Free: Shower tray (Horwich BL6) White quadrant shower base tray. Measures 1000 x 800 x 80mm. In very good condition but the existing sealant will need to be removed. You can see the waste connection and the legs. The legs can be removed if the waste can fit between your joists. The 80mm depth is just the tray without waste/feet. I'd like it to go over this weekend. I'll need help to get it downstairs and into your vehicle. If you want it please say when you will collect.

It's all in good condition. I've put it in the garage and I'd like it collected asap. If you are interested and able to collect please send me details.

Free: Fluorescent Tubes (Horwich BL6) Expired I've taken down 2 lights in the garage. The newer one is about 6' (c180cm) long by 2.5" (6cm) wide and has a Philips tube. The older one is about 8' (c240cm) long by 2.5" (6cm) wide and also has a tube. The photos show the main technical info. They were both working but I've replaced with LEDs while making changes to the garage. If anyone wants one or both please let me know, as otherwise the tip beckons. The tubes are fairly fragile for taking away.

Free: Glass panes (Horwich BL6) Expired I have 3 identical panes of glass, all marked BS6206 AT KM 7058. The AT means it’s tempered/safety glass. The panes all have rounded edges. They are 18” (almost 46cm) by 11and 3/8” (almost 29cm) and I’d say about 1/8” thick. Does anyone have a use for them, maybe as part of a set-up where you put plants under glass?

Free: TP Link for pc (Horwich BL6) Gifted My wife had a pc which was away from the router and often the wifi dropped out. This little device is inserted into the back of the pc. You need to open the case to fit it. There's an instruction booklet and a CD disk but you can also set it up online. We don't need it now. If you are interested please let me know.

Free: Swan Heater (Horwich BL6) Gifted They are described as white but are a bit greyish. Originally used to heat an outdoor office and as emergency backup it's been unused in the garage for a while so needs cleaning. They are oil filled but run on electricity. On wheels so easy to move and not very heavy. It worked well, heating quickly and economically. Of course, that was before the big rise in energy costs. The approx sizes are 63cm high x 43cm wide x 27cm deep at wheels.

Free: Tub of Easyjoint (Horwich BL6) Gifted Mushroom coloured jointing compound/grout. Says 12.5k on side. How much it will cover depends on the size of your spaces between flagstones. You wet the area and then brush it in. It's been spare for a long time but never been opened so should still be ok to use if you have a bit of path/patio pointing to do.

Free: Shiatsu Massaging Chair by Homedics (Horwich BL6) Gifted Fits most ordinary chairs. Cable with transformer goes into wall socket. Hand controller also wired in allows choice of upper back, lower back or both. It's been in the garage a long time. I've cleaned it up but it'll need more. I've tested it and it works. Have back problems? Get in touch with when you collect it.

Free: Microsoft Office Professional 2007 (Horwich BL6) Expired Back in 2010 our family bought 3 copies of Microsoft Office Professional 2007. They come in a plastic box with 2 CDs and instructions. Until very recently we were running them for MS Word, Outlook, Excel, Powerpoint etc as shown in photo, so you should still be able to use them. Each has the license key info attached. I've consulted MS Copilot (AI) as I wasn't sure if they could be given to someone else. It says " If your copies of Microsoft Office Professional 2007 were retail versions (not OEM or volume licenses), then the license terms typically allowed for a one-time transfer to another person. That means you can sell or give them away, provided you: - Uninstall the software from all devices where it was previously used. - Include all original materials — the CDs, packaging, and the product key. - Inform the recipient that activation might require using Microsoft’s phone activation system, especially if the key has been used multiple times over the years. The key phrase from the license is that “the first user of the software may make a one-time transfer of the software, and this agreement, directly to a third party”." Everything has been uninstalled and factory reset ready for your use. All the original materials are included. The product keys were only used a couple of times but as well as being able to run the CDs you might have to activate by phone. I know this is old tech but it still works so if you are ok with legacy systems you are welcome to them. You will also be taking a risk that Microsoft will honour the transfer of ownership as indicated by Copilot. If they need any corroberation from me I'll assist. Please say if you want more than one copy and why.

Free: Mini iPad (Horwich BL6) Gifted 1st generation Apple Mini iPad model A1432, silver casing with black around the 7.9" screen 16GB. The iPad including screen are in very good condition. The purple cover bought separately has done its job and is pretty worn. The Apple connector to USB connector is there too. I've done a factory reset so you can set it up again from scratch. Apple no longer support these models for security updates so you need to be careful how you use it but it could be useful for a youngster and/or used as a sort of Kindle for reading downloaded books etc.

Free: White Porcelain Tiles (Horwich BL6) Expired I've got 7 white porcelain tiles 400 x 250mm. 5 seem perfect. The other 2 are in the photo. You can see that one has lost a corner and the other has a small chip. Depending on the job, that 2 damaged ones can be cut so you can still use most of them. They are old spares that are no longer needed. Please say when you can collect.

Free: TP Link wifi extender (Horwich BL6) Gifted In the past I used this to get wifi all around the house. There are newer technologies now but this should still work and comes with instruction book, CD disk (but you can also set-up online) and relevant cables. If it's of any use to you then please let me know.

