Free: Storage unit for drill bits (Telford and Wrekin TF7) Gifted This unit is about 17cm in diameter and has many holes for drill bits of varying size from 1mm to 13mm. It sits on a stand which allows it to rotate. I have used it for a while, but have found it's best sitting on a workbench. I often have to carry my tools around so have gone back to metal boxes. It's nothing special but may be just the job for someone. Thanks for looking, ColinMud

Free: John Lewis Blind - unused - reposting (Telford and Wrekin TF7) Promised Sadly the person to whom I promised this has been unable to collect it due to no fault of their own so I am reposting. Thanks for looking. John Lewis Navy Blue linen mix blackout blind Width 61cm Length 160cm. See this webpage: This was never fitted and is in original packaging. Thanks for looking. ColinMud

Free: Cordless phone: Base station and extension (Telford and Wrekin TF7) I'm reposting this in case anyone was tempted. If I don't get any responses I will admit defeat! We finally got rid of our landline and now have this pair of phones going spare. They have lots of useful features and whey worked fine until disconnected in December, It's a BT400 Twin model, see this website . The base station needs a power supply and phone line, and the extension just needs a power socket. With the impending switch to digital I guess their life is limited, but thought they might do someone a turn. Thanks for looking. ColinMud

Free: Empty photo transparency cases (Telford and Wrekin TF7) Withdrawn Now that I've sifted through my families slides I am left with these empty slide cases. Old school and probably of no use to anyone, but I thought I'd give them a go on Freegle. Plastic trays in cardboard trays with lids. If you can think of a use for them I'd be delighted to let you have some or all of them. Happy Freegling, ColinMud

Free: Large Christmas Tree! (Telford and Wrekin TF7) Withdrawn Some years ago we bought a Christmas tree in a pot, and after Christmas we planted it in the ground. It is now rather large and is blocking the light so sadly it needs to come down. Would anyone be interested in making use of it? I can help with cutting it down, but it would possibly need a trailer, or a long roof rack, unless you wanted to just cut a section of it..... If you are interested please say why you would like the tree. I'll wait a couple of days before replying. Thanks for looking ColinMud

Free: Book for someone born in 1945 (Telford and Wrekin TF7) Gifted A good friend bought me this but he was a few years out! Do you know someone who has an 80th birthday this month, or an 81st birthday next year. This might be just the job. It's in new condition, and full of 1945 info and pictures. Thanks for looking, ColinMud

Free: Empty 35mm slide cases (Telford and Wrekin TF7) Withdrawn 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: Metal hole punch (Telford and Wrekin TF7) Expired A little dusty, but sturdy. I'm having a clear out and only need one hole punch. Any offers? Thanks for looking, Colinmud

114d

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

150d

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) Expired 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

Free: Spools of machine yarn (Telford and Wrekin TF7) Gifted I found these when clearing my sister's house. As in the picture. The white one is labelled "Bramwell Silk 100% Acrylic". 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) Expired 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

216d

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

216d

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

272d

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

291d

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
