Free: Vango - Venture 500 Tent (Penwortham PR1) Promised We have had this tent about 15 years, but it is in good condition. It has never been put away damp and has been stored in the house. It is meant to be for four people, but realistically it is idea for two adults.

Free: Dell Computer (Windows 10 Removed) (Penwortham PR1) Gifted This Dell computer was being used until yesterday when it was replaced by a modern PC. It needs to be taken by someone who is able to create a Windows 10 installation USB drive and then reinstall Windows 10. I have reformatted the hard disk to ensure all the personal data has been removed. I suggest that if you are not reasonably skills you do not request this item. The Dell Inspiron PC was new in 2013 together with the mouse and keyboard - both work. The HP monitor was new in 2009 and does not have an HMDI connector just a COMM connector. It has a 1 terabyte Seagate hard drive. For someone who enjoys working with PCs it might be worth taking for the monitor, keyboard, mouse and hard disk. Freegle tells me I have given away over 130 items so at times my patience has been tested. I favour local people over those miles away, those who can come relatively quickly and those who are reliable and able to adhere to an agreed time.

Free: Electric Heated Clothes Dryer (Unwanted Gift) (Penwortham PR1) Gifted I think this heated clothes dryer came from QVC and is an unwanted gift. It is unbranded. It has never been used and has been in the back of a wardrobe for several years. I plugged it in this morning and it does work.

Free: Single Bed (Without the Mattress) (Penwortham PR1) Gifted Single bed frame without a mattress. Assembles very easily and would probably go in most cars.

Free: Long Set of Christmas Lights (Penwortham PR1) Gifted We are giving these away because they are very long and prone to getting tangled when stored.

Free: Vintage Print and Frame (CO13) Expired This picture needs a bit of attention. Measures approximately 90cm by 75. It can collected from Frinton-on-Sea. It could be a painting? It is in an old frame which needs some attention.

Free: Two Air Beds (Each Needs A Repair) (Penwortham PR1) Expired This weekend we went camping. As I was carrying the airbeds out to the car I caught them on the rendering. I couldn't believe that I had made a very small hole in each of them. Would anyone like to try and repair them, as I am going to through them away.

Free: 2 Folding Deck Chairs (Penwortham PR1) Gifted Perfectly functional chairs. They have been stored in my garage for years and never used so they are going.

Free: Vintage Lamp (Penwortham PR1) Expired This lamp works and has a new electrical cord. There is no shade. I replaced the very old cord so I would advise the person who takes it to check my wiring.

Free: Antique Storage Box / Footstool (Penwortham PR1) Gifted This came from my late mother's house which we have been clearing. It was re-upholstered in the 90s at great expense. It is very clean and would be suitable for a bedroom. I did try to sell it as it is quite a good quality item, not had no interest. It now needs to go.

Free: Mahogany Lamp Stand (Penwortham PR1) Gifted This lamp stand is fully wired and works. There is no lampshade. After a few years stood in a conservatory the lamp shade had deteriorated. There is some damage at the top which only became evident after the shade was removed. There is a choice - put a shade on and ignore the damage as it will be hidden under the shade or make a repair.

Free: Rotary Compost Bin (Penwortham PR1) Gifted Bought last January. Thought it was a good idea. It is partly full. If you would like it, you will need to collect it. What I don't like about it is that it leaks so really needs to be placed where the ground would benefit from the liquid fertilizer that drips out of it.

Free: Art Material (Penwortham PR1) Gifted This include art paper pads, charcoal, water colours and pencils.

Free: Christmas Decorations (Penwortham PR1) Gifted This is a collection of Christmas decorations. It includes two sets of lights all working perfectly, plus on other non-working set that can be used as spares. Over the years we seem to have accumulated far too many decorations so these are the spares.

Free: NAD Amplifier 3020A (For Spares) (Penwortham PR1) Gifted I bought this amplifier in February 1983 from the London Bridge branch of Richer Sounds. It has been in use for 40 years. It pre-dates CD players and remote controls. For the last few years it has been connected to my daughters TV. I stupidly decided that it was not wired up in the most appropriate way. I dropped it from a height of about 3 inches and the front panel broke. I always thought the amp would out live me. It still works and has a very warm sound. I have read on the internet that parts for these amps are difficult to come by. This would suit someone who is willing to hunt down a new front panel or needs the parts to repair a similar amplifier.
