Accessories for Moulinex Masterchef 350 food processor (Galgate LA2)
Gifted
The machine has packed up but the accessories are in good condition so if anyone has a machine but broken accessories they're welcome to these. The machine is also available if anyone thinks they can repair it. It just stopped working. I changed the fuse (3A) but that made no difference. It is about 20 years old but has had a fairly easy life. If interested, please provide a phone number to arrange collection.

Cupboard (Galgate LA2)
Real wood. It is of German manufacture and was brought back from Germany by its owner. Could be wall-mounted. Has four cupboards, two with frosted glass doors. The glass doors lock, the locks work and there are three keys. It would make a very nice upcycling project. Dimensions: D 14 x W 44 x H 29.5 inches This item needs two people to carry it so you need to bring someone with you when you collect it. I cannot help carry it.

Wardrobe (Galgate LA2)
Wooden wardrobe. It is a genuine utility wardrobe, made during WW2 and until 1949 (Wikipedia has a page on Utility Furniture). Dimensions: D 22 x W 48 x H 72.5 inches This item probably needs two people to carry it so you need to bring someone with you when you collect it. I cannot help carry it. I can arrange for someone to dismantle it to help with collection and transport if necessary but it would probably be a good idea to see the wardrobe as it stands first. If it was dismantled, one person could move it.

Hall stand and bench (Galgate LA2)
Withdrawn

Large piece heavy black plastic (rolled) (Galgate LA2)
Gifted
The roll is about 4' tall and the diameter is about 6". It is heavy and a bit awkward to lift. (The photo is NOT of the actual roll.) From memory the plastic is folded in four lengthwise so I guess the width of the opened-out sheet to be about 16'. I can't estimate the length. The plastic is heavy gauge but there are some little bubbles in it making it not utterly waterproof so it would be no use as pond lining, for instance. The outside of the roll is not clean or dry because it's been kept in the garden. and I'll offer it to the successful Freegler on Tuesday 17th Sep evening.

Woollen blankets (single bed) (Galgate LA2)
Gifted
Three good quality woollen blankets all for a single bed. One pink one is definitely an 'All Wool Witney blanket' (/). The label has been removed from the other pink blanket but it feels the same. The pink blankets can be used as under blankets as well as going on top of bedding which makes the bed warmer and the mattress surface feel softer. The green cellular blanket is woollen with a satin trim (no label). Cellular blankets are designed to be put under a solid blanket so that the holes trap warm air. Or, because they're lightweight, they can be used in the summer months on their own. From a smoke and pet-free home. Fair Offer Policy: I agree to take a while before choosing who gets this.
