Free: Empty 35mm slide cases (Telford and Wrekin TF7) I've been sorting through family 35mm colour slides and have these cases left over. Are they any use to anyone as little containers before I bin them. They have various sorts of lids. Thanks for looking ColinMud

Free: Component case (Telford and Wrekin TF7) Gifted I'm not sure what this contained originally. It's a plastic case with foam interior to hold components(?) safely. Foam could easily be cut or replaced. Might this be useful to somebody, or shall I bin it? Thanks for looking. ColinMud

Free: 12volt compressor (Telford and Wrekin TF7) Gifted I'm posting this again, just in case! Otherwise I'll recycle it It's old, but I've just tested it on my car tyre and it does work. Downside is that it's rated up to 250psi so the scale is very cramped and not easy to read accurately. It has a flashing orange light which also works. Someone posted a request for a compressor recently. Perhaps this might suit them, or anyone else? Thanks for looking, ColinMud

Free: rolls of grey bubblewrap (Telford and Wrekin TF7) Gifted This bubblewrap came with a freezer from Currys. It's clean and just has a few little tears from when the parcel tape was removed. Is this of any use to someone? Thanks for looking, ColinMud

Free: Ten DVD cases (Telford and Wrekin TF7) Withdrawn Remember when Maplin closed down? Ooh, the bargains! I bought two packs of these Slimline Black Double DVD Cases.....and they remain unused to this day!! I'd be pleased if anyone can use any of them. If not they'll be heading for recycling or the tip. Thanks for looking, ColinMud

The mint one is labelled "Jolly's 4 ply 100% Acrylic". The green one is labelled " Galaxy 4 ply acrylic". The other two are not labelled. I hope they might be of use to someone. ColinMud

Free: Small battery powered keyboard (Telford and Wrekin TF7) Withdrawn This is old but unused. Not a great sound but might entertain (or be annoying!) I've put 4 AA batteries in, and there's a socket for a 6v power supply but I don't have the correct adaptor. There are also sockets for headphones and microphone. Drop me an email if you're willing to risk it!!

Free: Extractor Fan Grill (Telford and Wrekin TF7) Expired I fitted a new extractor fan recently, but didn't need the grill which came with it. It's 190mm square and the distance between the screw holes is 156mm. The louvres are fixed. Can anyone make use of it or do I have to bin it? Thanks for looking, ColinMud

Free: Hose reel (Telford and Wrekin TF7) Gifted The hose that was on this reel had become kinked in several places. The reel is not new, but may do someone a good turn if you have a hose needing to be tidied up. Can be fixed to a wall. Thanks for looking, ColinMud

Free: Slide Projector (Telford and Wrekin TF7) Gifted Boots Automatic Slide Projector. The box is tatty but the projector is in good working condition, and the lightbulb is working. It has a wired remote control. I'm sorry I don't have any slide magazines with it. I guess this is outdated technology but I'd be happy to pass it on to anyone who can make use of it, before I dispose of it. Thanks for looking, ColinMud

Request: android mobile phone usb charging lead (Telford and Wrekin TF7) Received I lost one of my leads and am looking for a spare. Before I splash out on a new one I thought I'd see if anyone has one that they don't need. I think it's a Type C lead. The part that plugs into the phone is about 7.5mm side to side. Happy to collect. Thank you very much. ColinMud

Free: Quantity of cable clips - see picture (Telford and Wrekin TF7) Gifted I'm posting this again as the person I promised it to didn't respond. Rescued from an elderly relative's house. More than I'll ever need. Any use to anyone. If you reply would you say 'All' or 'Some' so I know if I can offer to more than one person. Thanks for looking, ColinMud

Free: Two large plastic garden chairs (Telford and Wrekin TF7) Gifted Two chairs as in the pictures. They have become grubby being left outside for some time. We've pressure washed them, which has improved them a little and I have done a 'test scrub' on a small part of one which has cleared much of the surface, but it would be a long job. Perhaps they'd be better painted? Are they of any interest to anyone? I will wait until midday tomorrow (Tuesday) before replying to posts. Thanks for looking. ColinMud

