Request: Dremel Accessories (Castle MK40) Does anyone have any of the interchangeable sanding/grinding tools for a Dremel tool, please? I have just bought one on Facebook Marketplace, but it didn't come with many accessories, and I can imagine that they could well be the sort of thing that someone might have just gathering dust in a shed or garage, in which case, a new and very appreciative home awaits them! Many thanks, Heather

Free: Piece of fine plastic mesh (Castle MK40) Withdrawn Could anyone fine a use for a piece of white plastic mesh, about a metre square? It looks and feels like white net curtain, and would be useful for anything that needs to be strained or filtered - wine making, perhaps, or straining keffir, if anyone does that sort of thing.

36d

Free: Battery operated votive candles (Castle MK40) Gifted I have 11 of these in need of a new home, if anyone could use them. There is a 12th one lurking somewhere, and if I ever find it, I will send it on to you!

36d

Request: One or two pieces of rigid polystyrene packaging (Castle MK40) Received I would really appreciate some (ideally) flat or moulded polystyrene packaging, if anyone has recently bought a TV or similar, and is about to take the packaging to the tip. Many thanks, Heather

88d

Free: Roll of gaffer tape (Castle MK40) Gifted I have no idea why I even have this, as I am not a roadie and I have never accompanied the Rolling Stones on tour, but it will spend the next 100 years in the loft if it doesn't find a new home, so I hope that someone can make use of it.

110d

Free: Single earrings (Castle MK40) Gifted These earrings have all lost their partner, but could still look nice as pendants, if any aspiring jewellery maker were to feel like adding chains and clasps.

123d

Request: Hand weights / dumbells (Castle MK40) Received Does anyone have a pair of hand weights that they no longer use, please? I would be very grateful as I really need to do some weight bearing exercise, and some small weights would be really helpful. Many thanks, Heather

126d

Free: Travel pillow (Castle MK40) Gifted Would anyone like to take this travel pillow on holiday with them? It has had very slight use, but is really as good as new.

145d

Free: Shires riding crop/stick (Castle MK40) Expired I'm afraid that my pony days are over, and this riding crop needs a new home. It is in excellent condition, if there are any horsey people who could give it a new lease of life.

152d

Free: Long handled secateurs (Castle MK40) Gifted Could anyone use these long handled secateurs? The paint on the handles has had a bit of a bashing over the years, but that doesn't affect their ability to prune out-of-reach roses. Overall length is 23".

152d

Request: Small / medium sized boxes (Castle MK40) Received Does anyone have any sturdy-ish small boxes in reasonably good condition, please? I have a few things to sell on eBay, and I need to be sure that I have suitable boxes before I start listing. Many thanks, Heather

152d

Request: Large and extra-large used Jiffy bags (Castle MK40) Expired Does anyone have any large used (but still usable) Jiffy bags, please? I want to sell a few items of clothing on Vinted, and I need to have suitable packaging before I start. Many thanks, Heather

153d

Free: Part can of spray adhesive (Castle MK40) Gifted Could anyone make use of this?

167d

Free: Two USB plugs (Castle MK40) Gifted Could anyone use these? I appear to have a surplus of charger plugs, and I would like them to be happy in a new home. Please say whether you would like one or both....there is no right answer!

167d

Free: Scratching post (Castle MK40) Gifted Cat scratching post with pompom, very little used, with lots of scratching left in it.

184d

Free: Cat (or small dog) sofa (Castle MK40) Gifted Would anyone like this sofa for their cat (or cat-sized dog)? It has been much lounged on, and there is a little bit of wear on the left hand side (you can just see it in the photo), and the cushion doesn't match, but I don't think your cat will mind, unless of course he or she is very particular about colour co-ordination!

184d

Free: Cobbler's shoe last (Castle MK40) Expired Would anyone like this vintage cobbler's last? It would make a good doorstop, or just an interesting thing to put on a shelf or in the garden.

209d

Free: Part can of Ford Moondust Silver spray paint (Castle MK40) Gifted I have no idea how much is still in the can, but there should be enough to touch up the odd scratch.

214d

Free: Tiles (Castle MK40) Gifted Could anyone use these tiles, left over from a project? This is the exact number of tiles on offer, and each measures 6" by 3".

240d

Free: Ceramic tiles (Castle MK40) Gifted Two lovely ceramic tiles, perfect for backing with cork and using as trivets. 29cm at the widest point.

244d

Free: R-Kive boxes (Castle MK40) Gifted 16 used R-Kive storage boxes, minus lids, but still very useful for storage or house moves.

263d

Free: Christmas garland (Castle MK40) Gifted Could anyone give a home to an artificial Christmas garland, about 12 feet long?

325d

Request: Wallpaper or lining paper (Castle MK40) Received Does anyone have a single roll (or part roll) of lining paper or flat (ie not embossed) wallpaper that they no longer need, please? The colour and design don't matter - it's the blank side that I want to use! Many thanks, Heather

326d

Free: Plastic resin sleeves (Castle MK40) Gifted 14 10cm plastic resin sleeves, which you use instead of a standard rawlplug, either if you are drilling into plasterboard with a gap behind it, or into concrete (eg a garage floor). The idea is that the sleeve fits into the hole that you have drilled, and you then fill it with resin (available from Screwfix and the like) and put a threaded rod into the sleeve. The resin squishes out of the mesh and hardens within minutes, giving you a really solid and weight-bearing fixing. There are lots of helpful videos on YouTube to show you how to use them.

335d

Request: Sturdy cardboard box (Castle MK40) Received Does anyone have a really sturdy cardboard box, no smaller than 60cm by 50cm by 40cm, please? I want to try to sell a small side table on eBay and it would probably make sense to offer postage, rather than collection only....I just need a suitable box! Many thanks, Heather

340d

Free: Kneepads (Castle MK40) Gifted Would anyone like these kneepads? There are a few scratches on the hard plastic piece, but that won't prevent them from protecting someone else's knees for years to come!

356d

Free: Cool mat for cats or small dogs (Castle MK40) Gifted Does anyone have a hot dog or a less-than-cool cat? This cool mat measures 50cm by 40cm, and needs someone to lie on it during the heatwave!

Free: Slate place mats and coasters (Castle MK40) Gifted Would anyone like these place mats and coasters, originally from The Pier? I have three place mats (measuring 8" square) and six coasters (4" diameter).

1y

Free: Activity feeder for cats (Castle MK40) Gifted Fill the central container with biscuits so that your cat has to fish them out of the compartments beneath.....perfect for guzzling cats!

1y

Free: Hank of rope (Castle MK40) Gifted Could anyone make use of this hank of rope?
