Free: Rubik's cube (Fords Farm RG31) Given to me by a fellow freegler but it seems the colour stickers had been removed and replaced incorrectly. According to this website - this problem can be overcome but time for me to pass it on to someone with more time and patience to do it!

Free: WarHorse stage show programme and Globe theatre guide (Fords Farm RG31) In pristine condition. Just sitting, neglected, on a bookshelf. Would anyone like them before I discard them in the recycling bin?

4h

Free: 4 door handles (Fords Farm RG31) PLEASE NOTE Just the handles. No internal mechanism. It is possible to attach them, for example, as grab handles on a shed door or side gate... or even a cupboard door?

4h

Free: 2 Tempered glass screen protectors for mobile phone (Fords Farm RG31) 2 in pack. Instructions included. Approx 5.5ins x 2.75ins. Too small for my Samsung.

4h

Free: A gift pack of 2 pomanders (Fords Farm RG31) Reposted after several requests that were not followed up. PLEASE NOTE the description: Label says SCENTED Pomanders but the scent is neither identified nor detectable any more! A few drops of lavender oil or similar could give them a new lease of life perhaps? It seems a shame to 'bin' them....

4h

Free: curtain track gliders (pack of 20+) (Fords Farm RG31) If you recognise these because you have a curtain track with this exact type of glider they will be very useful as spares. They may possibly fit a very old Swish track but do not fit any of my tracks ...... nor the 3ft 6ins track also on offer here.

4h

Free: plastic curtain track (Fords Farm RG31) 3ft 6ins (107cms) long. Has fittings for screwing to the wall and both end stops but NO HOOKS.

4h

Free: 2 small non-stick frying pans (Fords Farm RG31) Both are 8ins (20cms) diameter. They are in reasonable condition and I plan to replace them because the non-stick surface is beginning to show signs of wear. Still usable for food but may be more suited to a play kitchen or other non-food use?

4h

Free: pair of small brown curtains (Fords Farm RG31) Each curtain measures 34ins long and 48ins wide. Rufflette tape for hooks still attached. Some sun-fading on one edge on INSIDE of each curtain and more on outside. Brown colour is a warmer shade than photos suggest. Can anyone use them 'as is' or even just use the fabric for crafting or patchwork?

8d

Free: Fabric offcuts (Fords Farm RG31) Heavy glazed cotton offcuts. Ideal for craft or patchworking. One large piece 28ins x 50ins. Was originally am eiderdown cover that has been repurposed so the rest are mostly the frills.

8d

Free: Temperamental Dvd player (Fords Farm RG31) Withdrawn Reposted due to failed collection. Working ok. Plays discs. Box and remote controller (needs batteries) included as per photo... BUT be aware. The disc drawer can be temperamental. It opens and shuts (see pic) BUT sometimes it needs a bit of persuasion to open when empty! Might need further investigation? Surplus to my requirements as I have another machine.

15d

Free: Folic acid and vit B12 capsules (Fords Farm RG31) Gifted Feroglobin. 2 boxes. One contains the full 30 capsules. One contains 17 capsules. All in unbroken blister packs. Over the counter purchase no longer needed. Destined to go to the local pharmacy for disposal if not freegled.

17d

Request: small bedside unit (Fords Farm RG31) I have this old dark wood bedside unit. I need another, similar and no deeper than 16ins (41cm), for the other side of my bed so that I can still open both storage drawers in the bed base! It's a very long shot I know, but is anyone replacing something like this with a newer one? I have looked online to buy 2nd hand but no luck. Even happy to take a PAIR of dark wood units in a different design, if the size is right, and I will then freegle this one. Thank you!

20d

Free: Balance bike (Fords Farm RG31) Withdrawn Received from a freegler for my grandson but no longer being used. Tyres are a bit soft but otherwise in good condition. My bike pump attachment does not fit but Halfords pumped them up for me last time air was needed.

