Free: Throw for double bed (Castle Ward Lancaster LA1) Expired This is a 100% cotton reversible throw in a white and duck egg blue knitted type of fabric. Please note that it would not be suitable in a home with pets as their claws would get caught in the threads which are easily picked - see photos. For the same reason it wouldn't work as a throw over a settee - I found that the buckles/ velcro on sandals also pulled the threads when I tried that. It would benefit from a wash as there is a mark on it which I couldn't fully remove by singing. I can't wash it as I have no where suitable to dry it.

Free: Epson printer - not working (Castle Ward Lancaster LA1) Expired Someone techy might be able to get it working. It's an Epson XP-247 3-in-1 printer scanner copier which was given to me second hand about five years ago. There was no installation CD but I was able to download the necessary drivers from the internet. Recently it began to leave blank lines when printing draft quality which was not resolved by cleaning the heads. High quality printing was fine. But then the black ink ran out and after I changed it the printer only printed the colours, not the black. I thought the new cartridge must be faulty so I tried another one. This time it wouldn't even acknowledge that the new cartridge was even there. I have been using the same brand of non-Epson cartridges for 5 years but maybe Epson have tightened up on people using non-branded ones. So I've decided it's time to get a new printer. I'm hoping that someone might be able to make use of this one even if it's only for 'spares and repairs'

Free: Decorative dress trim (Castle Ward Lancaster) Gifted This light turquoise/ duck egg blue decorative trim came off an item that I've been giving a Sewing Bee style transformation.

The two pieces which came from the short sleeves are about 44cm/ 17 inches long and one from the hem is about 142cm/ 56 inches long.
