Free: Headphones (bought 2021) - Right side stopped working (Kirkley NR33) 1d - Gaming headphones bought early 2021 - right hand side has stopped working and no idea if that can be fixed or not. They weren't expensive (probably under £20) and as you can see from the photo the padding covering has started to peel off a little. I was going to take them to the household waste site when I have a car load to clear but if anyone wants them they are free to whoever asks first and can collect.

Free: Brief case (Kirkley NR33) 1d - Black brief case...six number combination lock. This is pretty old but in pretty decent condition and has been in a cupboard for years. I need the space so having a clear out. Decent sized capacity, just needs a bit of a clean up / polish.

Free: TV Wall Mount (old but serviceable) (Kirkley NR33) 1d - Wall mount for TV - I have no need for it and although very old it's serviceable - just needs a bit of a clean up. It only has five screws for the six holes, but it's supported a TV on it for 20+ years so it does the job...and only needs an extra large screw anyway. I am Freegling the old TV that used to sit on it so if anyone wants that feel free to ask if it's still available.

Free: Laptop sized carrying bag - was a freebie many years ago (Kirkley NR33) 1d - Having a clear out at home and found this old carrying bag I picked up at a conference many years ago. Would fit laptop. Fairly basic bag but would be nice if someone could use it.

Free: Very Old Nokia Mobile Phone Case (Kirkley NR33) 1d - Came across this mobile phone case while sorting out some boxes of IT equipment. Not sure what model(s) it might fit but happy for anyone to take it if they think it might be of use. Free: Bush Colour TV (old - model 1434 AK20) (Kirkley NR33) Gifted 48d - This old style analogue TV used to be wall-mounted but hasn't been used as a TV since the analogue signal was turned off many years ago. I used to play DVDs on it, using a separate DVD player connected via a SCART lead, so this might suit someone's bedroom if they have a DVD player and want to play DVDs on it. I am also Freegling the wall bracket in case anyone wants to mount it on the wall, or have any other TVs they want to wall-mount. The TV is just taking up space that I need to clear...would rather someone use it than me dispose of it.

Free: Wedding photo album (Kirkley NR33) 69d - I was having a clear out of my front bedroom and found this...no doubt I must have been given it at some point but cannot recall when. It's a blank wedding photo album with a page to enter the Bride and Groom names etc followed by loads of pages where photos can be mounted. I will never use it, but if anyone can find a use for it, it would be nice to pass it on.

Free: DeLonghi Coolzone Deep Fat Fryer (model F34512CZ) (Kirkley NR33) Gifted 106d - Deep Fat Fryer (3 litre oil capacity) - it's an old machine (bought December 2011) but still works fine. We are no longer using it regularly as we tend to air-fry most things now so have downsized to a small deep fat fryer - was going to scrap it but thought to offer it here first. It could do with a thorough clean (I gave it a quick clean after emptying the old oil but it should clean up quite nicely with some hot soapy water). I still have the original user instructions to go with it too, and have included photos of it both assembled and stripped down as I cleaned it. Would be nice to think someone could benefit from it rather than it being scrapped.

Free: Old Desktop Computer - Not working but parts might be of use (Kirkley NR33) Expired 187d - Having a clear out of our old computers...this one has no hard drives or graphics card but there are some parts that might be useful for someone. Computer includes: Thermaltake Mambo Tower Case CD Drive MSI Motherboard AMD Processor Casecom power unit ATX-300W Elixir 2Gb RAM DDR2 SDRAM 240 pin

Free: Two computer keyboards (faded buttons) and old mouse (Kirkley NR33) Gifted 204d - I have an old Gigabyte KM-6150 keyboard and an old Dell keyboard - both have some faded buttons but work fine There is also an old mirrored Satechi mouse - although not sure if it still works. All are destined for the household tip but thought I would offer them in case anyone locally wants to take them for spares or some computer DIY

