Free: Kiln Dried C16 Timber, 2 Lengths, 45 x 95mm (Margate CT9) Kiln Dried C16 45x95mm timber, two lengths ~990mm ~1520mm These are left over from a job I had done.

Request: Loft insulation rolls (Margate CT9) Any width, any depth, any type. When I bought my place there was no loft insulation and I've laid 100mm of Thermafleece between the joists. I was hoping to get another 200mm to put as cross lay but I won't have the money to get it until next year. So, until then I've been able to cross lay 50-100mm in a portion of the loft but would like another ~20m 2 of anything just to see me through the winter.

Request: Batten, any finish, any wood, ideally 25mm x 50mm & 540mm (Margate CT9) For a shelf in a built in cupboard. Ideally 25mm x 50mm & 540mm but any size will do at the moment! Cosmetics do not matter.

Free: Wooden Desk Drawer Insert (Margate CT9) Wooden desk drawer insert, L 373mm x W 382mm x D 64mm. Came from the top drawer of an ancient flat pack office chest of drawers. Depth dimension is of highest side. I have a place I can leave this for collection.

Free: Iris Plastic Box Lids/Large Trays 590 x 390mm (Margate CT9) Withdrawn Possibly useful for a number of things. I had a load of weatherproof storage boxes delivered and a number of the lids were damaged in transit so I am getting sent new ones. The cracks are fairly minor but mean they are no longer great for intended use. You can take one, two or all.

18d

Request: Desktop PC Keyboard USB or ps/2 (Margate CT9) Withdrawn I broke my keyboard by spilling a tub of yogurt on it and then plugging it back in before it had properly dried after I washed it. I have one on order but I am dependant on Evri delivering it which might not be for a few days.

21d

Request: CD/DVD Disc Repair Device (Margate CT9) Expired Something like a manual operated SkipDr (or a powered one but they are not cheap) if anyone has one they don't use any more. One that is not suitable for bluray and only works with CD & DVD is absolutely fine. I don't drive so you will need to be near a bus route or able to meet me somewhere near one.

Free: 5W LED Light Bulbs B15/SBC (Margate CT9) Gifted Two new and boxed another two only lightly used. You don't have to take all of them. These are bayonet caps but small/compact ones, 15mm width instead of the usual 22mm.

Free: FDD Cable Round Dual ~60cm (Margate CT9) Expired This has been in a box for 10-15 years I guess and so it has gathered a bit of dust

Free: 1.5m Scart Cable M-M (Margate CT9) Expired Been lying around for at least 10 years.

Free: 1.5m Metal Shower Head Hose - New (Margate CT9) Expired This came off a bath mixer tap I bought about 9 years ago and I replaced it with a longer one so this has never been used but the plastic zip bag it has been in for all these years is a bit grubby. Note that the fitting size for taps and shower heads seems pretty much universal. I am also giving away the longer one I bought back then as I replaced it with a smooth plastic one for eaisier cleaning.

128d

Free: 2m Shower Hose Standard Bore G1/2 (Margate CT9) Expired I replaced this with one that is smooth and easy to clean. This is a bog standard one I bought from Homebase about 8 years ago. It has some silicone sealant that I accidentally got on it and it needs a general clean. The washers are present and had not failed when I replaced it recently.

Free: Two Adjustable Metal Curtain Pole With Brackets (Margate CT9) Gifted 1.35m long before any extension

Free: USB Card Reader (Margate CT9) Gifted Found this in a drawer, no idea where I got it from. I am pretty sure I never bought it so was likely given it many years ago. When plugging it into a desktop PC via the USB (which is folded away in the first two images) then it is recognised and an LED lights up on the device but I have not tested it with any cards.

Free: Smallish Gift Tin (Margate CT9) Gifted Smallish gift tin that originally had 250g of fudge in it. I got given this with some sweets in it about 9 years ago, and I've kept it in case I could find a use, but it is time to give it away. Size: 17 x 11.6 x 6cm

Request: Planks For Shelf (CT9) Expired Hi, I need plank type wood no less than 1m long to make a shelf in a cupboard. I have a few pieces for batten although some extra wouldn't be refused. The depth of the shelf will be up to ~530mm. It does not need to look pretty, I can sand and paint it. I don't drive but I have a large camping rucksack and will happily walk a couple of miles to collect. Also there are buses! But I'd prefer someone within walking distance of the Aldi in Cliftonville.

