Request: Over-bed table (March PE15) Received Having suddenly found myself bed-bound with no notice, I’m trying to organise my space so I can eat, use my laptop etc from my bed for the foreseeable future. So if anyone has a table similar to the photo, that is gathering dust in the garage or spare room, I could really make good use of it. I will bribe a friend to collect it for me if it’s not too far away... I find pizza usually works! Here’s hoping!

Request: Large gravel delivery type bags (March PE15) Received I’m looking for a couple of the big 1 ton delivery bags that gravel and aggregates usually come in. I can collect most times so if anyone can help I’d be much appreciated.

Request: Honesty Lunaria plant stems (March PE15) Received Does anyone have honesty lunaria growing in their garden? That’s the one that produces round flat translucent seed pods which are often in dried flower arrangements. I’d really appreciate some stems if you’re able to spare any, it’s for an art project. I can collect any time, and happy to bring my secateurs. Thank you for reading.

Request: Old pizza delivery bag (March PE15) Expired This won’t be used for food, so condition isn’t too important as long as the zip or Velcro flap works. Minimum 16” pizza sized. If anyone has one gathering dust from a previous delivery job, I could give it a very useful second life, thanks. I’ve been asked to update this post for the conspiracy theorists that have complained, with their suspicions that I want this bag for something illegal (?) but if it stops people sending complaints about this post, then you should know it’s going to be used to transport framed artworks to galleries, so I can hang it on the back of my wheelchair. So calm down, and next time try asking the poster before you send in complaints.

Request: Electric can opener (March PE15) Expired After wrist and shoulder surgery I’m struggling to use a can opener. I bought a small handheld battery operated one but even that is a struggle. If anyone has an unwanted plug-in can opener (the type that either sits on the worktop or screws to the wall), I’d really appreciate it. I can collect almost any time. Thank you.

Free: XL collection of Empire film magazines + extras (March PE15) Gifted Huge collection of Empire film magazines, going right back to the 1980s, also some Empire released soundtrack and trailer dvds and cds plus a couple of VHSs for good measure! Hundreds of magazines. This would be a great reference collection for a film buff or a film studies student. Or someone who has a massive crush on film stars from the 1980s onwards! I was gifted them for an art project but they weren’t suitable, so passing them on. It’s far too heavy a box to lift so collector would need to bring a decent quantity of strong bags to split the collection up to lift them.

Free: XL Collection Of Travel Guides (March PE15) Gifted Over 100 worldwide travel guides - Lonely Planet, Rough Guides, AA guides etc. To be taken all together. They are boxed up ready to go. This is a collection amassed by my neighbours who were until recently very well-travelled indeed! Collection only from March.

Request: Old newspapers for craft project (March PE15) Expired Does anyone have any really old newspapers? I’m after those sort that leave a horrid black newsprint on your fingers, so probably 20 years old or older, before they found a solution to that problem! Condition doesn’t matter, as long as they are the type that ink comes off on your hands! I can collect whenever suits you. Thank you and fingers crossed!

Free: Dresser (March PE15) Gifted Dark wood vintage dresser - the top section comes off. Width 106cm, height 180cm at its highest point at the top, depth 48cm I have managed to fit both bits into the back of a Qashqai together when separated, to give you an idea! Collection only from March

Free: Tallboy (West Town) Gifted This is a dark wood tallboy with two cupboards and two drawers. It’s an upcycle project as it has quite a few scratches as seen on the photo. Nothing that can’t be sorted with a coat of varnish or a chalk paint makeover. It’s an old sturdy piece of furniture and would be ideal for storing all sorts of stuff. It’s currently in storage in Peterborough (I don’t live there any more) so I’d have to arrange to go over there and meet you for collection - for this reason, please only say you want it if you’re 100% able to commit to collect, as I don’t want to make a 40mile round trip and sit in the car only for a no-show! You will need a van, trailer or a car that is a bit bigger than a Qashqai, it’s about 1m15 wide by about 1m 30tall from memory. I’m free most of the time with a few exceptions.

Request: Pole segment for bird feeding station (March PE15) Expired Does anyone have any of the pole segments for the type of bird feeder in the photo? I think I originally bought mine from B&M but they seem to be quite common. I’ve lost one of mine in a house move so it’s not tall enough now! If you can help please let me know, I’d be very grateful, thanks! I can collect from anywhere round March or surrounding villages. Thank you.

Request: Offcut of insulation board (March PE15) Received Does anyone have any small offcuts of roof insulation panels (Celotex or similar type) I could have please? I’m only looking for something approximately 14” x 22” (or a bit larger and I can cut to size) I can collect whenever it suitable to you. Thank you.