Request: Desk Lamp (any brand) (Kirkley NR33) Expired 218d - Looking for a desk lamp for my computer desk in my back bedroom...my eyesight isn't as good as it was and to read anything at my desk I need better lighting, especially in the evening, as the ceiling light is at the other end of the bedroom. If anyone has an office / desk lamp they no longer need I would very much appreciate it, thanks. Free: Smart SCART multi-port connector (Kirkley NR33) Gifted 222d - Very old tech - but this device from Blue Delta enabled up to four SCART devices to be connected at once to the TV. I used it years ago when I had multiple video recorders and DVD players etc but only one SCART slot in the TV. It's probably redundant technology now, as most modern devices don't use SCART to connect to the TV, but if anyone can use it that will save me taking it to the household recycling centre.

Free: Photography guides and video (Kirkley NR33) Gifted 223d - Having a clear out and found these photography guides and a related video...whilst the video tape is old technology these days, if someone can use this it would be far nicer than just chucking out the tape. The photography guides are quite helpful, even if you can't play the tape.

Free: Advanced Driving Books (Kirkley NR33) Gifted 223d - Ideal for anyone who wants to improve their driving skills, here is the Police driving manual, Roadcraft, plus another advanced driving book. The Roadcraft book is the basis of the advanced driving test (which I did over 20 years ago) - it's not the latest version but will be interesting reading if anyone is keen to take the test or just brush up on their skills etc.

Free: Blank Printable DVDs (100) and pack of CD Labels (Kirkley NR33) Gifted 232d - I used to produce DVDs of my holidays but stopped many years ago (all my footage now goes on YouTube) so I have a load of blank DVD-RW disks that can go to a new home. They are printable disks so if you have a printer that can print directly on to disks you can add your own label designs...also have a load of labels that came with a promotional pack that I will never use, so these are free to anyone who wants them. DVDs are 4.7Gb each so ideal for data back-ups or making home movies like I did originally.

Request: Garden Secateurs (Kirkley NR33) Expired 244d - If anyone has a pair of hand-held garden Secateurs they don't need it would be helpful to have one to prune our fruit bushes...currently resorting to using a knife and scissors but they are not really up to the task. Many thanks if you can help. Free: Collection of self-improvement / business skills books (Kirkley NR33) Gifted 251d - Having a clear out and came across these old books that someone might find helpful. Covers a range of self-improvement areas, such as NLP, hypnotherapy, negotiation skills, and various stories and tips to achieve 'success' in life.

Free: Two stick-on car window shades...cat motif (Kirkley NR33) Gifted 251d - Was having a clear out and found these two car shades (sticks on with suction cup) - fun car motif so would suit family. Size approx 17 inches wide and 14 inches tall. You cannot see from the photo but there are two of them. Would be nice if someone could use them.

Free: Beach bags and flipflops (Kirkley NR33) Gifted 252d - My wife and I won a few sets of flipflops on a couple of Marella cruises...however we don't really wear them and none of the pairs are our size anyway. Would rather someone get use out of them than just taking up space. Also included are a few fabric beach bags...picked these up at a cruise show a few years back but we have enough bags to last us, so if anyone can use them then please get in touch.

Free: Various toiletries, shaving kits, shoe mitts, etc (Kirkley NR33) Gifted 253d - Collection of various (mainly hotel) toiletries...mostly shoe mitts, shaving kits, dental kits, etc. I won't use them so would be nice if someone could get use out of them. Toiletry bag is included...I won't use it, so it might come in handy for someone.

Free: Teapot (Kirkley NR33) Gifted 256d - I have had this teapot for many years and it was stashed away at the back of the kitchen cupboard. These days we only use teabags so we just won't use it. Inside could do with a good clean but otherwise it's in very good condition. Mug included in photo for scale only. Would rather someone had it who would use it...it's just taking up cupboard space.