Free: 12" Cloth Filter for Numatic Henry/Hetty/George/James Vacuum (CT9) Gifted This was used with no bag in the vacuum so it needs a really good clean. It is currently tied in a black plastic bin liner so I am not going to photo it as it will get dust everywhere. I believe the best way to clean it is to give it a vacuum with another vacuum. Whilst outside. I'm in a top floor flat and the building has no garden at all so it's eaisier for me to give it away.

Free: 250g Dried Lemongrass Sealed (Margate CT9) Gifted I bought two packs of this and I have this one spare. The package is heatsealed.

Free: Remanufactured Inkjet Printer Cartridge CL546XL Colour Canon (CT9) Expired This has been sat in a drawer for at least 10 years. Printer compatibility: Pixma IP2840/IP2850/MG2950/MG2450/MG2455/MG2550/MX495

Free: AC Adapter Barrel Jack 5.5mm 2.1mm From Speakers 9V 300mA (CT9) Expired Working a few years ago. It came with the speakers of the first PC I bought back in 1998. I kept them for testing use until one of them died a few years ago. The barrel jack is 5.5mm outer and 2.1mm inner. Output 9v 300mA.

245d

Free: Five Seed Trays ~35.5 x 24cm (CT9) Gifted I've found that, given the space I have in my flat, smaller plastic trays from buying mushrooms (for instance) are more useful.

249d

Free: Digital Probe Thermometer (CT9) Expired This was cheap, I bought it about 8 years ago when I left a decent one behind. I bought it for checking food temperatures but it is so slow to read that it's basically useless for that. I must have removed the battery years ago although there is evidence that it had leaked before I did so. The product info sheet says it requires 1.5V(AG13) x 1Key as a power supply. It's a very small and round battery, that I know. Reads in centigrade or fahrenheit.

Free: Rear USB Ports For Desktop PC (CT9) Expired These are too old to be USB 3 but do still work fine.

Request: Magazines For Art Therapy (CT9) Expired Hi, I volunteer for a recovery group and sometimes photos from magazines are used in art therapy (people cut out images), I prefer to call it 'creative recovery'. Anyway, we could do with some new (old) ones. Anything with images of people, places, or things. I don't drive but I can pick up quite a few in one go. I'll stick them in a decent sized rucksack. Thank you to the people who have so far provided me (us) with a good selection of brilliant magazines. Always after more, however. I volunteer at two sites, and the charities I work with have numerous other ones so if I end up with more than my groups can use I can give them to others.

Free: Molex Splitter (CT9) Expired Certainly used to work but I have not used it in many years

256d

Free: Zoom X6 ADSL Router Ethernet Wireless (CT9) Expired Can't remember where this came from. No recollection of ever using it. I've plugged it into electric and it turns on as you would expect but I haven't tested anything else. Model number: 5590E

256d

Free: Yamaha 3-Way HiFi Speaker NS-99AV (CT9) Gifted Found this in the attic of my flat. Have been able to give it a basic test and all three units seem to function. I don't have a HiFi system to test it on, I used an old 5.1 desktop theatre system and plugged it into one of the front speaker outputs, so it isn't a prefect test at all. It's quite large: 26.8 x 21.7 x 47.4cm

Free: Metal Balloon Hand Whisk ~31cm Long (CT9) Expired Used, I bought a better one so getting rid. About 31cm from end to end. Maybe someone has a non culinary use for it?

263d

Request: Spider Plant Babies, Bonnie, Hawaiian or Atlantic Types (CT9) Expired I'd like any baby plants from some of the less common varieties such as Bonnie, Atlantic and Hawaiian (the one pictured). I have 5 different types of spider plant, the three most common ones and Ocean and Fire Flash already. I include a picture of a Hawaiian as I really want one of them for the lime colour.

Free: Double Wall Socket (CT9) Expired Working, I replaced it with a nicer looking one with USB outlets. It has bits of wall paper stuck to it. No screws as I used them for the new sockets, bizarrely they didn't come with them.
