Request: RED DIESEL or Kerosine (Blackpool FY3) I have just purchased a diesel heater (for home use), but supplies available locally appear to be 4+ times the price applicable to large quantities. The property I am in (sort of) currently has no kitchen/bathroom/central heating/ceilings/internal doors or plaster on the walls - and it sometimes feels warmer outside than in. Being able to run the heater would provide the motivation of further me clearing the house for the workmen to proceed, but finances are EXTREMELY limited & it would be grately appreciated if you had any heater fuel you might not be planning to use. (I do feel a little embarrassed asking). THANKS FOR READING.

Free: 2 Leather Chairs (very comfortable) (Blackpool FY3) Expired These two cream leather / wood chairs are definitely the most comfortable I have ever relaxed in. PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: - * One current has a missing portion of the wood frame for the headrest. (I do believe I have it somewhere). It doesn’t stop the chair from being used. * They do take up quite a lot of space. * I would not be parting with these two treasured chairs except for the fact that I have moved into a property that doesn’t compliment their presence. I have owned these chairs for circa 30 years and still have the original receipt ((*somewhere)., *still unpacking) and they cost circa £1,600. Both nay fit into a hatchback (if the headrest is unscrewed off (easily done), but might just take 2 journeys if only 1 fits in.
