Roof tiles for a wood store (Shirley CR0)
Received
Hi all, I'm planning to tile a small wood store I've been building. The area is around 1.5sqm. Does anyone have any old or unused and unneeded tiles going spare, please? I'll need around 80 of the plain tiles, or more like 30 of the larger concrete ones. I'm not worried if they're discoloured, as long as they aren't broken! Thank you very much.

Lumie Sunrise SAD lamp alarm (Shirley CR0)
Withdrawn
Working, but the micro USB connection at the back is loose. The metal socket housing it has detached from the light unit. This means the power connection very easily falls out, and the clock resets. It could probably be repaired or made more stable, but I find it too annoying to use! Collect from near Millers Pond in Shirley

Green water butt, slow leak (Shirley CR0)
Gifted
From Wickes I think. Sturdy construction, comes with plastic tap and lid. Last winter this developed a slow leak just under the tap. I managed to fix it temporarily with Plumbers Mait putty, but now replacing with something larger. Collect from near Millers Pond in Shirley.

Glass pane (Shirley CR0)
Received
We have a craft project afoot that needs some glass to squash down cyanotype paper. A3 or larger if possible please. I can collect and clean as long as it isn't covered in anything permanently marking. Large clip frames are good too. Many thanks!

Wooden frame garden slide (Shirley CR0)
Gifted
Well used but still very sturdy. Frame easily supports an adult (I use it as a stepladder sometimes). Haven't tested the slide itself but it has been used by several 10+ year olds. Roughly 1m high. Easy enough to disassemble if you need to for transportation. The slide attached with two bolts and the frame is held with wood screws.

Cordless hair trimmer clippers (Shirley CR0)
Withdrawn
HTC brand. Was working well but the battery capacity got so poor it didn't last more than a minute between charges. I've lost the charging base but still have most of the attachments. If you can work out how to replace the battery and find a compatible charger, it cuts well.

Chest of drawers with shelving (Shirley CR0)
Gifted
This was a regular 4 + 4 chest of drawers. The wide drawers broke, so I have repurposed it. It now has 4 narrow drawers and a large shelving area. The middle shelf is made from the original drawer fronts. Solid pine construction. It has scratches and scuffs but is sturdy. All the drawers open and close fine. 120cm W x 40cm D x 80cm H. Save it before I pull it apart for scrap?! Collection from near Millers Pond, Shirley. I'm happy to leave it in the front garden so any time is ok, but please give me an idea. Thank you!

Bestway Flowclear 530 pump (Shirley CR0)
Withdrawn
Working. The air release valve at the top has snapped, so I plugged the hole with Plumber's Mait. That works fine, though granted it looks unappealing with the bits of grass stuck to it! Used to filter our large paddling pool. The tube diameter matches Bestway and Intex products. You will need 2 plastic tubes and a replacement filter cartridge. Collection from near Millers Pond in Shirley.

Hi all, we are SO CLOSE but just ran out of pavers when making a small greenhouse base. 6 of the standard (brick shaped) blocks will see us home and dry! Can anyone help please? Preferably local as I'd love to set them in place today! Many thanks!!

Large wheelie bin wormery (Shirley CR0)
Gifted
I repurposed a spare wheelie bin a few years ago for us as a wormery. It has worked well for making compost and has a huge capacity, but some design flaws - the tap is very easily blocked (so I added extra holes for drainage out the sides) and it's difficult to extract the compost through that small porthole. Still, as photos show, it works well! And is very fox and rat-proof. The porthole window screws in and out. I'll be emptying it this week. Does anyone want to try my DIY solution? Collect from near Millers Pond in Shirley. It's heavy (about as heavy as a wheelie bin with some extra pieces inside)

Strips of muddy artificial grass (Shirley CR0)
Expired
All have been on our allotment for a few years and have some soil, weeds and insects. Longest strip is around 2.5m x 80cm (guesswork!). Two smaller muddier sections are around 1x1m each. Quite heavy. Collect from near Millers Pond in Shirley.

6ft x 6ft metal greenhouse (Shirley CR0)
Gifted
Aluminium frame greenhouse with a mixture of perspex and horticultural glass panes, with glass mostly in the lower half to weigh it down. As you can see from the photos, a few panes are missing in the roof. They are readily available and quite cheap. All panes would benefit from a good clean. The frame is sturdy, the roof window opens ok but the main door is quite difficult to open and close - it doesn't roll smoothly. We are about to order a new one. This will be made available around the time the new one is delivered, so please expect to wait a few weeks, I estimate from the second half of March onwards. I'd appreciate help dismantling it and carrying through the house (and it will help you to see the process). Contents are not included, but if I find spare bolts or glass clips you can have those. We are near Millers Pond in Shirley.

Powerline network adaptors (Shirley CR0)
Expired
These were paired and working fine for several years, but then something went wrong and they won't pair any more. At least one of them is working! Possibly both, but you'll need to test that. Collect from near Millers Pond in Shirley.

Double electric blanket (Shirley CR0)
Gifted
Working and in nice condition but we find the heat control isn't very good. One side gets too warm, the other not warm enough. Fits a double bed with elasticated curtain. Two plugs for dual control. You can control body and feet separately and it has a timer. Collect from near Millers Pond in Shirley.

Titan wet n dry vac needs repair (Shirley CR0)
Gifted
Only 2-3 years old, used for sawdust extraction. It was very powerful and effective. The motor started making a fluttering sound then lost power. After that it no longer turns on. Physically good condition. Comes with whatever attachments I can find. Does anyone want to try resurrecting it?

Child's armchair upholstered (Shirley CR0)

Partially working accordion (Shirley CR0)
Gifted
We've had this for years and it has always been faulty. Makes a sound and most of the keys work, but some of the buttons are sticking. Does play, though. I can't tell you much more because none of us know how to play it! Looks the part, though - a good prop?! Collect from near Millers Pond in Shirley.
