Free: plastic plant pots (Chorlton M21) Gifted black bin bag of around 30 mostly medium and large plastic pots for re-use. Mostly grey and brown pots, a couple of pink ones, a yellow one, a square green rose pot. I can no longer upload photos to Freegle (for some obscure reason that the Moderators can't help with) but I will put a photo on Freecycle and you can look there, or you can contact me and I can email a photo. Collection from Chorlton, near Beech Road Park, or I may deliver locally to a school gardening group or Brownies or similar. If interested please put your postcode or area in your reply.

Free: plastic flower pots (Chorlton M21) Gifted collection of around 60/70 plastic flower pots, black, grey, brown, green, mostly small for potting-on, some larger, plus some green transparent plastic plant cell boxes. I can't upload photos any more, Freegle just sits my iPhone photos in a box with an uploading symbol but the wheel never stops turning but I can send photos if you give me an email address, or the pots are also on Freecycle and FreelyWheely, which will both take my photos, so you can see them there. All to go together, please - maybe a school gardening club? or anyway someone with more space and more focus on seedling welfare than I can manage. Collection from Chorlton near Beech Road Park. Light and could fit in a shopping trolley or bicycle panniers if you don't have access to a car. If interested, please put your postcode or area in your reply.

Free: Cot Bed (Chorlton M21) Gifted White Mamas&Papas cot bed, solid flat ends made of some kind of board with a foil covering, easy to clean, plus 2 barred sides and mattress base, 5 pieces, plus all fixings for assembly. Standard cot bed size, so bigger than a plain cot. No mattress, it is safer to buy your own anyway. I have photos but for some reason can no longer load them on to Freegle, only to Freecycle (Moderators/Tech Support have tried to help but no success) but if you send me an email address, I can send photos direct. One end of one of the side bar pieces is slightly split (shown in a photo) which does not affect assembly or use, the split is hidden against the cot end when assembled, but meant that Wood Street Mission would not take the cot. Collection from Chorlton. I could deliver locally to someone without their own transport. If interested, please put your area or postcode in your reply.

Free: large pallet (Chorlton M21) Expired Large double pallet used to deliver a bath. I have offered it to someone asking for pallets on here, but no reply, so it is now out for everyone.

Free: Old beeswax polish (Chorlton M21) Expired Two pots of beeswax, one full, one half-full.

Collection only from Chorlton, close to Beech Road Park. If interested please put your area or postcode in your reply.

Free: DVD player (Chorlton M21) Gifted Working LG DVD player, with remote. It is meant to be multi-region but was refusing to play my NSTC DVDs, would only play British/European DVDs, and none of the online programming sequences to make it region-free was working. It was actually cheaper to buy a new multi-region DVD player than it would have been to get a region 2 copy of the DVD I really wanted to watch. It definitely works for region 2 DVDs. You might be able to make it multi-region again, but no guarantees. If interested, please put your area or postcode in your reply, and please say what you want it for. Collection only from Chorlton, close to Beech Road Park.

Free: Knitting magazines with patterns (Chorlton M21) Expired Vintage (1980s?) Phildar and Mon Tricot knitting magazines with garment pictures and patterns, plus a few additional booklets. Covers not in perfect condition, but instructions complete. Mainly children's knits, a few adults; so old that they can be back in fashion. I dug them out of store when someone from a Knitting Group asked for patterns, but it was too far for her to come, so I am now offering them on here. Ideal for a Knit-and-Natter or Knitting Circle group. If interested, please say in your reply what for, and where you would be coming from. Collection only from Chorlton, M21, close to Beech Road Park.

Free: solid wood flooring (Chorlton M21) Gifted I have taken-up two 2.5m by 3m floors of high quality solid wood tongue-and-groove flooring. Both were sound and in good condition. The intention was to replace one floor, and refit the other using the good planks from both, but the T+G has stuck over time, and it was not possible to separate them cleanly, so there are larger pieces still stuck together, and smaller pieces with broken tongues in the grooves. The individual planks are 9cm wide and 18mm thick, and various lengths. They are smooth-surfaced on the front and grooved on the back. The big piece in the photo is back-outwards, showing the grooves. There are 2 more pieces behind it. They are probably not useful for a good floor, not without quite a lot of work, anyway, but could be useful for boarding a loft, or other similar less-perfect job? Collection only from Chorlton, close to Beech Road Park. Priority given to someone who can collect this weekend, as I have a skip now and will put all the smaller pieces in it (rather than make a couple of journeys to the tip) if no-one wants the wood. Priority also given to someone with a good collection record, not several 'thumbs-downs', as non-collection is tiresome and will be very inconvenient.

Free: washbasin on cabinet (Chorlton M21) Gifted Clean and sound white ceramic washbasin, no chips or cracks or surface crazing, on a small melamine-faced chipboard cabinet. Collection only from Chorlton, near Beech Road Park. Priority given to someone who can collect this weekend.

Free: large carpet (Chorlton M21) Gifted Square of good quality carpet, around 3.8m by 3.9m. Dark and lighter reds mixed tufts woven into a mesh back covered with felt. Good clean used condition, as you can see from the photos. It has been in an upstairs room and not heavily used. It is still very good but I do not want the dark red. Also the underlay, if wanted. If you want this you will need to have suitable transport. It is now folded flat with about 70cm width, then folded in half so is about 2m long, and is very bulky. I cannot deliver. Collection only from Chorlton, near Beech Road Park. In your reply email please say where you will be coming from, to help me choose if I have several replies. Also what your transport arrangements are, and when. I will not reply to requests without this information because it tells me that you have actually read the post, and may actually pick up.

Request: 2m length of garden hose (Chorlton-cum-Hardy M21) Received I need a short length, about 2 metres, of green or black garden hose to attach to my water butt overflow where there isn't a drain, to take the overflow to a convenient flower bed. I can cut down a longer length, and it doesn't have to be perfect hose, a few holes would not matter. I am in Chorlton, High Lane close to Beech Road Park.
