Free: vertical blind parts (Ashfield CA14) The runner on my vertical blind broke so I decided to have a change. The strips themselves are fine so would any one be able to use them? Maybe to replace your broken or damaged ones. There are 17 in all measuring 12.5cm wide by 146cm long. All come with weighted base. 3 are missing the top hanging bar but a dress makers pin works as well. Inc are the two types of chain for opening and closing the blinds and for changing the angle. as well as the plastic chain for linking each strip, that goes along the bottom.. In fact everything except the runner itself. In a kind of off white colour. The pictures show them a bit crumpled from storage but they can be ironed out on a cool iron or left hanging and the creases will drop out after time.

Free: decking (Ashfield CA14) Promised I am shortly planning on dismantling my wooden decking. Although it is solid wood, parts of it have rotted. Other slats seem to be quite strong still. It might be possible to use some to patch up other decking or to make garden planters etc. Also it can be used if you have a wood burner or of course, if you are building a community bonfire for 5th Nov. If you are interested in seeing it please get back to me. If its not what you want there will be no obligation to take it. But I hate having to take it all to the tip, partly because it seems a waste but also because as I only have a small car and it will involve sawing them in half and even then making a lot of trips. :) Each piece is APPROX 9ft long by 6 inches wide.

Free: garden bulbs (Ashfield CA14) Gifted I have been clearing out last years garden troughs and have a lot of small garden bulbs going spare. Some are literally babies. I don't know what they are but I know Muscari and Bluebell are amongst them. Poss tete-a-tetes too. To be fair to everyone I am bagging them up so will have about 6 bags (sandwich bag size) to offer to 6 people. I am not letting them all go to one person. I cannot guarantee what type of bulbs you will get as I am just scooping them up into bags. These are an ideal size for spring troughs and containers but could also be put into the ground and allowed to spread naturally. They still have some soil attached as I am not washing them. They should be planted any time but the recommendation is Aug to end Oct. I am replanting the ones I am keeping, now. If you would like a bag please get back to me. If there are more later I will offer them here.
