Request: White mesh/net fabric (Woodley RG5) I want to repair the fly screen on a tent where it has split from the zip and I need a small quantity of white mesh fabric - not too light weight though. Maybe from an old net curtain/petticoat/tu-tu/veil/fancy dress etc. or even another fly screen. I need 2 pieces which are about 61cm x 5cm (2' x 2") I am in Woodley and can cycle to collect from the surrounding towns and villages at most times, Thanks, Chris

Free: Clothes airer - repaired but temperamental (Woodley RG5) Gifted I have a clothes airer that I have repaired but it can be a little tricky to collapse if anyone would like to make use of it. It is in Woodley and can be collected at most times by arrangement. If you give me an approximate half hour time-slot I'll give you the address. Thanks, Chris

Free: Swingball (Woodley RG5) Gifted I have a swingball in need of a new owner. The tennis ball has long since rotted away but the mini football variant is still fully functioning. The two plastic racquets are also included. It is in Woodley and can be collected at most times by arrangement. If you give me an approximate half hour time-slot I'll give you the address. Thanks, Chris

Request: 1 or 2 man tent for a festival (Woodley RG5) Withdrawn My son is volunteering at a festival and needs a tent to sleep in for a few days. Does anyone have one left over from a festival that is preferably light and quick to put up? I am in Woodley and can collect from the surrounding towns and villages. Thanks, Chris

Request: Nappy rash cream with zinc oxide (Woodley RG5) Expired Does any one have any left over nappy rash cream that contains zinc oxide (e.g. Sudocrem)? There doesn't have to be much left I have read that it is supposed to be good as a heat sink compound for computer CPUs. (Note I am not after proper heat sink compound as I already have some. I find it only lasts a year or so and I'm hoping nappy cream lasts longer). I am in Woodley and can cycle over to collect from the surrounding areas at most times to suit you and I'm also happy to collect if left outside. Thanks, Chris

Request: Foot pump for Schrader valves - preferably broken (Woodley RG5) Received I have an electric tyre pump that still works but the pipe has rotted and needs replacing. If anyone has an old broken pump (foot or electric) with a Schrader valve on where the tube is still in good condition I would love to attempt to make mine usable again. I am in Woodley and can cycle to collect from about a 10 mile radius. Thanks, Chris

Request: Jug for hand blender (Woodley RG5) Received I have a hand blender but the tall jug it was used with cracked. If anybody has a spare jug because their blender broke I'd be delighted to make use of it as the blender makes a right mess when used in a normal jug or bowl. It needs to be around 8-10cm in diameter and quite tall. I am in Woodley and can cycle over to collect daytime or evenings locally or from the surrounding towns. Thanks

Free: Vintage skis + poles for display or to make a sledge (Woodley RG5) Gifted Vintage skis + poles for display or to make a sledge I acquired these ancient skis a couple of years ago for a short term experiment (now completed) and thought to cannibalise them afterwards to make a 2nd sledge but I’ve now given up on that project. I am offering them up to any ski enthusiast who would like to put them on the wall or anyone who would like to make a wicked sledge with them (I’ve got one already that I made from old skis and it really is excellent to use them as the runners) They are 180cm long with very old (and probably unsafe) bindings which are easily removed along with 125cm ski poles. Available from Woodley (RG5) daytime or evening by arrangement or can be left outside. Let me know very soon if you are interested and I will keep them for you otherwise I’m afraid it is the tip that they are destined for.

Request: DDR3 SODIMM Laptop memory 4GB (Woodley RG5) Received Hello, I've just acquired an old laptop which is running Windows 7 Pro 64bit on and it only has 4GB of RAM in it. For the things I plan to do with it, it would be much better with 8GB. Before I buy some, I wondered if anyone had any going spare. I need DDR3 204pin SODIMM PC3-10600 2Rx8 - a matching pair of 4GB is recommended but I'm willing to try just adding a single 4GB to the one inside if you only have the one. I am in Woodley and can cycle to most neighbouring towns to collect at almost any time suitable to you (or collect from outside if you wish) Thanks, Chris

Request: Wall clock (Woodley RG5) Expired I've seen people offering wall clocks before but ignored them. Now my son has said he would like one on his wall at university to help with time management (despite having a watch, phone and laptop all with clocks!) It is a bit last minute, but if someone has one that we can pick up today or early tomorrow before we visit him that would be great. I am in Woodley and available to collect at most times Thanks
