Request: Staple Gun for wood / upholstery (Chalford Hill. GL6.) Hi All, I have a couple of projects that need a staple gun, and of course, the one I bought last year has decided to go splat !!! If anyone has one that is sat at the back of a cupboard / shed that hasn't been used for a while and you'd be happy to give it a good home, I'll happily pop round and take it off your hands. Thanks in advance and all the best.

Request: Medium sized builders bag (Chalford Hill. GL6.) Hi All, sorry its a bit short notice but I'm looking for a medium sized builders bag that I can pick up before Wednesday for a tip run of garden waste on Thursday ; I'd forgotten I'd loaned mine to my brother who's currently on holiday and won't be back in time !! Old age comes with it's own challenges eh ? I'm in Chalford and can pick up pretty much any time that's suitable for you. Thanks in advance.

Request: Freesat or free view box (Chalford Hill. GL6.) Received Hi all, before my Wife starts throwing silly money at Sky to get a Tv connection in our bedroom I’d like to explore the option of getting a Freeview or Freesat box and was hoping someone might have a working spare one for me to have a play with. Can collect at a time suitable for you. Thanks.

Request: Ink cartridges Canon MX490 (Chalford Hill. GL6.) Expired Would anyone have a couple of compatible ink cartridges for a Canon MX490 printer, or similar, please. The reason for the ask is that I've recently retired and have realised that I need to get a little part time job for a few years to keep me ticking over mentally and financially (and for the sake of marital harmony), so I need to print out some C.V. 's to randomly distribute to local companies so of course, sod's law has struck and the ink in my printer has either dried up or I've forgotten to renew them due to lack of use over the last 5 years - I suspect the latter ; did I mention I was retired ? Any help with the cartridges would be gratefully recieved, as would ideas for ongoing employment.

Request: Shelf brackets 190mm (Chalford Hill. GL6.) Expired Hi All, I recently got given some 190mm wide shelves, thinking that I had some brackets in my shed to put them up in the summerhouse ; sadly I was wrong and am rather hoping that someone has 4 brackets lurking in a cupboard that they no longer need / use. I'm in Chalford but can collect from pretty much anywhere locally. Thanks and all the best

Request: manual paint sprayer (Chalford Hill. GL6.) Expired Maybe a long shot but here goes. I’m hoping someone has either a manual or battery powered paint sprayer that’s no longer used. Reason being that I’m painting the inside of my summerhouse white and doing it manually is a pain - literally !!

Free: Tomato plants ; unusual varieties (Chalford Hill. GL6.) Gifted Giving away 3 different varieties of Tomato plants as I planted the seeds up expecting at least a 3rd to fail and they all germinated so I have surplus. I have 4 x Tim’s taste of paradise, 2 x Michael Pollan and 4 x Indigo pear drop ; look the varieties up on the net. I’m told all of them are quite prolific. let me know what you’d like. Collection only from Chalford please.

Request: 30w 240v Florescent tube (Chalford Hill. GL6.) Expired I'm hoping someone has a spare florescent 284mm tube that will fit my shaving light as mine seems to have gone and the LED replacement that I've ordered doesn't work in the lighting unit and I'd like to see if it's the tube or the unit that's broken before I order a new shaving light. Thanks.

Free: Sedum plant. Pretty pink flowers (Chalford Hill. GL6.) Gifted Hi All, Just realised that I have a self seeded Sedum in my raised bed that I really don’t want there !! It flowers for quite a long time with the pink flowers coming out on spikes, is very hardy and is a good infill plant in a border. If you’d like it you’ll have to bring a hand fork and trowel to dig it out along with something to carry it away. Collection only from Chalford please.

Request: Nut cracker (Chalford Hill. GL6.) Expired Hi, has anyone got a redundant nutcracker that they no longer use that I could put to use please ? Reason I ask is that I got rid of my late Mum's as I didn't think I'd need it, then moved into a property with a huge hazel hedge - now have lots of nuts and nothing but a hammer to solve the problem !! Can collect pretty much any time after 2pm most weekdays.

Request: Nintendo Wii console (Chalford Hill. GL6.) Expired I'm hoping that someone has a Nintendo Wii console that is no longer used that I could put to use. I've bought a refurbed Wii Fit for my Wife as she thinks that will be a good way for her to keep mobile and keep the weight off too !! Sadly, being a techno numpty, I didn't realise that other stuff is needed to make it work !! Can collect anytime after 2pm most weekdays and I'm not doing much this weekend so can collect any time that's ok for you. Thanks in advance.

Free: 3 x tempered glass sheets (Chalford Hill. GL6.) Expired I have 3 tempered glass sheets measuring 85 x 61 cm x 1.5mm (?) on offer. Got these to cut to size to replace some broken panels on my greenhouse - only to find out that cutting tempered glass is a bit more complicated than cutting normal greenhouse glass !! Hopefully someone can use them for their greenhouse or to make a cold frame. Collect from Chalford Hill please.

Request: Go System blow torch head (Chalford Hill. GL6.) Expired I'm hoping someone has an old Go System blow torch head that they no longer have use for - I will shortly be doing some flashing on my lean to's roof and whilst I have a full canister of fuel, I cannot find the blow torch head - I suspect I loaned it to someone but it was a very long time ago !! I could buy one but frankly paying £25 for something I'll probably only use once in a blue moon doesn't seem sensible. Here's hoping - I can collect promptly anywhere within a 10 / 15 mile radius of home in Chalford. Thanks

Request: Wheeled Medium Large Suitcase (Chalford Hill. GL6.) Expired Hi All, having given away our large Samsonite suitcase a couple of years ago as we didn't think we'd need it again we find ourselves a suitcase (or 2) short for an unexpected upcoming trip to France, so we are hoping that someone out there has a used but useable suitcase (preferably with wheels) that we could put in an ask for. I can collect anytime after 2pm most weekdays and anytime on the weekend. Thanks in advance.. Hugh

Request: Garden hose attachment Trigger type (Chalford Hill. GL6.) Expired Would anyone have an old trigger type attachment for a garden hose lurking in a drawer possibly ? Reason I ask is that mine, having been brought out of hibernation a couple of days ago, seems to have disintegrated internally !! I got a bit of a soaking when I turned the tap on to test it !! Can collect pretty much anytime over the bank holiday weekend. Thanks.
