Free: Swan under counter fridge and freezer (Wilmorton DE24) White Swan fridge and freezer. Bought second hand last year in a broken fridge emergency situation, now ready to pass on. Happy to give away separately. These have some surface wear and tear, but still function well. Dimensions: Fridge: 2 internal glass shelves and salad crisper. 3 door shelves Depth 53cm Width 50 Height 82cm I have photographed the back of the fridge and it appears to be metal (this is best for fire safety!) Freezer: 3 draws Depth 57cm Width 55.5cm Height 82cm I can’t get to the back of the freezer to see the backing material. I’ve been assuming it’s metal as well, but can’t confirm yet. They both fit in the back of a Honda Jazz (with seats folded down) at the same time.

Free: Cream Martin and Parker 3 Seater Sofa (Wilmorton DE24) Beautiful quality old sofa, in need of some tlc. This would make a great restoration project and has served us well with some throws for a few years (as per first picture). The frame is fantastic and i’ve just been holding onto it for this reason. They don’t make them like this now! I’d planned on restoring it but don’t have the time, energy (or expertise!). I’d love it to go to a good home, especially if it can be renovated one day. I have asked for a quote to have it professionally done and it was about £800-£1000 (unfortunately out of my budget). It would be worth around £2500 at that point. The side profile photo is older as it showed the wooden legs better where it was located then. The fabric has yellowed and become a bit scruffy over time and there is a bit of staining, in that the appearance is a bit mottled overall. Measurements Width: 200cm (slightly under as padding has probably gone down a bit) Height: 97cm Depth: 95cm at deepest part. Cushions on top mean the top leans back to around 100cm It would need to be collected, but happy to help get it into a vehicle. Once the cushions are off it’s quite manoeuvrable and has wheels on the front legs.

Request: Computers (West Bridgford NG2) I am a retired Advanced Lecturer in electronics. I am currently looking for computers and laptops that I can refurbish and gift to people who are not in a position to buy. Suitable computers for donation are: Purchased after 2015. Windows 11 & 10 computers (that may or may not be Windows 11 compatible). Note: Microsoft's support for Windows 10 ends in October 2025 (however, if you pay £30, minimum support can be extended for 12 months - this price doubles for each 12 months extension thereafter). Laptop or desktop tower (including standard, mini and micro towers especially). I do not charge anything for my time or the computers that I gift so it helps if they are in working order. Many people remove the hard drive as a security measure though it is not always necessary. Microsoft gives advice and instructions on how to prepare your computer for donation. Just search for "How to Prepare Your PC For Sale or Donation" and select the Microsoft's Support Page. If you prefer, I can remove personal data (by securely shredding and formatting) before carrying out a total re-installation of the Operating System (Windows) in accordance with Microsoft's instructions. If it is not possible to re-install Windows, I install the Linux Mint Operating System. Demand far outstrips supply so I am grateful for donations. Thank you for your consideration.
