Request: BT Decor phone (receiver) (BR4 - West Wickham south side) It's a long shot, but ... We think our landline phone receiver is broken - we can't hear any callers unless we put speakerphone on - so in the interests of not junking an otherwise good phone I wondered if anyone else had a functioning spare BT Decor phone receiver that needs rehoming. If so, we'd appreciate a photo first so we can be sure the receiver will fit properly on the cradle. Many thanks.

Free: Elongated octagonal floor tiles (BR4 - West Wickham south side) Gifted (Photo shows tiles as laid, to give an idea of possibilities - no, I don't have the small square ones as well). 16 or so white ceramic tiles going spare. They've been sitting in the garage for years, and some may be pretty filthy, but should clean up all right. Approx. maximum length x width 33 cm x 21 cm (13" x 8.25").

Free: Small ceramic dishes (ramekin size) (BR4 - West Wickham south side) Gifted Reposting due to non-collection. Three yellow ceramic dishes, about 3 inches across - the sort of thing posh desserts are sold in in the supermarket. Two have tight-fitting plastic lids - and claim to be microwave/dishwasher/freezer/oven-safe, so it seems a shame to throw them away if someone can use them.

Free: Seamless 1 lb loaf tin (BR4 - West Wickham south side) Gifted Reposting due to non-collection. A very sturdy one-pound loaf tin, getting a bit discoloured/corroded, but if you're happy to line it it will still be usable.

Free: Packing boxes (BR4 - West Wickham south side) Expired As the last person changed their mind, I have a number of (assembled) packing boxes, varying sizes, to get rid of, including some smaller boxes suitable for books or other heavier items.

Free: Shredded paper (BR4 - West Wickham south side) Expired This isn't available yet, but I will shortly be doing a lot of paper shredding - long strips about 0.5 cm wide - and wondered if anyone would have a use for it. The paper is laser-printed, so not suitable for pets, but maybe someone can use it for packing fragile items in boxes, items for posting or something?

Free: Soap recycler (BR4 - West Wickham south side) Gifted Put your old odds and ends of soap in this device, add water, and squeeze them together to form a new bar of soap

Free: Pair of floor-length white drapes (BR4 - West Wickham south side) Expired Thicker than voiles, but not as thick as curtains, so let some light through but should protect against strong light. With matching tiebacks. Approximate length: 215 cm/84"; approximate width: 255 cm/100", so probably work out (each) at maybe 100-125 cm wide once gathered. With 3" header tape.

Free: Salter kitchen scales - pan broken (BR4 - West Wickham south side) Gifted Orange kitchen scales, weighing up to 6 lb plus/3 kg. The scales work fine, but the pan is badly cracked in several places and unsuitable for food use, although I'm including it just in case you have access to a 3D printer and can print a replacement.

Free: Own-brand copy HP35A toner cartr (BR4 - West Wickham south side) Expired I was persuaded to buy a Cartridge People own-brand version of the Hewlett Packard 35a laserjet toner cartridge, but it didn't fit comfortably in my HP P1005 printer. They suggested I send it for recycling, but I thought I'd see first whether anyone else wanted to give it a try. PLEASE NOTE: Although the Cartridge People have a policy of compensating you for any damage caused to your printer by their own-brand cartridges, this only applies to the original purchaser, so you WILL NOT be covered by it.

Free: Own-brand HP300 inkjet cartridges (Shirley borders) Expired I bought a pack of two Wilko "remanufactured" HP300 inkjet cartridges, one black, one colour, but my printer doesn't get on with them, so I thought I'd see if anyone wanted to try them. Hewlett Packard claim that they replace HP 703 and 901 as well. According to Wilko, they should fit various HP DeskJet, Photosmart and Envy e-AIO printers (see photo for model numbers).

Free: Double clothes rail - BR4 (BR4 - West Wickham south side) Gifted Grey plastic and metal. It's PROBABLY this one: One of the bottom crossbars is slightly kinked where I trod on it, which means it may come out if the rail is moved.

Free: Hoover bags (BR4 - West Wickham south side) Gifted Bought a new pack of Hoover bags for an upright Hoover shortly before we moved house, but the Hoover got broken during the move, so I have 4 Hoover bags which I can no longer use. See photo for the model names which they fit.
