Request: Dining Chairs (Cromford, DE4) Bit of a long shot but if anyone has a set of 6 dining chairs they could gift, I would appreciate taking a look & could give these a good home (mine are getting a little beyond repair).

Free: Lawnmower (Cromford, DE4) I have a Bosch Rotak 32 Lawnmower to gift if anyone is interested. It tends to cut out/overheat quite easily so I am not sure if that is fixable or someone can get it working better than I can. I don't think it is completely broken but it gives up quite quickly. I can demonstrate to anyone interested but if it can be fixed or someone can get it working more reliably again then it is a good mower. Otherwise I can take it to the recycling centre but I ddn't want to just get rid of it in case someone can perhaps fix it or get better use out of it.

Free: Electrical Items for Repair (Cromford, DE4) Withdrawn I have a few electrical items which no longer work (toaster stopped working only yesterday, blender I'm not sure when). Seems a shame to throw them away in case someone would like to take them and try and repair them?

Free: Mountain Bike (in need of some tlc) (Cromford, DE4) Gifted Ladies mountain bike - it needs some tlc - the chain snapped the last time my daughter used the bike so it will need a new chain but that can very easily be replaced as it has the little spring-loaded detensioning wheel thingy which makes it easy to take off and put on. With a bit of tlc this is actually a great bike, very versatile. My wife used it for years on the trails and around and about in Derbyshire - it has a very handy basket on the front which is detachable and a rack for the back (above back wheel) which is also detached at the moment but easy to put back in place. Would be a shame to take this to the recycling centre as hopefully someone on here can make the minor repair needed and get a lot of joy and use out of it.

Free: Long Co-Axial Lead (Cromford, DE4) Withdrawn Does anyone have any need or desire for a very long co-axial lead (this was from a satellite dish to sky satellite box connection)? I even have a nice little bix for it if you want that too :-)

Free: Sony DVD Player & Recorder (Cromford, DE4) Gifted Sony DVD Player/Recorder with original remote control Note: This has not been used or tested for a while (I don't have DVDs any more or I'd test it now) but worked fine last time I used it (which admittedly was a good few years ago now!) Free to a good home

Request: Decking (Cromford, DE4) Expired If anyone has some decking that they no longer need I would appreciate it for renovation of part of my own deck. I don't need tonnes of it (around 30m length in total) and would rather re-use than by new (both for aesthetic and eco).

Free: Washing Machine (Cromford, DE4) Gifted Excellent Washing machine in good working condition. Note: whoever comes to collect it will need to have with them something with wheels to transport it to their vehicle with - it is too heavy to carry and not possible to get a vehicle next to the building where it is housed. A sack trolley would be ideal but I actually transported it with a skateboard (just don't now have the skateboard unfortunately).

Free: Compact (3kg) Dryer (for repair) (Cromford, DE4) Gifted This has been an excellent and really convenient tumble dryer. Unfortunately it has just stopped working so in case anyone is better with these things than I am and wants to have a go at repairing it, I'm offering it here.

Request: Wooden Frame Double bed (Cromford, DE4) Expired If anyone has a wooden frame double bed they no longer need, then I would love to receive this. I have a room with a bed I thought was a double (or small double) but is a large single (110cm wide), not a standard size and I would like to change that for a double. It is a nice wooden framed bed and I will be putting that on here if I can find a double to replace it with.

Free: Cat food pouches (Cromford, DE4) Gifted I have a decent number of Butchers cat food pouches (still well within use by date) my fussy cat likes this food from the tin but won't eat exactly the same food from pouches. Would be a shame to throw these away.

Request: Washing Machine (Cromford, DE4) Received Maybe a long shot but if anyone has a washing machine in good condition that they no longer need, I would be interested in taking it and give it a good home. (Ours has just failed a PAT test so not safe) thanks, Alan

Free: Hen House (Project) (Cromford, DE4) Gifted It seems a shame to throw out our little hen house which I built according to my wife's very exacting specifications. It is in need of restoration - basically will need 4 new hinges (as these have rusted), and a new section of the roof making with a fresh bit of plywood. I can probably provide that fresh bit of plywood too. We don't have hens any more and I've been using the henhouse to store coal and logs for a few years instead but it has become weather-worn and in need of some restoration/TLC. Features of this amazing little hen house are: an openable section of the roof (when it works) to get access to the eggs from the two laying bays in that part of the hen house. Two separate laying bays. A rustic perch, doors on the side of the house that open and a tray that pulls out to enable 'mukcing out' easily. A cute arched door on the front with a latch and a little ledge under upon which a ramp can be placed. The entire roof comes off too for easy transport & access to the entire inside of the house. If anyone has hens and is interested, it would make a relatively easy and perhaps interesting project for someone and it would be lovely to see this go to another nice home and get a new lease of life as we travel a lot and don't have any plans to get more hens.

Request: Loft boards (Cromford, DE4) Expired Hi, if anyone has any surplus loft boards they don't need, I'd be happy to take them an give them a good home (well, my loft).

Request: Shoe Boxes (Cromford, DE4) Expired If anyone has a number of shoe boxes (or similar size boxes) I could use these for storage. I've just cleared my loft and need to put things back in a more orderly fashion. Annoyingly I recently chucked out a lot of shoe boxes which would have been useful for storing heavy stuff without making carrying them difficult. I'm trying to avoid putting too much heavy stuff in each box as I'm not getting any younger and it's a pain getting them in and out of the loft when they have any weight to them. Anyways, all that to say if anyone has some shoe boxes they don't need (or similar size/relatively small storage boxes), I can give these a good home ;-)

Request: Thermawrap (Cromford, DE4) Expired On the offchance. If anyone has any of this stuff they don't need - any pieces at all, old rolls or offcuts? I just insulated my loft with Thermawrap (looks like a cross between foil & bubble wrap) and have a few gaps left uncovered but not enough to warrant buying a new roll.

Request: Log Basket (Cromford, DE4) Expired If anyone has a decent sized log basket in good condition that they no longer need, I can give it a good home (mine is starting to fall to pieces) - maybe someone who is switching from a log burner to a gas fire? Bit of a long shot but thought I'd give it a try, you never know!
