Request:
Old, working mobile phone (Kendal LA9)
Received
Hello all. Would anyone happen to have an old mobile phone, please, that they haven't got around to disposing of and isn't worth selling? Ideally unlocked (as regards mobile network) or - even better! - EE network? It doesn't need to be "smart", as long as it can do texts and calls. Thank you very much for any rummaging!

Dumpy bag (Kendal LA9)

Twinings "dark mint" tea (Kendal LA9)
Gifted
Only half a dozen used out of a box of 40. Best before Jan 2023 but still has masses of minty flavour. I personally don't enjoy the black tea base... but could it be "just your cup of tea"? :)

Request:
Large-ish pan lid (Kendal LA9)
Expired
Hello folks, Does anyone have a large pan lid that's surplus to requirements, please? I could do with one for a pan with diameter 11 inches /28cm, so anything that size or a bit bigger would be great. Things take forever to cook in said pan at the moment, as I can't keep the steam in. Thanks in advance for looking! Jenny

Compost bin, no base or lid (Kendal LA9)
Gifted
As shown, black plastic cylinder that must have been a compost bin once upon a time, but is incomplete. It has a door panel at the bottom, so should function fine in the right spot with a couple of additions to serve as a base and lid!

Black crate with round holes in (Kendal LA9)
Expired
Hi all... I don't know what this item is for (as it appeared on our recycling shelves for the pixies to dispose of) but would anyone like it? It's very sturdy plastic, 20 inches long x 16 wide x 15 deep. Not watertight at present, as one of the round holes is at the bottom. Kinda curious to know what it is!

Mini-USB to USB-A lead (Kendal LA9)
Received
I've recently been using a brilliant (quite old) teeny speaker, and it'll need charging soon, but I realise I don't have any leads that fit it! It takes a Mini-USB lead (the kind that would fit the socket in the photo). Does anyone have such a lead they no longer need, please, ideally with a "normal" USB-A on the other end (the type that fits into a mains plug head to stick in the wall socket)? Thank you very much if so!

Humidity and temperature loggers (Kendal LA9)
Gifted
Two available... These are to place in an environment whose relative humidity and temperature pattern you want to monitor. For example, a room with damp or that is hard to heat, or if you're dying to know how much extra moisture goes into the air when you hang washing up :) They record data over hours, days, weeks, and then you plug them into a computer USB slot to generate graphs from them. Instructions provided. N.B. Only one of the two has a battery, and it's an unusual battery so you'd probably need to order one for the second logger.

Sleeve for gel pack (Kendal LA9)
Expired
Fleecy sleeve for the kind of gel pack you might freeze or warm to press against a mild injury. For gel pack measuring about 18cm x 12cm.

Lino offcut (Kendal LA9)
Expired
Looking for a bit of lino that may be surplus to someone's requirements! 2.5ish by 1.5ish metres if possible, in an earthy light brown sort of colour but open to suggestions on that :) Thank you!

Request:
"Natural" shampoos (Kendal LA9)
Expired
Does anyone have any sulphate-free / silicon-free / plant-based shampoos that they've perhaps tried and didn't get on with for whatever reason? E.g. non-lathering types, solid bar types? If so I'd love to know what your experience was, and maybe take off your hands any you have left that you're unlikely to use! Thanks in advance, Jenny

Sink plumbing bits (plastic) (Kendal LA9)

Bicycle saddle bag (Kendal LA9)
Received
Hi all... By any chance, does anyone have an unwanted saddle bag that fits under the rear of a bicycle seat, please? Just a small thing that attaches to the saddle and seatpost, to hold a few tools and a spare inner tube during a bike ride. I can collect, of course... Thank you in advance for any offers :)

Pile of newspapers (Kendal LA9)

Request:
"Half AA" battery, or ideally two (Kendal LA9)
Expired
I'm looking for two (working) batteries like the blue one in the picture, please. It's exactly the width of a standard AA clock battery, but only half the length. The one in the pic is depleted, as far as I can tell, but its number is SB-AA02 (3.6V). They seem to come in packs of 10, but are so unusual that I doubt I'd ever need that many! Does anyone have one (or two) spare, please?

Telescopic mop (I think) (Kendal LA9)
Gifted
Mop-esque utensil with a wiping end made of foam. Not super clean at the moment, but a dunk in a mop bucket of hot soapy water will take care of that. Mop handle is extendable.
