Request: A used SIM card (Kemptown BN2) Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has a recently USED, still-active PAYG SIM card from O2, Three, EE, Lebara, giffgaff or similar (NOT Vodafone), which they are planning to throw away. It must be a used SIM card, not a brand-new SIM or starter pack. I know it's possible to get free SIM starter packs, but these often require an initial top-up before they can be activated. A little explanation: I already have a new, active Vodafone SIM with credit. However, Vodafone won't let me transfer my old number directly from another Vodafone PAYG SIM onto the new one. I therefore need to temporarily port my old number out to another network first, before transferring it back to my new Vodafone SIM. The SIM would only be needed temporarily. Once my old number is transferred onto it, the number originally associated with that SIM will be deactivated and replaced by mine. So I won't be receiving calls or messages intended for the previous owner. Requirements: - Previously USED, not brand new. - From a network other than Vodafone. - Actively used within the last few months and still active. - No credit needs to remain. If you have one that you no longer need and would otherwise throw away, I'd be very grateful. Thanks!

Request: Screws for door hinges (Kemptown BN2) Hi, I was wondering if anyone has any extra long wood screws (about 50+ mm), suitable for door hinges. They are usually sold in packs of 100 but I only need about 5 or so. I need to shim some of the hinges to fix a gap so the screws need to be slightly longer than the old 40 mm ones. Thanks in advance.

Request: Plastic bathroom shelf (Kemptown BN2) Hi, I was wondering if anyone has any spare parts from an IKEA Vesken bathroom shelf. I was given what I was told was a complete unit, but unfortunately it turned out that some parts were missing, so I can't use it as it is. If anyone has a damaged or incomplete Vesken they no longer need and would be willing to part with the legs or even the whole unit (complete or incomplete), I'd really appreciate it. Thank you!

Request: Under plates for flower pots (Kemptown BN2) Hi there, I'm helping an elderly relative. They're looking for some under plates to put under flower pots (indoors). Can be plastic or terracotta/ceramic but would prefer something that is made for that purpose rather than just using an old lid, as it doesn't look good. Doesn't have to look exactly the same as the screenshot. Thanks in advance.

Request: Small bathroom shelves (Kemptown BN2) Expired Hi, I could really use a small shelving unit in my bathroom. Plastic would be fine. The picture was found on Google, just to show what kind of size I have in mind. It doesn't have to look exactly the same. Wheels are not important. A small plastic corner unit would also work. Thanks in advance.

Request: Bag clips (Kemptown BN2) Received Hi, I was wondering if anyone has any spare bag sealing clips that they no longer need? Thanks in advance. I don't like the idea of buying multi packs when I'll only end up using one or two of them.

Request: Parcel banding (Kemptown BN2) Expired Hi, I'm looking for a piece of parcel strapping/banding (the flat band that is sometimes used around parcels). Ideally at least 50 cm in length. Please don't throw it away as I need some for a project. Thanks in advance.

Request: Strong thin cutting wire (Kemptown BN2) Received Hi, I’m trying to remove a bathroom mirror (approx. 50 × 50 cm) that’s been fixed to the wall with double-sided tape or glue. I’m looking for something thin but strong that can be fed behind the mirror and used to cut through the adhesive/double sided tape — for example: • Fishing line • Piano wire • Guitar string • Strong nylon line • Or anything similar Floss isn’t strong enough, and rigid tools with handles can’t reach far enough behind the middle of the mirror to be effective. A flexible cutting line or wire would be ideal. Happy to collect locally. Thanks in advance.
