Request: Small / medium sized boxes (Castle MK40) 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

4h

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

4h

Free: Two USB plugs (Castle MK40) 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!

4h

Free: Travel pillow (Castle MK40) 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.

4h

Request: Large and extra-large used Jiffy bags (Castle MK40) 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

1d

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

17d

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!

17d

Free: Cobbler's shoe last (Castle MK40) Withdrawn Would anyone like this vintage cobbler's last?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.

42d

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.

47d

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".

73d

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

77d

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

96d

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

159d

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

159d

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.

168d

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

173d

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!

189d

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!

210d

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).

229d

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!

229d

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

259d

Request: Cabin bag (Castle MK40) Expired Does anyone have a Ryanair/EasyJet compliant cabin bag that they no longer need, please? The crucial dimensions are 55cm by 40cm by 20cm, but a slightly smaller case would be fine. Many thanks, Heather

261d

Free: 30cm slate tiles (Castle MK40) Gifted 17 rustic slate tiles, originally from Topps Tiles, many years ago. There is a slight variation in thickness, so perhaps suitable for paving a small outdoor area.

291d

Request: Small amount of liquid damp proof membrane (Castle MK40) Received Does anyone have a tiny bit of liquid damp proof membrane left over from a project and no longer needed, please? I really only need a very small amount and it doesn't make sense to buy an entire drum of it if someone has a couple of brushfulls that I can use up. Many thanks, Heather

292d

Request: Smoothing plane or replacement blade for a Stanley SB3 plane (Castle MK40) Expired This is a long shot, I know, but if anyone has a plane blade like the one in the picture (it's a Stanley SB3) lurking unwanted in a garage or shed, or inherited from a woodworking relative, I would be so grateful for it. They still make the plane, which of course comes with the blade, but you can't buy replacement blades for the plane that you already have. Failing that, if anyone has a smoothing plane with a lovely sharp blade that they no longer want, that would also be very gratefully received and pressed into service. With many thanks, Heather

310d

Free: Piece of plywood (Castle MK40) Gifted Before I take it to the tip, could anyone make use of a piece of plywood, 1cm thick, 42" by 55". One side has glue on it, but the other is fine. Perhaps someone could use it to make a pet hutch, or for something on an allotment.

351d

Free: Two screw-fitting light bulbs (Castle MK40) Gifted Could anyone use these bulbs? 23w in new money, which is the equivalent of 100w old money.

1y

Free: Water container for camping (Castle MK40) Expired Can anyone use this water container? It looks a bit squashed, but that's only because it hasn't got water in it - fill it up and it will be fine!

1y

Free: Landline phone handset (Castle MK40) Gifted I have finally made the bold step of ditching my landline, so could anyone use my old(ish) handset? I actually have two to give away, as BT were quite insistent that one just wouldn't be enough.

1y

Free: Pillows (Castle MK40) Expired Six pillows minus pillowcases......I suspect that they have been used, but they look ok, and would be fine for pets, camping, or occasional guests.