Free: Unreal and Daikatana pc games (Horwich BL6) Gifted There is Unreal and Unreal-The Return to Na Pali, along with a booklet for Unreal. There's also John Romero's Daikatana with booklet. These are original disks from about 2000 and will not run on a 64-bit version of Windows. However, if you know your way around vintage games then they might be of interest. Please let me know if you want them.

Free: Keyboard and mouse (Horwich BL6) Gifted This is a new Acer keyboard and mouse with wifi USB and batteries included. It is new. It came with an upgraded computer but I prefer my old keyboard and mouse so it's just been in a cupboard. If you need this set please let me know.

Free: Netgear wifi extender (Horwich BL6) Gifted This extender is plugged into an electric socket between the router and the equipment that needs a wifi boost. I've included some ethernet cable but it shouldn't be needed as you'll probably connect with wifi. The technology is moving on from this but depending on your set-up, house size, walls etc it might be useful. Please let me know if you are interested.

Free: Sound system for a computer (Horwich BL6) Gifted Hercules sound system with subwoofer which includes a hand control and two speakers. All cables included. If the sound from your pc (or other device) isn't as good as you need it to be then this might help. Please tell me if you are interested.

Free: Blank CDs/DVDs (Horwich BL6) Gifted Standard CR-R disks, over 80, that can be written on once but cannot be erased or overwritten. Also, 4 or 5 DVD-R and 5 DVD+R disks. Again they can be recorded on but not erased or rewritten. They've been in a cupboard a long time but seem perfectly usable. I know there's less call for them nowadays but please let me know if you want them.

Free: Outdoor wooden two seater garden swing seat (Horwich BL6) Gifted The maximum frame measures about 198cm/78" wide, 140cm/55" deep and 158cm/62" high. The seat back is 160cm/63" wide by 81cm/32" high and the seat is the same width and 60cm/24" deep. The frame can be unbolted in several places to make it easier to transport. The longest timber is 172cm/67.5". The seat can also be unbolted but it might go into a larger van as it is. Overall the condition is not bad after many years of use. It's had a coat of protector every year. However, the back two legs have rotted a bit as shown. They could be spliced or maybe you'd get away with reducing the height but the front legs are ok. There's no canopy or cover or cushion to go with it. I don't want to dismantle it until I'm sure it will be collected. It might be easier if we did it together then you'll have a better idea of how to reassemble. I'm open to discussion. It should be in a family home with kids and with a little tlc it could last several more years.

Free: hp 301 ink cartridges (Horwich BL6) Gifted There's one black and one tricolour cartridge both still wrapped and in a box that originally had two blacks and one tricolour. One black has been used. They are several years old but I cannot see any 'use by' date and they should still be in useable condition. I no longer have a HP printer and have just come across them when clearing a desk so if they are of any use to you, please let me know and say when you could pick them up.

Free: Car Cover (Horwich BL6) Gifted Mirage car cover x x large. It has been used and worked. The case it comes in has seen better days but is handy for storing it for the rest of the year. If your car has to sit out in winter then this cover might be for you. Please say why you want it and when you could collect.

337d

Free: Garage Floor Paint (Horwich BL6) Gifted Unopened 5L tin of Ronseal Garage Floor Paint. It's been around for about 3 to 4 years but should still be perfectly good to use. Please say what it's for and when you could collect.

345d

Free: Exercise Ball (Horwich BL6) Gifted Blue Fitball which blows up to 65cm max diameter. It's a bit on the soft side at the moment so you'll probably need to blow it up a bit. Originally bought to help with knee problems. Also useful for pelvic floor exercises as well as many others and liked by the kids when they visit as something to play with! please say a bit about why you want it and when you could collect.

345d

Free: Garden Parasol (Horwich BL6) Gifted 2.5m Lazy Susan parasol. You need a table with a hole for the pole to go through and you'll need a heavy base for it to fit into as I don't have a spare one. Our parasol, shown in the photo in place in the table, is a replacement because a small fault developed in the original one which is shown in both photos lying on a chair. Lazy Susan is happy for someone to take the damaged one. The umbrella winds up as normal. It winds down about half way and sticks but if you give it a tug with your hand it comes down fully. If you can put up with that and are able to set it up then it should last for a few years anyway.

Free: Plant pots (Horwich BL6) Expired Any gardeners out there who need more plastic plant pots? You can see there's a variety of sizes and shapes as well as some crocs.

Free: Squash racket (Horwich BL6) Gifted This is The Lady Slazenger racket. It's in good condition but being wooden framed is something of an antique. My wife used to play with it a lot. As well as a woman it would suit a youngster starting out. There's no point in paying for a modern piece of equipment only to find they go off the game quickly. Any takers?

Free: Badminton rackets (Horwich BL6) Gifted Three rackets - a Yoneyama, a Carlton and a Classic. They are all old, metal rather than carbon fibre, so not what serious players will want but if you are a beginner who wants to see if you enjoy the game or even just want to mess around in the garden, then they could be useful. They are all in good condition and two have covers.

Free: Parasol and base (Horwich BL6) Gifted If the sun ever shines again around here then you might fancy a sun umbrella to keep you shaded. It's 2.7m tall and designed to go through a hole in your outdoor table and into the base. Luckily part of the tube comes off (shown in front of the parasol in the photo) so it should fit into most cars. The material might have been greenish originally but is more of a grey now but it does the job and the mechanism works well. Please say when you could collect.
