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

4h

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

2d

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

3d

Free: Photograph frames (Mickleover DE3) 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!

3d

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.

20d

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.

21d

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.

29d

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!

54d

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

54d

Free: T shirt (Mickleover DE3) 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.

70d

Free: Armchair (Mickleover DE3) Withdrawn Grey armchair, surplus to requirements.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

72d

Free: Pictures (Mickleover DE3) Withdrawn Framed pics of cats/kittens.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.

72d

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

110d

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.

162d

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.

183d

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

183d

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!

183d

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.

214d

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.

246d

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.

246d

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!

246d

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.

270d

Free: walking trousers (Mickleover DE3) Gifted Size 16S. I don't know what the S means, normally short but these are not short! I would describe the colour as a sort of khaki green. They have one small repair (caught on something the first time I wore them!) but not significant - in fact as I am now I can't find it!

290d

Free: CDs (Mickleover DE3) Gifted I have 2 ReWritable Sony compact discs, never been used. Also 10 non-rewritable Tesco discs. I will not be wanting them - does anyone in Freegle land?

290d

Free: Pet carrier (Mickleover DE3) Gifted Sandy colour, Pet Voyager 100 if that means anything to anyone.

293d

Free: Lens filters for instant ear thermometer (Mickleover DE3) Expired A poor photo I’m afraid. I don’t want to bin these if anyone can use them.

293d

Free: Clothes pegs (Mickleover DE3) Gifted Quite a lot, not the old dolly pegs but the spring ones, wooden and plastic ones.

294d

Free: Travel Wallets (Mickleover DE3) Gifted Both black, one has AATKings on it (Australian travel co.), the other has Titan Hitours. I'm sure you all know what they are for! Places for passport, tickets, money - what ever you like. I would say one is leather and the other some sort of strong fabric.

297d

Free: Moneybelt (Mickleover DE3) Gifted Beige/fawn colour. This is the sort of belt that goes under shirt etc. so hidden from sight - quite slim, not bulky. There are two zip pockets. A label indicates it was bought at Blacks, I can't remember!

297d

Free: Gents umbrellas (Mickleover DE3) Gifted Both black and both, when folded, are 17” long. One has a small hole but I don’t think much rain would get through!
