Request: Bamboo shoots/clumps/plants (Norton-Lees, S8) Anyone getting rid of any bamboo? We don’t really mind if it’s invasive or not, as it will go into a metal planter at the side of our house (not in the ground). We would like it to create a screen at the side of the conservatory to shield us from the neigbours looking straight into our conservator.

Free: White gloss extendable sofa table (Norton-Lees, S8) Gifted White gloss extendable sofa table, size (when not extended): 120cm x 70cm The sides pull out for each side to reveal some super handy internal storage. Perfect to pop a hot cuppa on it too, as you won’t need coasters thanks to the white gloss surface. The sides are hanging a bit when extended which also means that the table does not fully close but I am sure that can be corrected by having a play around with the hinges. Collection in S8 9NF, looking for a speedy collection as we need the space. Being a strong man or woman to help as the table is HEAVY!

Request: Cardboard (uncoated, any condition) (Norton-Lees, S8) Received We are undertaking some major landscaping in the garden and are looking for uncoated cardboard that we can put down as weed control. The condition of the cardboard doesn’t matter (smaller pieces is fine), the main thing is that the cardboard needs to be uncoated (I.e. the stuff that doesn’t have a shimmer). Not urgent, but if you have some that you are looking to get rid of, we will take it off your hands.

Free: Shelving unit on castors (Norton-Lees, S8) Gifted Small shelving unit on castors.
