Request: Edward Marston Books (Ashfield CA14) Does anyone have any of the EDWARD MARSTON RAILWAY DETECTIVE books they no longer want? I have an elderly friend who has just started reading them and would love more. I can collect Workington, Cockermouth, Maryport, Whitehaven. Sadly any further afield and petrol costs don't make it viable. So thank you to those in Carlisle etc who offer but I must decline.

Free: Window Cleaning Brush (Ashfield CA14) Gifted I have two window cleaning devices. One is an almost new window brush that attaches to a hose. (Green in photo) The other is a sponge and squeegie for removing the water after brushing. (Red in photo) The former is hardly used, the latter has been well used but still works ok and its sponge can be replaced. Both are telescopic so reaches upstairs fine, though I doubt either will reach a third storey. I want them to go as a pair.

Request: PVC straight connecter for plastic greenhouse (Ashfield CA14) Withdrawn Does anyone have a spare straight connector for a plastic greenhouse. I am just putting together my new Woodside tomato house and manged to split one. They don't come with spares and I can't find the straight ones on the internet at all. As far as I can tell its 16mm dia and 60mm long. Alternatively if anyone has a piece of copper pipe that would go round it to protect the split, I could try that. It only needs to be 4omm to 60mm long as i don't have the means to shorten a longer piece. Anyone with any ideas are welcome to contact me.

Free: Solar Fountain (Ashfield CA14) Gifted I bought this little solar fountain. About 6 inches across. Although it works it doesn't do so very well. I don't know if I don't have enough sun where I wanted it. I wonder if anyone else would like to give it a try. It comes with instructions and has to be placed in a bowl of water at least 3 or 4 inches deep.

Request: net curtain (Ashfield CA14) Expired I am looking for a piece of net curtain that I can throw over my gooseberry bush before the birds get a chance to decimate it this year. Can anyone help? Ideally in Workington or Cockermouth area. Or I can pay for it to be posted.

Request: Ikea Kallax (Ashfield CA14) Expired Has any one got an Ikea Kallax unit (size 3 cubes x 2 cubes) that they no longer want? In black or white.

Free: Strimmer (Ashfield CA14) Gifted CORDED strimmer. Needs a good clean but was working the last time I tried it.

156d

Request: Photo frame (Ashfield CA14) Received I need an A4 photo frame. Not too fancy and ideally black or white, but grateful for anything. Just want to frame a picture I have been given of my dog.

199d

Free: Pillows (Ashfield CA14) Expired Two good condition clean pillows. One memory foam and one feather. Can split or take both. I have too many pillows so am having a clear out. I also have other pillows available but they are older.

205d

Free: Pressure Washer (Ashfield CA14) Gifted Power Devil pressure washer. Mains power. Comes with three nozzles. My husband got this from a free site some years ago but I don't think he ever used it. I wouldn't know where to start so if someone can take it that will be great. I don't know how it works and can only assume it does work. It did when he went to collect it but it has sat in my garage for last 6 years at least, unused.

219d

Free: Rollator (Ashfield CA14) Gifted Large size rollator. In good condition though it is missing a screw. Still usable and the screw could be easily replaced. Seat 14" wide over frame width 21"

231d

Free: Double Mattress (Ashfield CA14) Gifted This is an excellent condition double mattress only bought a few years ago. It is high quality latex, so cooler than memory foam. Completely unmarked. With rigid sides to give more stability. The only reason I am parting with it is because I now have a bone condition that means I need a softer mattress. Though this one has an inbuilt soft topper the over all effect is too firm for me. Included with it is a brand new neck pillow as seen in the photo. Because of the stiffened sides this mattress cannot be folded or rolled so you will need a spacious vehicle/van to transport it. Latex mattresses are quite heavy so it needs two people to move it. I can probably help this end but I recommend two people coming to collect.

236d

Request: Rollers (Ashfield CA14) Expired I need to move my shed about 8 feet. Has anyone got anything that I can use as rollers? Or to slide it. It is 6ft x 8ft wooden. Will obviously be empty. Scaffold poles and round fence posts have both been suggestions but if you have any better idea I would love to know. I hope to move it before Christmas so a new concrete base can be laid. Once the concrete is set I will need to roll it back again. After that the rollers won't be needed so I can offer forward or back on Freegle. Hope someone has a good suggestion, better still the tools for the job, for me. Thank you.

253d

Request: clean jam jars (Ashfield CA14) Received I am having a go at making some jam. My first attempt in about 40 years! I reckon I need about 8 jam jars with lids. If you can help please get back to me asap, even if you only have one or two. I can collect most days/times. I live in Workington so looking for offers in a 10 mile radius. Thanks.

Free: Blanket/Storage Box (Ashfield CA14) Gifted 1940/50s style blanket box. This belonged to my mother in law. When I acquired it I covered it with fresh material, but I was told that to pass it on I had to strip it back to the original materials or I would need a fire certificate. The original padding and cover are pre certificating era so no cert needed. The hinges are fine, the padding is good but as you can see the old cover badly needs covering with something new and modern. It is very easy to cover, simply by tacking on a sheet of material. It would look good if painted in a modern colour. Ideal for kids toys, blankets or as a general storage box. It has been in constant use but I am clearing out and it needs to go. Such a pity to take it to the tip.

271d

Free: Flag stones (Ashfield CA14) Expired 6 x used flag stones 40cm x 40cm A couple have some concrete on the underside which will need removing if laying on hard surface but will sink into any softer surface. Ideal for garden stepping stones.
