the years. The water lily is free to whoever can help me remove it from the pond, obviously at a time to suit us both. A large container will be needed to transport it. Thanks.

Request: Timber for Men in Sheds (Bilton Road CV22) Expired 250d - Men in Sheds has started up again. It’s based in what was the Claremont centre and now an Age Uk office, on the corner of Bath Street and Clifton Road. They need wood, so if you’re clearing out sheds/garages and you have any kind of timber, big or small, it would be appreciated if you could drop it in to Men in Sheds. Unfortunately they’re unable to collect. It’s open on Wednesdays between 10am and 3pm - ask for Chris, who can also tell you more about what they do if you’re interested in taking up woodwork. It’s the second entrance to Age Uk, on the right in Bath Street as you come Clifton Road. Many thanks in anticipation. Free: Large bin bag of fabric remnants (Bilton Road CV22) Gifted 304d - I have a large bin bag of mainly cotton fabric remnants. There are some largish pieces of 1 metre or so but most are remnants from sewing children’s clothes. Would suit someone interested in patchwork or making dolls’ clothes, perhaps. Free: Single white panelled vertical radiator (Bilton Road CV22) Gifted 356d - A single panelled white vertical radiator - no idea about its btu output. No hanging fittings. Comes with thermostat. 180cmm tall x 45cm

Free: Crab Apples (Bilton Road CV22) Expired 1y - I have a very laden crab apple tree this year. Is anyone interested in having some for making jelly. Happy to bag them up in kilos.
