Not fully working fridge freezer (Chorlton) 2d - Please read all 👇before asking for this It isn't working properly. It freezes but the fridge isn't right. So it will need fixing. Or repurposing. The freezer compartment seems to work but, the cooling system is behind a panel in the freezer compartment. Which is perhaps why the freezer works but the fridge stops staying cool. Because it relies on cool air being blown into the fridge via fins which become blocked with ice which instead of automatically melting the fridge has to be switched off to be defrosted. During winter the fridge worked as long as I left it set below 2 on the dial. But eventually the gubbins behind the freezer panel ices up stopping cooled air being fanned up to the fridge compartment. It's about 8 years old but visually it's in really good condition. Has been well cared for. So it would be a shame for it to go to the tip. When perhaps it could be fixed or repurposed? If not collected it will go to the tip Tuesday.

Glass shower screen (Chorlton) Gifted 7d - Presumably fits between wall and side of a bath. I acquired this to use with my shower base but I found it to be too short. It does need a good cleaning.

Gas hob (Chorlton M32) Gifted 17d - Please read 👇before asking. See photo. Was gifted this. Stainless steel, four burners. Haven't tried it so don't know if it works.

Shower cubicle (Chorlton M32) Gifted 18d - When you respond please confirm you understand that the cubicle is still in situ so you will have to remove it yourselves. Which will involve disassembly. It's the shower cubicle only. Not the base. The base will at some point become available, at which time the person who takes the shower cubicle will have first refusal on it.

Portable CTV (Chorlton M32) Gifted 20d - It's a colour portable Panasonic (CRT) TV NOT a TFT. BUT as can be seen from the photos it works. With an external device. Freeview dvd etc. SCART on the back and phono sockets on the front behind a panel.

Clarinet - please read first (Chorlton M32) Gifted 20d - I was gifted this for a friend but they didn't want it. I know nothing about the claranet. It seems complete but it looks like it also needs tlc from someone who knows about these instruments. The case has slight damage and the claranet looks in need of a proper deep clean.

Reebok ZR8 elliptical cross trainer (Chorlton M32) Withdrawn 21d - It's heavy so will need two people to collect. I've part disassembled it to make it easier to transport. Will need a reasonably sized vehicle. Please don't reply with something like I'm interested, only ask for this if you definitely want it, have transport organised and so you will definitely collect. As it's being offered free, please don't ask questions as if you're considering purchasing it. As this was gifted to me and I've not used it I don't know if it's in full working order not do I guarantee it is fully working. I can say it seem it seems fine mechanically. If the control/display module doesn't work properly I've seen them available on eBay. If you're needing to hire or arrange a vehicle to collect I need to know this. Please provide a contact number. Please, No timewasters. Also please note. This is taking up valuable space and I've had an unbelievable amount of my time wasted. So if it's not collected by Wednesday afternoon it's with much regret I'll have no choice but to take it to the tip.

Round table 60s/70s (M12 Gorton) Gifted 32d - See photo. It rotates 360⁰ and has a detachable chrome base. Ideal as a coffee table. *Because of so many time wasters I now have to put the following in each post. *Please don't ask for an item unless you actually want it. I won't reply to messages where I think the person is a timewaster. For example. Instead if asking something generic like is it still available or I'm interested in this etc. Bookmark it. Then if you still want it later then ask the item but ensure you reference specific details. Also I'm far more likely to reply to requests where a mobile number is supplied.

Reebok ZR8 elliptical cross trainer (Chorlton M32) Withdrawn 47d - I was gifted this. It's not perfect condition but it seems like mechanically it's intact. As I've not used it I can't say if the control panel works but I've seen panels on eBay for not much money. I was hoping it would help with my health but my mobility is so restricted now I can't use it. The photos are of the new item. So not of this one. It is large and heavy so it will need two strong individuals. And a large (high roof or wide vehicle). Please don't waste my time, if you don't have an appropriate vehicle don't ask as if you have.

before asking for this (Chorlton M32) Gifted 103d - Please make certain you understand how long these lengths of wood are. See photos. Make sure you can transport them before asking. If they're too long for your vehicle bring along a saw to cut them to size. They're approximately 3.25m long. But this must be done outside so you'll need a saw that's traditional or battery powered. Also leave a mobile number and when you are able to collect.

Audio books (Chorlton M32) Expired 121d - THANKS to all who have suggested using the library I will check that out. But as someone has mentioned the choice maybe limited. Plus they are not to keep. I'm able literate so it's not that I cannot read but somehow I am affected by trying to read. And I've recently discovered that I do benefit from listening to audiobooks. I am a recent member of audible but that's going to be a slow process of starting a collection of books that way. And at nearly 60 years old, it's gonna take time to build up my collection and replace actual physical books that I just don't think I'll have the time to achieve, that way. So I was wondering if anyone out there has audiobooks they're not using? I'm not particularly into fiction although there is some fiction I do like including science fiction and stories and characters I've been introduced to like jack reacher for example but primarily I'm looking for self help audio books. For example I've a few Paul McKenna ones and I've just started listening to derren brown bootcamp audio books. I do tend to fall asleep through them but I would like to think I still absorb some of the content. I get headaches when I read. And no it's not that I need new spex. It's something else. Maybe to do with my being autistic Who knows eh. Anyhoo. Any help would be much appreciated. I am happy to receive any format including CDs cassettes and digital. NB.: the included photo is an example of what I'm seeking. Thanks for reading.
