Free: Apple Watch (large/ultra) strap (Norton LD8) It came with my pre-owned watch, is like the Ultra apple strap but isn't something I'll use. Only fits the larger Apple watches. Collect Norton.

Free: Cables (Norton LD8) Having a cable sort-out. Almost every gadget still comes with a cable and most are duplicates. So...we have: 1. Two ethernet cables (these are to connect to a router for things like CCTV camera hubs/printers/hive etc) Both 1m. 2. 1 short USB-C to USB-C connector (this is the current industry standard smaller USB - the latest phones and computers have these) 3. A selection of USB to USB-C cables (this is the boxy USB to the current smaller connector) - these range from 50cm down to 15cm It's probably not worth driving miles specifically for a single cable but if you're local and could make use of any of these, come over to Norton and pick one up.

1d

Free: A Box of buttons (Norton LD8) Promised Like many people we've fastidiously kept spare buttons, mainly now from items we no longer own. As part of our stuff-draw clearouts, we offer up the treasure of random buttons to the local sewers of Freegle. Collect Norton.

5d

Free: Ceramic Mid-century Floor tiles (Norton LD8) Promised I have removed a section of floor tiles from our 1970s home and most have come up without damage (although they could do with a clean on top - there is little to no adhesive residue). They're very obviously from the era - non-glossy and red/brown - but they could be repurposed if they suit your decor. There are approximately 200 tiles. Come and have a look if you're interested. Collection Norton.

Free: Cat supplies (Norton LD8) Gifted We have a few items that may be useful for current or future cat owners. You can of course ask for one of the specific items from the list if you don't need everything. We would like these picked up ASAP in Norton so obviously anyone able to collect will be a priority. 1. Cat litter tray with lid(large) with almost complete 10L bag of litter (tray has been thoroughly washed and is recent) 2. Cat basket 3. Self heating cat-pad - this has a thermal lining that retains and reflects heat so doesn't plug in 4. Cat bowl (metal bowls spoken for) 5. Cat bowl - double for wet food/crunchies and water 6. Cat food - variety of wet food, dreamies and dry food 7. Flea treatment x2 8. Appetite stimulant (for older cats or after illness - was recommended to us and is brilliant and really works!) Collect Norton.

Free: Wardrobe doors (Norton LD8) Gifted Five wardrobe doors 2m height. Were part of a fitted set. Very robust. Might be useful as worktop/shelving in a garage if not as doors? Have the sides too but they have some damage so can’t be reconstructed. Save them from landfill!!

Free: Bamboo floor samples (Norton LD8) Gifted If you've been thinking of getting wooden floor samples, save the postage and planet (a little) and have these six. We sent for them but they aren't what we're going with so before they go in the wood recycling pile, would anyone like them?

50d

Free: Tiles - 3 matching 30x60cm and a couple of random singles. (Norton LD8) Withdrawn Leftovers from retiling and offered as part of a shed clearance. The wave pattern ones might do a small floor area?

68d

Free: Dimplex / Creda storage heaters (Norton LD8) Gifted We've had a house-full of storage radiators disconnected and are about to start removing them from the walls and from the house. They are in working order but we don't know how old they are although some are still current models. Obviously we'd like to avoid them going into landfill / for scrap if possible so we thought we'd see if they are useful to anyone either as heaters or for the heat-resistant bricks they contain. They obviously have to be partially dismantled to remove (they are monumentally heavy complete), and reassembled to install, but if one or more are of use then let me know and come and have a look before I start to dismantle and dispose of them.

72d

Free: White wall shelf. (Norton LD8) Gifted The shelf has white wood brackets and a formica shelf which matched some bathroom surfaces. You may decide to refinish it. Ideal for a shed or garage maybe. Size 125cm x 21cm. Collect in Norton.

75d

Free: Solid wood kitchen dresser (Norton LD8) Gifted Available for collection in Norton, a solid wood two-part dresser / kitchen unit. The upper has open wooden fluted slats to the front and a single shelf, the lower unit has two drawers and two cupboard doors, again with a single shelf. Currently in our utility room and, as we are preparing for some changes, it’s available for free. The unit has been repaired at some stage but it could certainly be refinished or used as is as. It’s 190cm high and the base is 55cm x 110cm. As it’s solid wood it is very heavy so it’s not going to be casually lifted into a car boot on your own. It comes apart into two units.
