Free: Broken radio: for repair/spare parts (Bletchley MK2) Promised Anyone interested in trying to repair this? Worked fine until I dropped it. ☹️

3h

Free: Wickes Hardboard (Bletchley MK2) Gifted Complete sheet. Dimensions in pic. Bought for a project but not used. Please liaise with me about when you can collect. Can’t do Tuesday daytime or Weds evening.

11d

Free: Bunch of organic radishes (Bletchley MK2) Withdrawn Came in my veggie box today. Please liaise with me about collection. Am around this afternoon/evening, for example.

19d

Free: Simple things magazine (Bletchley MK2) Withdrawn 11 mags. (Storage thing not included.) From 2020-21. Might be a tiny bit dusty. Please liaise with me about collection.

23d

Free: Sainsbury’s bath sheet (used) (Bletchley MK2) Withdrawn 100% cotton. Grey and white. In reasonable used condition BUT we don’t have a tumble drier, so it’s gone hard in the hard water here. Might be of use as a dog towel or might be usable again if tumble dried. Please liaise with me about collection times. Can’t do Wednesday evening.

39d

Free: Microplane grater (Bletchley MK2) Withdrawn The grater works well but the plastic on the handle is deteriorating a bit. Thought I’d see if it’s of interest to anyone before it goes to landfill. Please liaise with me about collection. Can do evenings (not Saturday).

45d

Free: Pair of Sanderson William Morris curtains (faded) (Bletchley MK2) Gifted Reasonable used condition, but I got them secondhand and they were already faded. The orange shades are particularly faded. The bottom hem needs some TLC to hide the lining. And there’s a small amount of fraying at the top of one of the curtains, which is not visible when they are hung. There are a small number of spots on the lining (again, not obvious when hung). Freshly washed but not ironed. There’s a good amount of material if someone can make use of it and doesn’t want them as curtains. Size: approx. 70 inch drop and 60 inches wide per curtain.

126d

Free: Used Hansgrohe Croma showerhead (Bletchley MK2) Gifted 3 settings. Still works but would benefit from descaling and possibly a new washer (old one included). Any interest before it goes to landfill? Please liaise with me about collection. Not available on Saturday/am unlikely to pick up messages on Sat.

139d

Free: Yale brass door chain (Bletchley MK2) Expired Used but in good working order/all parts included. Small amount of paint on one of the fixings. Please liaise with me about collection (not available/unlikely to pick up any messages on Saturday).

Free: Used stamps for charity (Bletchley MK2) Expired Does anyone collect used stamps for charity? I have an envelope full, but my colleague who used to take them has moved on. Not sure what to do with them now!

231d

Free: Bathroom mirror (Bletchley MK2) Expired Approx 45 x 60 cm. Fixings not included. There are some black marks around the edge of the mirror but these could be hidden with a frame?

Request: Food dehydrator (Bletchley MK2) Expired Does anyone have a food dehydrator lurking in the back of their cupboard that they would consider rehoming? Would be most grateful to take it off your hands.

254d

Free: Finnish espresso cups and saucers (Bletchley MK2) Gifted Were given to me as candles. I’ve burned them a bit but can’t work out how to get the rest of the wax out (the wick is spent).

Request: Approx 3 kg gravel (Bletchley MK2) Expired Might be a long shot but am looking to create a garden cat toilet for a cat I’m fostering. I need approx 3 kg of gravel for the bottom of the hole, but am finding it hard to buy/get such a small quantity delivered (and don’t drive). As I don’t drive so ideally collection from somewhere not too far from Bletchley, so I can carry it back! Thanks for reading this!

Free: 2 Wilko mini greenhouses, disassembled (Bletchley MK2) Gifted Been stored in a shed for the last while. The covers look okay and not chewed, but the rivets are a bit rusty. There’s a bit of rust on a small number of the poles and not sure if a couple of the poles are a bit squished, but there should definitely be one good house overall, possibly two... Collection only.
