Request: Small aquarium, and pump (Blencarn CA10) Does anyone have a small aquarium going spare? I need a small one to use as a hospital tank for when fish in my main tank get ill and need treatment. Around 30cm long would be great. Or, if anyone has an aquarium pump, that would be great too. Thanks very much.

Free: Plastic filing cases (Blencarn CA10) Expired I have two A4 filing cases going spare. They're in good condition, except that the closure catches are broken on both of them. They vaguely stay closed when there's not muich in them but you'd just need to put a rubber band or something on them to keep them shut if they're full or you're carrying them by the handles as they gape open then. For a handover, I'm in Blencarn, but am in Penrith a few times a week if that helps.

Free: Selection of printer cartridges (Blencarn CA10) Gifted Cartridges from a few different types of printers. Some new and still sealed. Others were taken out after the printers themselves stopped working. A few were brand new, in an attempt to get one of the printers going. If you've got a printer that uses them, it'd be great if someone could get some use out of them. Collection from Blencarn or Penrith.

Request: Sturdy stakes for trees (Blencarn CA10) Expired I need to stake up some youngish trees and need some sturdy stakes around 5 feet long or longer. Some of the trees need posts or battens, and thick canes would work for some that are smaller. If anyone has any lying around, they'd be much appreciated. Thank you.

Free: Office desk (Blencarn CA10) Expired This is a large office desk with 2 drawers. It's been in the shed for a long time and the veneer on the top has split in places. Drawer handles are missing. But the structure of it is very sound. Metal frame. It could be cleaned up and used as it is, or upcycled. I upcycled an identical one, by putting sanded pallet boards on top of the original surface, it and it worked really well (see last 2 photos). Note: The one I'm giving away is the one in the first 8 photos... not the one in last 2! Collection only from Blencarn (10 miles from Penrith).

Request: Mobile phone that takes mini SIM (Blencarn CA10) Expired Does anyone have an old mobile phone that takes the bigger standard size of SIM? My stepdad's phone no longer works properly but he has quite a bit of top-up credit on his current SIM, which is one of the old larger SIMs (mini, as opposed to the newer micro or nano SIMs). A phone with physical number buttons would be ideal as he'd struggle with the more modern on-screen keyboards. He only uses it to make/receive the odd phone call. Thanks very much.
