Free: Lucet (Torrisholme LA4) Gifted Plastic lucet - like French knitting but with 2 prongs not 4. Used for making cords/braids of any length you desire! No instruction leaflet but there are loads of tutorial videos on YouTube.

Free: Rubber stamp set (Torrisholme LA4) Promised Never been used, great for the holidays!

2d

Free: Teddy bear photo holder (Torrisholme LA4) Cute little bear photo holder. Stands up on its own.

2d

Free: Kids jewellery (Torrisholme LA4) Promised Random selection of some bright, kiddie bits and bobs that my daughter no longer wants. Mostly loom band bracelets (some better made than others!) plus a few other bits.

2d

Free: 3 pairs xs leggings (Torrisholme LA4) 3 pairs of Primark black leggings in ladies size extra small or 6/8. Daughter has outgrown them but there’s still some decent wear in them, they’re just a bit faded.

3d

Free: Hair accessories (Torrisholme LA4) Gifted Collection of hair accessories: scrunchies, large hair-slide bow, clips and ‘telephone wire’ bobbles. Ideally to go in a bundle but happy to split if anyone just wants some stuff. All in good condition and clean!

8d

Free: Hello Kitty twist up crayons (Torrisholme LA4) Gifted Super cute, just not quite up to A Level art standards! Plenty of crayon left :)

8d

Free: Pencil cases (Torrisholme LA4) Gifted One switchable sequins dark blue/gold and one Slytherin (Harry Potter) design. Both in good condition. Please say which you would like when replying :)

8d

Request: Mesh back rest for chair (Torrisholme LA4) I used to have one of these but foolishly freegled it when I was having a declutter and now find myself in need of it again! 😩 Wondering if anyone has an unused backrest lying around that I could re home please?

27d

Free: Nikwax wax cotton proof spray (Torrisholme LA4) Gifted Just discovered when tidying under the sink, its best-before is July 2021 and I no longer have the coat...! Not sure if it will be ok still but you’re welcome to give it a go :)

87d

Request: Acoustic guitar (Torrisholme LA4) Received A bit of a long-shot perhaps, but I was wondering if anyone has an acoustic guitar gathering dust and looking for a new home? My 14 year-old has decided that she wants to learn to play guitar and it’s either going to be a big hit or she’ll get bored of it really quickly.... Obviously I’m hoping for long term enthusiasm but teenagers are fickle creatures so I’m very reluctant to spend much money until I know whether she will enjoy it! Happy to collect and to replace strings if needed but I don’t think I’m up to major repairs..

103d

Free: Single duvet - pet bedding? (Torrisholme LA4) Expired Single synthetic duvet which has unfortunately gone lumpy from washing. No stains, it’s just not very comfy and warm any more but I wondered if it might be suitable for pet bedding perhaps?

151d

Request: Indoor medium sized pet cage (Torrisholme LA4) Expired Sadly, we now only have 1 ferret left after his remaining brother passed away yesterday :( With winter setting in, he’s going to be too cold outside in the hutch overnight on his own, so I’m hoping to find an indoor pet cage for him. He’s very elderly (though still sprightly!) so I’m reluctant to buy cage that may not get much use....

197d

Request: Small flexible tent poles/worn-out small tent (Torrisholme LA4) Received Wondering if anyone has unwanted poles from a small dome tent - maybe the fabric is wrecked but the poles are fine? I have a really handy tent-organiser that uses 2 small flexible poles and looks like a mini tent, but sadly one of the poles broke when we were away last week. I was hoping to try and fix it with some pieces of tent pole, rather than throwing the whole thing away. I’m happy to collect

297d

Free: Disney Frozen beach towel (Torrisholme LA4) Gifted Large but quite thin beach towel - it’s always been better for lying/sitting on than getting dry!

305d

Free: Disney Frozen umbrella (Torrisholme LA4) Gifted Child sized umbrella, overall decent condition still, couple of tiny holes where the fabric joins the arms (pictured) and a bit of scuffing on the end where it’s been used as a walking stick but still keeps the rain of.

