Request: Curtains (Shrewsbury SY1) I am looking for some curtains. Ideally, pencil pleat H72in W66in in a plain colour. Preferred colours deep red and deep green, but they are only to tide me over until my curtains have been made (not until after Christmas!). Blackout or at least lined ones would be preferable. I need a minimum of two pairs but hopefully three. If anyone can help, I would be very grateful. You don't have to have all 3 pairs! I am willing to put up with non matching curtains for a few months!!! Thanks!

Request: Recycling box and/or bag (Shrewsbury SY1) Withdrawn I am in need of a black recycling box and a blue bag for paper/cardboard as my new home has neither. I thought that rather than use more plastic by ordering new, I would see first if anyone has one they are not using. Thanks

Free: Antifreeze and coolant (Longden SY5) Gifted Loads left in. At least one of the bottles said it has a 5 year life - now I am assuming that means you can leave it in the car for that amount of time, not that it's from when you buy or open it.

Free: Pine wooden bed frame (Longden SY5) Gifted Not expecting anyone to want this, but thought it was worth a go before tossing. So, its shortcomings:- The slats obviously don't fit the bedframe correctly as there should be gaps between them I believe There are bits that are broken as per photos. I don't have many screws that fit the slats but I do have ones to fit tge central wooden one from head to toe Despite all that, the headboard and footboard are in pretty decent nick and, when assembled, the bed is really very sturdy. Tgat said it has only been used in the guestroom so not in every day use. Believe it or not, this is the condition in which I acquired the bed but as it had been dismantled, I had no idea about its faults. It will probably be going to the tip on 14th June.
