Request: Manual alarm clock (The Camp AL1) I have one from a freegler but it stops sometimes. I have a deep dislike of batteries. I tried buying a new manual one but it failed to work. Can collect by bike locally

5h

Request: Silicone Sealant (The Camp AL1) Not sure of details but was told to use for gap under kitchen tiles. Tried to get several tubes from a recent freegle offer, but was too slow. Maybe the person who took them can spare some?! Can collect from outside when weather permits cycling within 3 miles or so

6d

Free: Old spice aftershave (The Camp AL1) Ancient but not empty, apparently usable ages after purchase. Prefer to deliver to you by bike if local

8d

Free: Metal screws (The Camp AL1) mostly wood screws. Willing to split and you can take what's useful to you if you have time to look through. May be able to bring to you by bike if local, weather permitting, but a freegler has taken middle sized ones now. A phone number may speed up contact.

16d

Request: Light bulbs (The Camp AL1) Withdrawn Ideally longlife eco bulbs but I was aghast to find that my collection of bulbs are all either dead or unable to fit standard bayonet socket. Willing to collect by bike and you can leave outside for me. Limited distance for cycling maybe 5 miles. Help, I could be in the dark soon

18d

Free: Small mirror-fronted shelves (The Camp AL1) No space. 20 inches long. Just needs thorough cleaning. Not perfect but usable. I'm in London Road St Albans. Prefer someone collects from outside by arrangement when driving past anyway. Couldn't carry it to you beyond a few dozen yards

21d

Free: Old ironing board (The Camp AL1) Not great condition, been gathering dust for decades, damaged in places but appears to be usable if you clean it up a bit more. The metal holder for the iron didn't come out in the pic. I have a piece of felt that belongs but torn so probably useless. Subsequently now edited to say I found elasticated black top cover, needs washing. Will dispose of unless taken. I'm in London road and can leave outside, it won't be stolen. Preference given to local people if more than one reply. Give mobile number to speed up the process if you want

21d

Free: Tatty wheeled bag (The Camp AL1) Withdrawn 3 zips including the one containing the handle but middle zip broken. You'd want to do thorough clean inside and outside. Otherwise I will bin it. Prefer to offer to someone travelling by bus or who drives along London road anyway, not worth fuel in car for special trip

22d

Free: Loads of plastic wallets (The Camp AL1) Gifted Transparent, A4 size, variable condition. Ones in photo not the best. Generally suitable for filing things in ring binders. Willing to split if more than one person interested. It asks how many I'm offering but too many to count. Not good enough for charity shops and not worth fuel to collect but I may be able to deliver locally

31d

Free: Wooden storage shelves (The Camp AL1) Withdrawn About 2 feet tall maybe. Been gathering dust and needs fuller cleaning. Functional rather than attractive. Just too much clutter otherwise would keep. Preference given to someone who drives along London road anyway rather than special journey. I can leave outside, not visible from road

44d

Free: Used radiator (The Camp AL1) Gifted Neighbours moved out and left it against my wall for ages. I hadn't realised it wasn't owned by new neighbours. I don't know whether it works. Recycling company refuses to collect as low value. Outside ready to collect

46d

Free: Carrier bags, dozens (The Camp AL1) Mostly average size, various supermarkets etc. (Had a mammoth sort out to remove any with holes after years of hoarding.) Won't be able to use that many. Can deliver by bike locally, weather permitting. Willing to split. There should be an option for "countless" under "how many are you giving away"

64d

Free: Thin plastic sleeves for CDs (The Camp AL1) Fair number, most in reasonable condition, willing to deliver locally by bike within St Albans when weather allows and health permitting. Phone number for texting would speed up arrangements

68d

Free: Rear wheel of bike (The Camp AL1) Expired Sorry I can't see size possibly 27in but you need to check if coming. Rusty and worn but probably usable as stopgap. Nobody responded to front wheels which I took as scrap. Maybe this is more useful to someone. I prefer that nobody drives here to look at it unless coming along London road anyway or you could get bus here but not if fares high as it may be wrong size etc. Give phone number if wanting quicker collection. I'm out part of the day most days. Can leave outside with sufficient notice

127d

Free: CD towers (The Camp AL1) Expired Apologies for poor photo. Perfectionists need not apply. One is about 5 ft and made of very pliable wood apparently with a solid base. Some of it is bent out of shape but maybe can be bent back in shape. Likewise the two made of metal with a wooden bit holding together but not well based on floor. All dusty. I don't like people driving specially to collect what they've not requested on freegle but I'm by the 602 bus stop in London road or you can tell me if you drive here anyway so no fuel wasted. Take one or more. Give phone number for quickest response after I check the site daily. Thanks for reading. Doug

131d

Free: Paper to write on (The Camp AL1) Expired Been hanging around years and I can't use it all. I don't want anyone driving here but you can get a bus to London road or in St Albans I can deliver, by bike, health permitting. It may not all be perfect but usable.

