Request: Broken wooden chair for crafting (West Hove BN3) Hi there. Does anyone have an old dark wood chair that they no longer need please? It doesn't matter what state it is in as I'm looking for something to use for crafting. I have been using the wood from one similar to the photo but anything with that kind of wood would be great.

Request: Piano music grades 1 to 7 (West Hove BN3) I have just restarted learning piano after a 40 year break, and wondered it anyone has any spare graded music books please. Anything from scales and arpeggios, sight reading, music pieces, etc. Anything from Grades 1 to 7 should be great. Thank you.

Free: Mahogany? veneer pieces (BN3) Gifted I found these as levellers under the keys of a 1920s piano. They look like the kind of thing used on Salvage Hunters The Restorers, and on YouTube furniture restorer content to repair chipped veneer on old furniture. Probably waste veneer from the piano makers. Anyone interested? Would also be good for marquetry work. Or leveling piano keys! It would be a shame to bin them as it's not something you can just pick up in B&Q.

Request: Old guitar strings (West Hove BN3) Expired Are there any advice guitar players out there who have used or spare guitar strings that are destined for the bin? I would gratefully repurpose them for crafting. My shoes are getting low and they are great for springy movements and flies on my moving sculptures.

Request: PG Tips instant black tea granules (West Hove BN3) Expired Bit of a long shot but does anyone has a jar of this or equivalent languishing in the back of their cupboard? It's great for camping and I would love to give it a new home I'm down to the last few granules and PG Tips no longer makes it. Even small amounts gratefully received as a little goes long way...

Free: Ricoh printer (West Hove BN3) Gifted Office grade printer/multi function device. As new. Instruction leaflets and cables included.

Free: Large rug for weed control (West Hove BN3) Expired I have a large wool rug, approx 180 X 220cm that had been outside so no good for indoors. It would be great as an allotment or garden weed control cover for a quicker start in the spring, it to keep the heat in the compost heap. I was given it from another freecycler but it was too doggy even after shampooing to have in the house. Just checking if anyone wants it before it goes to the tip.

Request: Sailing or boating clothing (West Hove BN3) Expired I volunteer with sea cadets and they will be training up the beginner instructors (that's me!) to be ready for next summer's boating with the cadets. So that means being in and out of the water all winter. If anyone has any boating clothing they don't use, I would be very grateful please, particularly winter weight. I currently have a pair of summer water shoes and a thick wetsuit. I probably need the following but also open to any ideas for other useful things: - gloves (small) - winter shoes (size 3 or 36) - women's buoyancy aid - rash top - any quick dry gear - dry suit? Anything really, as I'm starting from scratch. Thank you!
