Free: Laundry basket (Mickleover DE3) 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!

7d

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.

7d

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.

23d

Free: Armchair (Mickleover DE3) Withdrawn Grey armchair, surplus to requirements.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

26d

Free: Pictures (Mickleover DE3) 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.

26d

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

64d

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.

115d

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.

137d

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

137d

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 It is WELL out of date, very well out, but I don’t see how cocoa can go out of date.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!

137d

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.

168d

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.

200d

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.

200d

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!

200d

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.

223d

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!

244d

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?

244d

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

246d

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.

246d

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

248d

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.

251d

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!

251d

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!

258d

Request: Clock (Mickleover DE3) Expired My Carriage Style Quartz Clock has recently given up on me. (It did belong to my Mum so I can’t really complain!) I really do miss it, it’s only about 4” high and I would love to have a similar clock if anyone has one that they no longer use.

267d

Free: Cat activity centre (Mickleover DE3) Gifted I was gifted this a week or so ago but my cat won’t go near it, prefers her scratching post that is on its last legs! Apart from scratching posts there is a ladder, platforms and all sorts of other things. I didn’t put it together (no instructions) but you could have fun trying to get the many pieces assembled! Don’t think you could carry it, it’s quite heavy, you’d need transport to fetch it (well I would but I’m not very fit). Anyone interested?

284d

Free: Door bell (Mickleover DE3) Gifted Tecknet door bell model WA658, white, as new. This bell works fine but it started ringing when no-one was at the door. My son says the most likely problem was that someone nearby had the same model of bell, which would have been on the same frequency. I know nothing! But I believed him! So I’ve got another new bell and offering the Tecknet to anyone who wants to give it a go!

292d

Request: Cat scratcher post (Mickleover DE3) Received My cat has wrecked all of the furniture and now, after ignoring it for years, has just about wrecked the scratching post! If anyone has one going spare I would be extremely grateful.

298d

Free: R R tie (Mickleover DE3) Gifted I have a blue Rolls-Royce tie embroidered with the logo plus “25”.inside a circle. I don’t know whether they still give these ties which denote 25 years service but there may be someone who has served 25 years but didn’t get a tie, but would like one

299d

Free: CD rewritable (Mickleover DE3) Expired I just have one rewritable Sony CD-R. It seems a shame to bin it as someone might like to have it.

Free: Tray cloths (Mickleover DE3) Gifted Does anyone still use these when people visit for a cup of tea or what have you? I have four. I don’t think they have ever been used, certainly not from the look of them. Three are rectangular, one is oval, and they are all quite pretty. They are all embroidered, I would say machine embroidered.
