Free: Old wooden wallpapering table (Appleby-in-Westmorland CA16) Its been cleaned, things a little rusty but, apart from slight wobbling, its very useful. Old style, not hardboard. I used it for cutting out fabric.

Free: Lloyd loom laundry basket. Rare round. (Appleby-in-Westmorland CA16) I recieved this from a freegler so only right it should go back on. It needs layers of gloss paint removing and time has got the better of me. With deep regret, I have to let this go. PLEASE say why you'd like it.

Free: Fully functional worm bin (Appleby-in-Westmorland CA16) Gifted Is quite a few yrs old. Tap leaks but I just put a bucket underneath. I've cleared it but not cleaned, you'll need a tarpaulin or something to protect car boot. Served me well for about 6 yrs now, but with 4 compost bins it takes up space. Keep out of direct sun, in very hot weather it will kill the worms.

Request: Perfectly functional electric cooker. (Appleby-in-Westmorland CA16) Withdrawn My lower, larger oven has just gone. Element given up i suppose. So posting this in the hope someone is getting a new kitchen with appliances and has a perfectly clean and not too old free standing cooker, about 60cm wide, that is now redundant. Please could you send photos if you have. Really appreciate any help. Thank you

At the moment we collect water in a series of buckets and would be nice to get a proper system going.

Free: Thick fire retardant lining fabric (Appleby-in-Westmorland CA16) Gifted Bought this about 10 yrs ago. Just found it and it has started to turn brown? There is practically a whole roll, 135cm wide. It's now no use for curtain lining but perhaps someone can think of a use. Brushed cotton on one side, plain on the other. I don't know how many metres but i think (could be wrong) it was originally 30.

Request: Cot, or travel cot, must be good condition (Appleby-in-Westmorland CA16) Expired For the odd family member who visits with baby. I'd appreciate one in simplest form that can be dismantled and put back up quickly and that it is ultra clean for obvious reasons.

Request: Workshop vice, polishing wheel, hand held planer etc, etc. (Appleby-in-Westmorland CA16) Expired Have really got into woodwork and the more i attempt the more i realise i need quite specific tools. If anyone has any redundant but servicable workshop tools, please let me know. As a newly retired woman most items are beyond my state pension to buy new. Cannot take anything huge as space limited. Wish list includes router, metal polisher and benchtop tiltable jigsaw but will consider anything. A vice is top of list. I restore, repurpose and recycle but would like to branch out more into redesigning.

1y

Request: Travel cot with mattress. (Appleby-in-Westmorland CA16) Expired Urgently require travel cot but especially one with a mattress. Have daughter visiting who borrowed a travel cot but unpacking it realised it has no mattress. Would like to keep it here for future visits as travel cots take up so much room in a car. Thank you in advance. X

Free: 2 x cupboards, book shelves. (Appleby-in-Westmorland CA16) Gifted Both have 2 shelves. One has a door too. Got from freegle 2 or 3 yrs ago so placing back on. They must go before friday so first person to reply who can collect first will get them. 95cm high 40.5 cm deep 48cm wide. Heavy! No idea what make but seem good quality, at a guess I'd say habitat but could be wrong. Used as bookshelves here. Beech laminate and door is a teal colour. Can collect any time within reason and prearranged.
