Free: Davison school jumper size 36in/91cm ***needs repair*** (Shoreham-by-Sea BN43) 6h - Most of the jumper is in very good condition BUT there are holes that need repairing (see photos): - both elbows (brand new elbow patches provided if you'd like them) - some small holes on the front which would need darning/sewing up I had intended to do this while my daughter was still at school but it stayed on the mending pile for so long that she's now left...

Free: Egg racks for fridge door or craft? (Shoreham-by-Sea BN43) 8h - Never used, came with fridge. Maybe someone has another idea for how they could be used?

Free: Cream jacket, M&S size 12 (needs dry cleaning) (Shoreham-by-Sea BN43) 8h - Material: thick brushed cotton, fully-lined. Ideal for Spring! Lovely jacket in very good condition but hasn't been worn for a few years and needs to be dry cleaned (it will come up good as new!). I'd love it to find a new lease of life with someone else.

Free: Empty CD cases (Shoreham-by-Sea BN43) Gifted 21d - A box of empty CD cases Free: Soft toy (lamb) made from kit (Shoreham-by-Sea BN43) Gifted 38d - I made this from a kit many years ago and as you can see I didn't assemble it very well (especially attaching the head - see close up picture), so it doesn't really resemble a lamb! It wouldn't be difficult to make it better, but I no longer have the time or the inclination, so I'd love to pass it on to someone who does, and maybe it could bring pleasure to someone young or old.

Free: Old keys (Shoreham-by-Sea BN43) Gifted 39d - Assorted redundant keys! Can anyone use them for arty/crafty purposes? If not I'll recycle them.

Free: Ice-maker for freezer (new/unused) (Shoreham-by-Sea BN43) Gifted 41d - Two ice cube trays with ice cube storage underneath. Twist the knob and the ice cubes in the tray empty into the container below. Excellent if you use lots of ice and have room in your freezer. Dimensions: 23.9cm long x 13cm high x 15.8cm wide. This came with our freezer (Hi Sense, but would probably fit other brands) and has never been used. It's a great idea, but we rarely use ice and prefer to have the extra space for food.

Free: Non-alcoholic Mojito (unopened, past "best before" date) (Shoreham-by-Sea BN43) Withdrawn 88d - 75cl unopened bottle of non-alcoholic Mojito cocktail. **Best before 10th October 2022** Was kept in cupboard in clean, smoke-free and pet-free home.

Free: Box of clean glass jars (Shoreham-by-Sea BN43) Gifted 89d - Over 40 clean glass jars of varying sizes

Free: Boxes for moving (Shoreham-by-Sea BN43) Gifted 113d - Loads of boxes! Request: Wrist, knee and elbow protectors for skater (Shoreham-by-Sea BN43) Expired 114d - My 16 year old son would like some wrist, knee and elbow protectors for use when rollerskating and skateboarding. If anyone has any that are no longer being used we'd love to give them a new lease of life. I can collect anywhere from Brighton to Worthing (including Steyning). Thank you. Free: Artemisia deciduous perennial shrub (Shoreham-by-Sea BN43) Gifted 181d - I love the foliage, but the plant grew a lot bigger than the label indicated and we don't have the space for it. I'm happy to dig it up or for the recipient to do so. (If interested please also see other post offering Salix/willow)

Free: Salix (willow) shrub/sapling (Shoreham-by-Sea BN43) Gifted 184d - Not a great photo I'm afraid! It's 2-3 years old and healthy, but hasn't been pruned into shape, so is currently spreading more horizontally than vertically. We're clearing the front garden prior to having building work done, so I would love to rehome this plant. I'm happy to dig it up if I know when it will be collected, or the recipient can do do so at any time. (If interested, also see post offering Artemisia shrub.)

