Request: Bulb-holder for Table Lamp (Rishworth HX6) Having knocked over one of our bedside lights and broken the stem which fixes the actual bulb-holder to the base I have struggled to find a replacement to buy. Does anyone have a bayonet fitting one with a 10 mm stem that they don't want, please?

Free: Single beds (Rishworth HX6) These are about 40 years old but have had very little use and are in decent condition. They were used (alternately) by my mother before her death in 1996 and have been my spares since. The bedding is not included. We are happy for them to go either singly or as a pair but please don't ask for both if you only need one. We would prefer them to be collected (the legs unscrew but they don't split across) but I'll consider helping with delivery if it's close to somewhere we would go to anyway (principally Rishworth - Sowerby Bridge).

Free: Table/desk fan (Rishworth HX6) Expired Unknown make but about 14" high with 2-speed, 9" fan. It also oscillates and tilts. It belonged to a relative who died earlier this year and seems to be in good working order. I think it can also be assumed to be very safe electrically as it came covered in PAT testing stickers from his care home.

Free: Nokia 105 mobile phone (unlocked) (Rishworth HX6) Gifted This is a very unsmart phone. Very suitable for a non-techie person who just wants to make and receive phone calls, though it does do texts. About 3 years old, it belonged to a relative who died earlier in the year and was in good working order at that time. I have checked that it charges up and turns on and off perfectly well but can't actually confirm phone operation as it no longer has a SIM.

Free: Radio/CD player (Rishworth HX6) Gifted It's an Alba CX400 radio (MW & FM)/CD player which belonged to a relative of my wife who died earlier this year. It appears to be in working order and I know that he was using it until going into hospital shortly before he died. Collection no later than next Wednesday (10/07) if possible.

Free: Battery for Acer F15 (Rishworth HX6) Expired This is a battery I replaced because its working life had dropped to a couple of hours and I was intending simply to take it for recycling. when it occurred to me that it might still be useful for someone who had an even worse one. It is the 6 cell version (AS16B5J) so check what you need carefully as there is a 4 cell one and the two are not interchangeable. Don't ask for it unless you want it and are willing and able to collect from Rishworth.

Free: IEC Power Cables (Rishworth HX6) Expired Two are bare wire to IEC C14 right-angle plugs (RS 488-882), the 3rd has a straight plug (RS 445-734). There is also a straight plug without a cable (RS489-251. All are unused with three in original packing. Available individually or together. Please don't ask if you don't want and aren't willing and able to collect.

Free: Frying pan (Rishworth HX6) Expired On offer is a very sturdy 10"/25cm frying pan suitable for use on all heat sources. We have replaced it because the non-stick coating is no longer as good as it was. We also have another frying pan and a selection of kitchen utensils, all of which came from a charity for which we volunteer and are of poorer quality, though still better than nothing.

Free: Toolbox (Rishworth HX6) Expired On offer is a plastic, Wickes toolbox. It's about 2' long and 8" x 8" cross section with a couple of shallow storage sections in the lid, visible in the 1st photo. Its internal tray is missing because it got damaged so it might be more useful for general storage than as a toolbox. If you don't actually want it or can't be bothered to collect it (from Rishworth) please don't waste time asking for it. I will allow 24 hours before promising it.

Request: Length of plastic pipe (Rishworth HX6) Received I could do with about ½ metre of 40 mm plastic waste pipe but can't buy less than 3 metres. Does anyone have a suitable bit they would be willing to donate please? Can collect most times over the next week, or so.

Free: Selmar Battery Charger (Rishworth HX6) Gifted This is an elderly, but still functional, battery charger, rescued from a relative's garage when he had to go into care. It doesn't have multi-stage charging but it works (or did a few weeks ago when I tried it). Don't ask for it unless you want it and are willing and able to collect (from Rishworth).

Free: Sangamo PR1n timer (Rishworth HX6) Expired This is a single channel programmer designed primarily for the timed control of central heating and/or hot water systems, though it won't switch heating loads directly. Ideal for use with a combi boiler. The programmer can be configured for 24 hour, 5/2 day or 7 day operation with up to three on/off timings per day. PR1ns are still available, new, for about £40.
