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....

Free: bundle of old net curtains - for covering fruit bushes? (Fords Farm RG31) Old and probably not really suitable for house use. I have used them in the past to keep the pigeons off my blueberries! 4 small curtains approx. 32ins x 48ins and 2 larger curtains approx. 80ins by 46ins

Request: laser printer with duplex function (Fords Farm RG31) VERY long shot this but if anyone located less than miles from Calcot is upgrading and has a working laser printer similar to the one in my photo (max 40cms wide) I would love to give it a new home. I need automatic double sided printing but B/W only is fine. Mine was deemed uneconomical to repair by the manufacturer so I have started researching to buy a new one but thought I would just ask here first........

Free: Brother HL-6050D b/white laser printer - FOR SPARES (Fords Farm RG31) Withdrawn After faithful service for many years it is not printing despite attempts - by Brother AND my toner supplier - to identify the problem. Their conclusion was 'The printer is completing the print process but toner is not being transferred on to the paper... it is possible that an internal mechanical part has worn or failed. Replacement parts for this model are now extremely limited.....'

36d

Free: 2 pairs of pyjamas and 1 pair of socks- age 4-5yrs (Fords Farm RG31) Gifted 2 pairs of pyjamas - by George - interchangeable designs. Label says age 4-5.

Request: small bedside unit (Fords Farm RG31) Withdrawn I have this old dark wood bedside unit.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! Is anyone replacing something like this with a newer one? I have looked online to buy 2nd hand but no luck. I accepted a cupboard from a fellow freegler but once in situ I realised it doesn't actually fit the bill. Even happy to take a PAIR of dark wood units in a different design, if the size is right, and I will then freegle both of the others. Thank you!

Free: Portachess electronic game (Fords Farm RG31) Gifted Game is VERY old so 'as seen'. It was working when put away in our games cupboard. The batteries were left in, so the contacts may need a thorough clean. I put new batteries in anyway and it switched on ok but I didn't try a game. Includes plenty of spare playing pieces, instruction manual and a plastic case (which is a very tight fit since the game lid broke and is mended with tape! Neither is essential for playing)

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?

Edited and reposted due to an unsuccessful enquiry regarding the BROKEN birdbath. It is just potential hardcore.