Free: 3.5 litre crockpot base and lid (Torrisholme LA4) Gifted Crockpot slow cooker base and lid only - no pot. The pot broke but the base and lid are still fine - thought I’d offer on here before binning them in case anyone has the opposite problem! Please say in your reply why you would like this so I know that someone isn’t expecting a full slow cooker :)

Free: Girls age 11-12 knickers (Torrisholme LA4) Gifted 2 sets of girls age 11-12 M&S knickers. All thoroughly clean, some hardly worn before daughter had a growth spurt. Top left - set of 7 pairs briefs Top right - set of 5 pairs bikini briefs TAKEN - bottom left TAKEN - bottom right

326d

Free: Ladies size 8 walking boots (Torrisholme LA4) Gifted Regatta leather walking boots in ladies size 8. Plenty of tread though the uppers are looking a bit worn at the toe. My daughter has really narrow heels and found that these weren’t secure and supportive enough round her ankles. I’ve given them a quick clean with Nikwax footwear cleaner but they will benefit from a good coat of your preferred waterproofing product, especially around the toes. Plenty of wear left in them though for someone with wider heels and narrower toes than my daughter!

363d

Free: Glucosamine sulphate tablets (Torrisholme LA4) Gifted Glucosamine Sulphate 1500mg tablets - I was recommended glucosamine by a physiotherapist years ago to help with my joints. I’ve been ordering these particular tablets for years, but the latest batch are a touch bigger and I just can’t manage to swallow them. I’ve taken a photo to show the size of the tablets. If anyone would like to give these a try you’re very welcome. The pot is nearly full.

Free: Pink and silver kids bike (Torrisholme LA4) Gifted Pink and silver bike, 20" wheels - suitable for roughly 117-126 cm in height, approx 6-9 years. Has quite a few patches of rust as pictured and the back wheel catches slightly on the brake pads so could probably use a bit of adjustment but everything seems to be working OK otherwise. Please say why you would like this when replying :)

Free: Screen protector for Samsung Galaxy A5 (Torrisholme LA4) Gifted Bought a pack of 2 but didn’t use this one before daughter upgraded her phone. Happy with collection or I can pop it through your letterbox if you’re not too far away :)

1y

Free: Lilac tinted A4 lined paper (Torrisholme LA4) Gifted Nearly full pad of A4 lined paper in a pinkish lilac shade. Daughter found it wasn’t quite the right shade of purple for her. Happy for you to collect, or I can post through your letterbox if you’re not too far away from Torrisholme.

Free: Leaf green reading overlay (Torrisholme LA4) Gifted Cerium leaf green A4 reading overlay for visual stress. This was provided by my daughter’s school when they were querying if she was suffering from visual stress - she’s since had an assessment with the optometrist and has a different colour. This overlay has got a little scuffed and has a couple of scratches, but is still perfectly useable so hopefully helpful as a spare for someone who needs leaf green! I’m happy for you to collect, or I can post it through your door in a card envelope if you’re not too far away.

Request: Very small amount of tile adhesive (Torrisholme LA4) Received If anyone has a small quantity of useable tile adhesive left over, I would be very happy to take it off your hands :) I just have 3 half-tiles by my kitchen sink that need sticking back on, so I really don’t want to buy a big thing of adhesive for such a tiny area!

Request: Small camping kettle (Torrisholme LA4) Expired My daughter is going away at the weekend on camping trip and needs cooking equipment for just herself. We have everything apart from a kettle, as I just realised whilst digging out the camping stuff that my old small camping kettle had given up the ghost. Does anyone have a smallish one that’s no longer needed please? I’m happy to pick up within a reasonable distance. Thanks and fingers crossed!

1y

Free: Dehumidifier - not working (Torrisholme LA4) Gifted Has given sterling service but something in the electronics is bust. It beeps when plugged in, so it’s not the fuse, but doesn’t do anything else. Wondering if anyone who likes trying to fix stuff would like it before I take to the tip?

1y

Free: Kids’ spacehopper (Torrisholme LA4) Gifted Child-sized spacehopper, now outgrown. Great for kids who can’t sit still! It inflates with a regular air-bed pump but the batteries just died in mine when I was trying to inflate it to check.

1y

Free: Kids/ladies size 6 wellies (Torrisholme LA4) Gifted Navy blue and green, older kids or ladies size 6 (they're a narrower fit than men's). They've got a bit scuffed but still waterproof and fully functional as wellies. They're only cheap Shoe Zone ones so not the comfiest for longer walks, but do the job for shorter trips or round the garden.

Free: PC keyboard (Torrisholme LA4) Gifted Older PC keyboard with darkish grey background and black writing - has the round purple end on the wire, not USB. I recently received 2 PC keyboards from a lovely fellow Freegler, as my daughter couldn't manage with the newer black-background keyboard. She's picked the one that works best for her, so I'm re-freegling this keyboard.