Request: Edexcel A level textbooks: Biology, Maths, Further Maths (Shoreham-by-Sea BN43) Expired 215d - My 6th former needs the textbooks for these subjects, and I'm reeling at the number of books and the cost of them! Does anyone have current versions of any of these that they no longer need? It would also be helpful if anyone can signpost me to anywhere I could buy them second hand. Many thanks. Request: Oxygenating pond weed/plants (Shoreham-by-Sea BN43) Received 235d - I'm creating a mini pond and would love some plants that will oxygenate the water. Thank you Request: Old sink / container to make mini pond (Shoreham-by-Sea BN43) Expired 239d - Hi. I'd love an old sink or other suitable container to make a mini pond in our garden. I'm hoping to attract some frogs/more wildlife! I can collect anywhere from Worthing to Brighton. Many thanks Request: Sink / container to make mini pond (Shoreham-by-Sea BN43) Expired 244d - Hi. I'd love an old sink or other suitable container to make a mini pond in our garden. I'm hoping to attract some frogs/more wildlife! I can collect anywhere from Worthing to Brighton. Many thanks Request: Kombucha scoby (Shoreham-by-Sea BN43) Received 363d - Unfortunately I neglected my kombucha scoby and it's died...does anyone have a spare I could have to get started again? Thank you. Free: Wellington boots size 38 (adult 5 1/2) (Shoreham-by-Sea BN43) Gifted 1y - 1 pair of size 38 (adult 5 and a half) wellies. Condition: Inside: clean with no holes; Outside: will clean up quickly with a wipe over; note small split in outer rubber on one side of each foot (could be repaired eg with silicone or flexible glue???). Split doesn't go through the inner lining but if standing with split covered in water some will likely seep through. I haven't actually had any problems with this though. Still perfectly usable, but surplus to requirements as I also have another pair and only 2 feet 😄 Request: Bag of gravel or small stone chippings for planter (Shoreham-by-Sea BN43) Expired 1y - I need the equivalent of about 18 litres volume of gravel or small stone chippings to line the base of a large planter. It doesn't need to look pretty, so thought I'd check if anyone has any surplus (eg if getting rid of a gravel drive) before I look to buy some. Request: EMPTY "Method" floor cleaner bottle (or similar) (Shoreham-by-Sea BN43) Received 1y - I inadvertently recycled the bottle I'd saved to make new floor cleaner in, so if anyone has an empty (or soon-to-be empty) bottle I'd love to have it. A similar squeezy/squirty bottle (not a spray) would be a good alternative. Many thanks. Free: English Heritage magazines (including kids supplement) (Shoreham-by-Sea BN43) Gifted 1y - 1-2 years worth (2020-2022). I wondered if they might be useful for primary school teachers, after-school clubs, nurseries or families (for pictures +/- puzzles +/- info related to English Heritage sites). Free: Electronic chess computer (Shoreham-by-Sea BN43) Gifted 1y - Old but was working when last used! Requires batteries, and some of the pieces need their magnets sticking back on.

Free: Bicycle hand pump (final update!) (Shoreham-by-Sea BN43) Gifted 1y - Edited: only ONE bicycle pump remaining (the black one in the photo) - this has not yet been promised. This pump will require an adapter attachment that connects it to the tyre valve. In the attached picture of an eBay item (NOT included in this offer), the flexible red tube is the adapter, so it's possible to buy a replacement if you don't already have one.

Free: Wallflowers (Shoreham-by-Sea BN43) Gifted 1y - Some thriving wallflowers (easy-care perennials) that we no longer have space for. Not currently in flower, but if I remember correctly they're in the yellow/orange/brown/red colour range. Not sure exactly how many plants there are (max 5). Update: due to a "no-show" these are still available. I've dug them up, cut them back & have them outdoors in water. Request: Cassette player (Shoreham-by-Sea BN43) Received 1y - Our teen's revising for GCSE mocks and we've found some French conversation tapes which would help them practise their listening...but we no longer have a cassette player. Does anyone have one that's surplus to requirements? Thank you. Free: Clean glass jars with lids (Shoreham-by-Sea BN43) Gifted 1y - Varying sizes

Request: Sturdy boxes for packing books (Shoreham-by-Sea BN43) Expired 1y - We need to pack up most of our books prior to some building work & need lots of sturdy boxes that we'll still be able to lift when full of books. Many thanks if you have any to spare. Request: Roller skates (Shoreham-by-Sea BN43) Expired 1y - My teenager is keen to try roller skating (not rollerblades) and I wondered if anyone had a pair that are no longer being used so we can see if it's more than just a passing phase. To fit adult shoe size 6 - 7. Many thanks. Free: 2 large bags of packing material suitable for house moving (Shoreham-by-Sea BN43) Gifted 1y - Includes bubble wrap, the "plastic wool" insulation used in Hello Fresh meal boxes, and padded envelopes.