Free: Clock kit! (Telford and Wrekin TF7) Gifted If you have time, skill and patience this might be for you. This book is a little larger than A4 size, and has 40 pages of instructions and detailed pieces printed on card t be cut out. Not for the faint hearted, but I thought I'd offer it before recycling. Drop me an email if you're feeling fascinated! ColinMud

Free: Two concrete Gravel Boards (Telford and Wrekin TF7) Gifted Two concrete gravel boards, six foot by one foot I bought these from Tafs several months ago for some fence repairs, but they're too heavy for me to manage! I've opted for wooden boards, so the concrete ones are free to collect. They are heavy!! Drop me a message if you're interested ColinMud in Madeley

Free: Old style wooden drawing board (Telford and Wrekin TF7) Expired I think this board belonged to my father when he was a quantity surveyor. It's solid, heavy wood measuring 32" x 42" (~81 X 107 cm) and has been used in recent times to tape paper to for painting. The marks can simply be sanded off, though the drawing pin holes from its original use are not so easily dealt with! Sad to see it go but I have no use for it. Could anyone make use of it, either as a drawing board or repurposed as something else. Drop me a message if this floats your boat, Thanks for looking, Colinmud in Madeley

The section with the mirror is fixed. There's a hanging rail. We'd like this gone by Friday or I will just recycle the wood. Happy to offer it to the first person who wants it. I could possibly deliver within Telford. Thanks for looking ColinMud in Madeley

Free: Heavy duty carpet protector (Telford and Wrekin TF7) Expired I'm posting this on behalf of a friend. He has five of these protectors. They measure 122cm by 90cm and are knobbly on one side and smooth on the other. I think the tab is intended to fit in a doorway. They were headed to the skip until I intervened. I'm happy to offer them to the first person who responds and can pick them up in the next couple of days. If no takers they head skipwards once more. Thanks for looking, ColinMud in Madeley

Request: Old water tank - preferably plastic (Telford and Wrekin TF7) Received A strange request! I'm looking for some sort of tank that I can connect to a water butt and use to fill watering cans, so it needs to be big enough for a can to be submerged in it. If you have something like that I'd be very interested to see a picture and/or dimensions, or come and look if you're not too far away. Thanks for looking, ColinMud in Madeley

Free: Dyson DC44animal cordless vacuum with charger and fittings (Telford and Wrekin TF7) Gifted We haven't used this for a couple of years but I've just charged the battery and the vacuum functioned for about five minutes before cutting out. After a few moments it came on again and did a further couple of minutes, so it might do for occasional cleaning? It comes with wall bracket, charger and attachments as in the picture It is on Dyson's 'retired' list so spares may not be readily available and I've just checked online to see that replacement batteries seem to cost from £38 upwards. If you are interested please message me saying why you would like it. I will wait until Monday midday before replying to messages. I'm guessing this may be popular, so please accept my apologies in advance if you don't receive it. Thanks for looking, ColinMud in Madeley

Free: Lightweight cork noticeboard (Telford and Wrekin TF7) Gifted Measuring 60 x 80 cm this has a thin cork surface on what seems to be a cardboard backing. It's in good condition and I have a box of ladybird pins to go with it!! Drop me a message if this might float your boat. Thanks for looking, ColinMud in Madeley

Free: Old barometer-reposted (Telford and Wrekin TF7) Gifted I'm posting this again because it's still available due to a break in communication. If you do reply to this post please look out for my replies! (happy to hear from the person who expressed an interest earlier if he's still interested) I've had this barometer in the garage for a while. The glue has dried and it has become disassembled. The workings slot back on easily as in the picture, but it will need regluing. See 30cm ruler in the picture for scale. If this is of interest to a handy person please message me, preferably with a name, saying why you would like it. Thanks for looking, ColinMud
