Free: Pictures (Mickleover DE3) These pictures are rather “twee” but might be suitable for a young girl’s bedroom. My father framed them for me many, many years ago! They can be hung but don’t have the facility to stand up.

4h

Free: Swimming costume (Mickleover DE3) Not been worn for many years but pretty good condition. Debenhams, size 12 but I think it was quite a generous 12. There is a bra type fitting inside. Made in UK, you don’t see that very often!

4h

Free: Swimsuit (Mickleover DE3) Slix, I believe that Slix were produced in Derby at one time. Size 36, presumably that was the bust size. This was one of ny favourites because of the blouson style. It has been packed away in a draw for quite a time and there are some faint marks - no idea where they have come from. I washed it today and marks faded so they might eventually disappear. It has a bra type fitting attached inside.

4h

Request: Chair. Easy chair for living room. (Mickleover DE3) Withdrawn I don’t want to look for a new one as it may not be needed for very long.

16d

Free: Manhattan Freeview Recorder, for spares or repairs (Mickleover DE3) Gifted The model is a T2-R. I came home 4 days ago, after a few days away, and it wouldn’t work. I am not at all technically gifted! I tried a few things and then gave up.

17d

Free: Cardboard box full of shredded cardboard (Mickleover DE3) Withdrawn Size 27 x20 cms, 14.5 cms high This was apparently deemed necessary to pack a small strip light for a bathroom shaving point! It seems a shame to bin it, I thought maybe someone can find a use for it.

49d

Free: Slippers, white and blue. (Mickleover DE3) Withdrawn Both size 5/6. The soles are definitely not dirty although they are no longer white. They have been in the washing machine this morning, followed by 2 hours in the tumble dryer! I used to find them useful to take if I was going away.

55d

Free: Patio weed brush (Mickleover DE3) Gifted I’m now too old to wield this weeder! It’s a genuine Burton and Ball weeder and still got plenty of life in it, so I hope someone can make use of it.

58d

Free: 3 iPad cables + cover (Mickleover DE3) Gifted I have no idea which of the cables, if any, still work. The cover is for an iPad Air2 and it’s the best cover I have ever had, unfortunately I can’t remember who I bought it from. I’m not sure what it’s made of, at a guess a sort of mix between plastic and rubber. It is so soft and so flexible. I loved the flexibility.

76d

Free: Photograph frames (Mickleover DE3) Gifted A large number - too many to take a photo - of various sizes. I must have thought that they would be useful some day but now trying to stop hoarding!

100d

Free: T shirt (Mickleover DE3) Expired Anyone been to seaside resort of Hilton Head Island in South Carolina, on American east coast, or thinking of going or even just like T shirts? I have a grey one size medium which says on the front “Hilton Head Island South Carolina”. I’ll never be going again and I really don’t want to bin this T shirt, which is in excellent condition.

102d

Free: Salt and pepper set (Mickleover DE3) Gifted Quick small, about 3 inches high, and quite cute

130d

Free: Salt and pepper set (Mickleover DE3) Expired Quite small, about 3 inches tall, but quite cute. Never used. Someone brought it back from a holiday but I can’t remember where.

130d

Free: Grill pans (Mickleover DE3) Gifted Never used, a grill pan. Overall measurements 39 x 37 centimetres. NOT FOR RESALE.

134d

Free: 2 pictures (Mickleover DE3) Gifted The larger one was bought for me by my younger son when we were both a lot younger. He’s now in his fifties and doesn’t want it back! The other one was a birthday card. I love cats so had to frame it.

150d

Free: Timed Pet feeders (Mickleover DE3) Gifted I don’t know how these work or even if they work. (There is an instruction leaflet for one, presumably they all work in a similar way.) I was given them but never needed to use them and decided to pass them on.

159d

Free: Laundry basket (Mickleover DE3) Gifted Brown. This has not been used for at least 18 years, has sat on top of washing machine and I have “dumped” things in it. So it is marked but not dirty as I have scrubbed it thoroughly. And it’s still a laundry basket even though it is marked!

184d

Free: Mobile phone charger (Mickleover DE3) Expired Nothing much to say. It is what it is. I had a sort out and found I have one too many.

184d

Free: Armchair (Mickleover DE3) Expired Grey armchair, surplus to requirements. It is extremely comfortable but it could do with a scrub.

203d

Free: Pictures (Mickleover DE3) Expired Framed pics of cats/kittens. I have grown out of these and the son who bought them for me doesn’t want them back! The top left pic is no longer perfect but the frame might be useful.

203d

Free: Regatta ladies walking trousers (Mickleover DE3) Gifted Navy blue, size 16, inside leg 27 inches.

241d

Free: 3 Casio dual time watches. Not working? (Mickleover DE3) Gifted I don’t know whether they were discarded because they didn’t work or what. Someone might like to look at them. They had analogue and digital time plus a lot of extras. I still have one on my wrist, don’t like any others. Particularly useful when I was visiting family abroad as I could have two times showing at the same time.

292d

Request: 100ml "mug" (Mickleover DE3) Expired I had a small 100ml polythene container with a pouring lip. I used it a lot but it has disappeared. I have even wondered if I had a "senior moment" and put it in the bin! Whatever has happened to it I would be extremely grateful if anyone has something similar which they could gift to me. Thanks.

314d

Free: Cleansing milk (Mickleover DE3) Expired This is a gentle cleanser for dry skin. Most of a 200ml bottle left. I’ve realised that I never use it (too lazy?) but thought I would offer before disposing of it any other way

314d

Free: Cocoa (Mickleover DE3) Gifted About 3/4 of a 250gm tin left. It is WELL out of date, very well out, but I don’t see how cocoa can go out of date. I only used it for making chocolate or chocolate/coffee cakes but I have stopped baking!

314d

Free: Large storage jars. (Mickleover DE3) Gifted For some reason I can’t download the photo, without that I have a problem! One is just a largish jar, another is the type that has a 3.5 inch diameter cork which fits quite snugly. The remaining four have those tops which seal when you push the top on.

344d

Free: Books, very old (Mickleover DE3) Gifted I have ancient copies of Pollyanna (by Eleanor Porter) and Cranford (by Mrs Gaskell). They are both in a poor state (Pollyanna the worst), they are entitled to be as so old. Pollyanna was originally given to someone at Christmas 1927 but I know nothing about Cranford. I was about to throw them out but hesitated as both are classics of their time and there might be someone who has not read one or both of them. I will keep them for a bit longer, but not a lot longer, in case anyone wants them.

1y

Free: Books (Mickleover DE3) Gifted I am disposing of the following books. Watership Down. The Watsons (Jane Austen). Bridge on the River Kwai (VERY old, price was three shillings and six pence!). Unspeakable Acts (humorous?). Idi Amin, the further bulletins of. (a send up of Amin). The Chamber (John Grisham). I would prefer them to go together, I am trying to get rid of things I’ll not read again.

1y

Free: Crab apples (Mickleover DE3) Gifted I have hundreds, if not thousands of crab apples. If anyone would like to pick some, before the tree gets cut back, to make crab apple marmalade or whatever just get in touch with me. Several people have been but there are loads left! I have been told that one trio who came made a liqueur and the chap who came this morning is going to add them to his cider recipe!

1y

Free: A handy tool (Mickleover DE3) Gifted Handy for camping or any holiday. It is a corkscrew, a bottle opener and a small penknife. Size when folded 4.3 inches. If you don’t look as if you are over 18 years old please bring ID with you.