Free: Healthy Lifestyle Goodies and Leaflets (pedometer included) (Kirkley NR33) Gifted 258d - Collection of various healthy lifestyle items, including a red heart-shaped stress reliever, two resistance bands, a pedometer, water bottle, a healthy eating snack swapper suggestion wheel, a drinkaware calorie counter, British Heart Foundation 'keep your heart healthy' pamphlet, 'Swap it don't stop it' leaflet, a simple recipe booklet, NHS Five a Day leaflet, Eat Well guide to healthy eating. Items were from a losing weight course I did at work a long time ago...but they have sat in a drawer in my front bedroom for years - so if anyone can use them it would be great to pass them on.

Free: Cintura Sports Ergometric Exercise Bike (very old model) (Kirkley NR33) Gifted 260d - I have a Cintura Sports exercise bike (model DM-2880E) - it hasn't been used for years and has stood in the shed, so a bit grubby. I just plugged it in and it still works (see photo of display). It still has the original manual and power plug. It really needs a good clean up but someone could hopefully use it. The only damage I am aware of is the foot strap on one pedal is broken...not sure it that can be mended, but the last few times I used it the lack of a foot strap wasn't really a problem. It's full assembled so would need to be either transported as it is or someone will need to take it apart. It's just taking up space that I need, so I would rather someone who could use it take it than me taking it to the household tip.

Free: Chest of Drawers with Mirror (Kirkley NR33) Gifted 262d - Need to clear a space in my spare bedroom / home office to make room for some newer furniture - this three-drawer unit is very old and the drawers are a little temperamental but it's serviceable and will probably be helpful to someone - it needs a bit of a tidy up. If there are no takers it will be broken up and taken to the household recycling centre so would be nice to think someone could use it.

Free: Which? / Which Computing Magazines (2006 to 2021) (Kirkley NR33) Gifted 270d - I have a large collection of Which? magazines (Jan 2011 to March 2021) plus Which Computing magazines (Nov 2006 to Feb 2021) and a couple of Which? Car Guides (2021 and 2022). These are produced by the Consumers Association, commonly known as Which? Whilst the magazines go back a long way and the older product reviews won't be relevant, there are loads of interesting articles and handy guides to help save money through buying more reliable brands and that sort of thing. The Car Guides are pretty recent and are really useful if you are looking to buy a new or second hand car, noting the most reliable and liked cars as rated by their owners. I will simply put them in the recycling bin if nobody wants them. Happy to split if you only wanted certain ones. Thank you.

Free: Mankini - Novelty Gift (unopened) (Kirkley NR33) Gifted 1y - I received this as a novelty / joke present however it's really not something I will ever use so it's free to a good home if anyone can make use of it!

Free: Gaming Headphones (one side not working) (Kirkley NR33) Gifted 1y - I had these Ovann headphones for a few years but one side appears to have stopped working. No idea if they can be mended, but happy for anyone to take them rather than me dispose of them. Comes with built-in microphone and connects via two separate 3.5mm standard jacks. Free: Vacuum Flask and various reusable drinking cups (Kirkley NR33) Gifted 1y - Had a kitchen cupboard clear out and identified a variety of reusable drinking cups of different designs, and a small vacuum flask with cups. Many of the drinking cups were picked up at conferences or obtained as gifts etc. I will just never use them so would love it if someone could make use of these.

Request: clothes hangers with clips (Kirkley NR33) Expired 1y - Hello - My Mum is looking for some clothes hangers with clips...she had various skirts stored on normal hangers but as she didn't wear them during COVID all the elastic stretched and they no longer fit her. She is hoping to put her remaining skirts on hangers with clips but doesn't have enough of them. If anyone can help that would be great, thank you.

Free: Collection of mugs (Kirkley NR33) Gifted 1y - We recently had a kitchen cupboard clear-out and realised we had so many coffee mugs we will never use...so if anyone wants the lot, or just a selection we would rather they went to a new home than just be sent to the mug graveyard. Few different styles in there.