20d

Free: Potential Hardcore (Fords Farm RG31) Withdrawn Several large pieces of concrete and a broken birdbath (which is NOT repairable). The concrete was dug out of a flower bed by a previous gardener! (presumably buried by builders when house was built). I cannot lift, move or break it up to take it to the tip. Can anyone take it away and make use of it ALL please. Edited and reposted due to an unsuccessful enquiry regarding the BROKEN birdbath. It is just potential hardcore.

Request: old style schwartz spice jars (Fords Farm RG31) Received Schwartz changed the shape of their jars some time ago and the new ones in the shops do not fit in my racks. Had I anticipated that, I would not have thrown my empty jars in the recycling bin as they became empty!

40d

Free: collection of 25kg plastic bags (Fords Farm RG31) Originally contained salt for a water softener... very strong plastic. (not recycleable?) Can anyone make use of them?

81d

Free: RCD circuit breaker (Fords Farm RG31) Gifted Old, originally used with lawnmower and hedge trimmer in case the cable was run over! (Instantly cuts power if an earth connection leakage is detected) Not been needed since my new consumer board was installed so can't guarantee it is still working.

Free: Collection of badges (Fords Farm RG31) Gifted 8 'name' / logo badges and pins. Could be recycled by attaching paper labels over the original logos. Destined for the tip unless someone can find a use for them. The blood donor badges come with boxes which could also be repurposed separately.

152d

Free: 2 lamp shades for table lamps (Fords Farm RG31) Gifted Colour: terracotta colour 'fabric feel' on plastic. 9ins high. (22.86cms.) Holder is low down so the shades will accommodate quite tall bulbs.

152d

Request: a small piece of 'wood' to make a shelf (Fords Farm RG31) Expired I need an offcut of 'wood' - Veneered/ coated chipboard? (don't know what it is called) to make a shelf for my laptop (I have changed from a tower PC to a laptop and wifi keyboard. I only need a piece about 17.5 ins (44.45cm) x10.5ins (26.67cm) and all I can find online comes MUCH larger pieces! Has anyone got something suitable lying around in the garage or shed that I could repurpose please? Can't recycle the tower unit until I have a shelf! :-) Thanks.

179d

Free: Various curtain hooks and rings (Fords Farm RG31) Gifted Metal curtain rings - 2 sizes Plastic curtain hooks for rufflette tape - DO NOT FIT the curtain track also offered today. Curtain gliders (also known as curtain track runners). Could fit a Swish rail (but not the track also offered today). Ideally all to go together please as none of them fit the tracks currently in my house!

227d

Free: 7 screw-top glass jars - ideal for jam or chutney (Fords Farm RG31) Gifted All have plastic lids so ideal for home made jam, or chutney (which contains vinegar, which damages metal lids). I am offering them, hoping for their re-use rather than just putting them in the glass recycling bin.

227d

Free: Wooden carver chair in need of restoration (Fords Farm RG31) Gifted It is structurally solid except for the seat insert, which warped because I accidentally I left the chair outside in a long period of rain. When I inherited it from my parents the seat had been repaired with plywood and the whole thing painted with white glosss paint and it looked lovely. I took it back inside planning to restore it but sadly no longer have the enthusiasm or energy. Would someone else like restore it to its former glory... please?

227d

Free: selection of zipped pouches etc (Fords Farm RG31) Gifted Take the ones you want or take all. Plain grey/ blue one originally held hard contact lens solutions. Patterned grey one originally held cosmetics. Red one originally held some mini tools. No longer needed but it seems a shame to put them in the bin.

233d

Free: Bible and 2 books of Common Prayer (Fords Farm RG31) Gifted These are in very poor condition but no longer have sentimental or historical value for me or my family so they will probably end up being taken apart and put in the recycling bin on my next collection day (7th Nov). Offering here in the meantime in case anyone can find another use for them.

234d

Free: 2 pyrex casserole dishes with lids (Fords Farm RG31) Gifted Brown one is 8.5 ins diameter and clear one is 7.5ins diameter. The clear one has clouded after being washed too in a dishwasher over many years. Still perfectly useable but now surplus to my requirements.