136d

Free: Music cassettes about 80 (The Camp AL1) Expired All years old and third hand if you take. Mostly prerecorded classical esp instrumentals, some home tapings. You can even select type you want. Reluctant to part with but never listen now. Free cassette holders thrown in if wanted, just need dusting. If you live within 3 miles I may be able to drop off by bike or you can get bus along London road by arrangement. Not keen on people making special trips by car. Give phone number for quicker arrangements please. I see the site once a day usually. Doug

136d

Request: Wind-up alarm clock (The Camp AL1) Expired I bought one but it didn't work. Another freegler gave me one but although it's fine for the time, the alarm quickly stopped working. I will collect by bike locally, weather permitting

141d

Free: Wind-up alarm clock (The Camp AL1) Expired I bought one but it stopped working altogether. A freegler kindly gave me one but the alarm soon stopped working although it's good as a clock. I will collect by bike within St Albans weather permitting

141d

Request: Wind-up clock (The Camp AL1) Received I prefer alarm clock but no response to earlier post. Can collect by bike locally. Phone number helps. I don't want batteries

147d

Free: Scrabble set (The Camp AL1) Gifted 100 pieces and board and 4 tile racks. Not perfect but need to rinse the tiles. Box isn't included as damaged. Also oddly I have 7 tiles from another set and they form a word! See picture. I can put in a carrier bag and bring to you by bike locally 3 miles weather permitting. Ideally give me a number to arrange quicker. Thanks. Doug

147d

Request: Bicycle bell (The Camp AL1) Expired The one I have won't attach to the handlebars now and it's hard to estimate size to ask for missing screw. Helps if you give a number to arrange collection in St Albans if you have one. Thanks Doug

153d

Free: Monopoly board game (The Camp AL1) Gifted Two boards. One folds up but neither is perfect after years of disuse. Looks like the contents are complete. I can deliver within 3 miles by bike if you want to arrange by text more quickly than otherwise. Need to declutter. BTW I am in London road but trying to get freegle volunteers to show this rather than the Camp which is nearby

154d

Free: 2 wooden tables: choose one (The Camp AL1) Expired The first has no legs so supply your own. The top is probably something other than wood, smooth and just needs cleaning quickly but not done as headed for recycling centre. The second has legs but is about 70 years old and could be covered or worked on to create coffee table or storage place or use in shed etc. I'm not happy with people driving specifically but if you pass London road we can arrange easier by text if you give me your number. Both could be recycled very soon if I find a driver as I have lots of scrap wood to go for recycling just now

157d

Free: Electric iron (The Camp AL1) Gifted I actually have 3 and never used in decades. They all warm up plugged in but one doesn't light up so maybe you should have the others. Not guaranteed safe so I will dispose of if no takers. Don't drive here, I will deliver locally if you give phone number

169d

Free: Draughts set (The Camp AL1) Gifted Complete, unused for decades. Can deliver locally within 3 miles by bike, weather permitting. Not too bad condition. (Arrange more quickly with your phone number?)

170d

Free: Bike front wheels 26in (The Camp AL1) Expired I have hoarded too many of these in case needed but taking too much space. Most from mountain bikes. Prefer that people don't drive here specially. On London road between St Albans and London Colney by a bus stop. Best to give a number to arrange viewing. Take one or several. Should be usable. No tyres, rim tapes or tubes offered but usually size 1.75 to 2in. Willing to wait till you are passing this way

171d

Free: Plastic wallets for ring binder maybe 100 (The Camp AL1) Expired Mostly reasonable but many are a bit creased but still usable. More than I'm likely to use. If you give phone number it may be quicker, as I only log in daily. I can deliver locally by bike 3 miles or so. (Not keen on any driving to come here specially). Take a few or more

187d

Request: Wind-up alarm clock (The Camp AL1) Expired Mine from a freegler has served reasonably well for a few years but less reliable now. Will cycle to collect weather permitting within about four miles around St Albans Easier if you give phone number. Thanks Doug

204d

Free: Freestanding electric 3-bar fire (The Camp AL1) Expired Not needed or used in about 30 years. Used to be OK but WARNING you probably need to replace the lead as it's badly frayed and could be dangerous. Dusty. About two foot square at front. Sorry I don't dare test it now, you should try outdoors. I'm on London road between St Albans and London Colney so if you drive this way I can wait till convenient or you could use bus stop 30 yards away. Prefer you don't drive far in case it's no good.
