Request: Glass/Acrylic sheet approx 650mm square (Ashton-U-Lyne OL6) I'm hoping for 2 clear pieces actual size is 650mm by 530mm. I can cut from a larger piece usually! I currently have 2mm acrylic which is too flimsy (it is for secondary glazing) so glass is preferable or 3 to 4mm acrylic. A larger double glazed unit even if misty would be OK. Thank you (it often takes me a while to reply)

Free: Digital Camera (Ashton-U-Lyne OL6) Gifted Casio 10 Mpixels with USB lead. It is quite good, takes nice pictures and has lots of settings to play with. Just not used as phone cameras are more convenient. The battery had run down when I checked, it has held a charge for a week, but this might be a sign of its age. The internal Lion battery is removable and comes with charger.

Request: One wheel from wheely bin (Ashton-U-Lyne OL6) Expired I just need this to fix our black bin. One wheel to replace the one which has snapped off. It might need the axle too as the bin-men said they don't come off easily. Thanks

Free: Walking Boots (Ashton-U-Lyne OL6) Gifted Size 9 1/2 Wide fitting Clarks leather with Goretex lining. They seem good quality with good soles, fine for muddy walks or gardening. They are old but I didn't use them much as my feet grew to size 11 somehow.

Free: Single mattress (Ashton-U-Lyne OL6) Gifted 3ft by 6ft 3 inch has fire resistant label. Although well used it looks as if it is good quality and would be good for more use!

Free: Push lawn mower (Ashton-U-Lyne OL6) Expired This is old and has some damage but was well made and seems to be still functional. There is a front mounted grass box, and it is surprisingly heavy especially with the grass box on. It is not very good for long grass or uneven surfaces which is what my garden has become! It is really only suitable for a small flat lawn, and dry storage like a nearby shed would be advisable. The corrosion shown on the photo near the roller attachment point (top) was caused when it got left in a leaky shed about 5 years ago.

Free: 4 litres fence paint (Ashton-U-Lyne OL6) Gifted Water based fence paint - note only about 4 litres in the smaller bottle, so only good for a small project. The bit of wood has one coat so you can see the colour, called Forest Green. It claims to cover 6 square metres per litre but I found it needed more and 2 or even 3 coats. The upside down pic is for the label!

Free: Slats for Futon Bed (Ashton-U-Lyne OL6) Gifted 13 of these to use on a futon style bed base in pale wood. They seem to be for a 900mm wide bed. You can have as many or few as you want.

Free: Log Fire Basket (Ashton-U-Lyne OL6) Gifted About 400 x 300 mm for burning logs in an open fire. The rust will fall off when it heats up but the main flaw is a crack in the cast metal. It has been like this for many years and should last many more. We are not using an open fire any more so it is going!
