Wire coat hangers (Bedford MK43)
Received
I'm looking for old wire coat hangers (just bare metal, not painted). They can be bent or misshapen. I will cut them up to use in my garden as plant tag or wire netting pegs, or ties for cages to protect young fruit trees from muntjac deer or hens from the fox at night.

Full Channel Digital FM Transmitter FMTF (Bedford MK43)
This is a Macally transmitter for an iPod or MP3 player to be streamed in a car. I remember now how we used it and Chatgpt confirms it is still a good way to stream music in vehicles without Bluetooth. The Macally Full Channel Digital FM Transmitter (FMTF) niche use case is "Car Audio: If you have an older car with a radio that doesn’t support Bluetooth, an FM transmitter like the Macally FMTF could still be useful for playing music from a phone or MP3 player through the car’s stereo system. However, newer Bluetooth FM transmitters (with better sound quality) might be a better option. Broadcasting to an FM Radio in a Limited Area: Some people still use FM transmitters to broadcast their own content (like podcasts or music mixes) to nearby radios, such as for personal radio stations, hobby projects, or events." I could deliver to villages around MK43, to Poets area, Clapham, Brickhill and Goldington Road when I come into Bedford if that helps.

Canmore GPS GP-102+ (Bedford MK43)
Gifted
Barely used, since 2012, still in its box. It's a GPS tracker and sports tracker that works without the need for a phone signal if you're off the beaten track. It has not been used since 2014 when I believe it was taken on only a couple of excursions in Germany. It was a gift to my husband but he was never interested in using tech stuff rather than a paper map. I have no idea if it will still work but Chatgpt says it has uses where mobile phones run out of signal or battery.

Barely Used Bath (Pavenham MK43)
This is a white acrylic bath. It was fitted in a bathroom refurb for an elderly person 2 years ago who now needs a shower for easy access. The bath had an edging strip glued on the end which has made little chips along the edge on removal. This could be hidden if you tile down onto the bath. There is a curved shower screen and 2 sets of wall taps with spout available on request.

Request:
USB charging plug (Bedford MK43)
Received
Our phones are getting old and don't hold their charge. We have to take our chargers with us when we look after the grandkids, as theirs are all USB C, and we keep forgetting. Does anyone have one (or 2) of this older style that they don't use anymore?

CD Modular Rack Units (Burnaston DE65)
Expired
There are 8 individual black plastic CD units that can be used individually or slotted together to make a TV-shaped rectangle or a tall set of shelving. Each unit holds a minimum of 9 CDs, though you can see 3 of the shelf racks inside each unit are for extra thick CD albums, so that would be a minimum of 12 single CDs per unit. Each unit has screw holes at the back. The units are undamaged though a little dusty.

Spear & Jackson Handsaws (Burnaston DE65)

These two inherited handsaws are blunt. Unfortunately taking them for sharpening would cost more than buying new ones. However, if anyone has a saw sharpening arrangement they are sturdy, clean from rust and waiting for a good home.

Eden Easy Edging Handtool (Burnaston DE65)
Gifted
This has scarcely been used. It is intended for quick, manual trimming of lawn edges. The relative who bought it did not realise that it is for lawns that run up to paving or a hard edge not for lawns abutting flower borders. They did not have a hard surface or level pathway edging their lawn and so it has remained unused.

B&Q LawnCare (Burnaston DE65)
Gifted
1 full bag and a bit extra of B&Q LawnCare. It advertises to feed, weed and moss kill a lawn treating 240 sqm. It has been in my mum's shed for an unknown length of time. I don't use chemicals in my garden but if offering this stops someone who does keep a perfect lawn from buying new I am happy to pass it on rather than take it to landfill.
