Free: TV aerial cable + adaptor (Castle Ward Lancaster LA1) Gifted This is just under 4 metres of TV aerial cable with a male connector at one end. The connector at the other end was damaged so I cut off. There is also a double female adaptor.

Free: Kitchen splash board (Castle Ward Lancaster LA1) Gifted This is Howdens current grey marble design and this piece measures 102 cm x 60 cm x 0.7 cm.

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: Stool for upcycling (Castle Ward Lancaster LA1) Expired Home-made stool which is now in need of TLC which I'm unable to give. One leg needs to be unscrewed and reglued and it's crying out for a lick of paint and reupholstery. It measures 40 cm wide x 36 cm deep x 44 cm high.

Free: Vintage Black & Decker Drill etc (Castle Ward Lancaster LA1) Gifted Vintage Black & Decker drill with attachments including sander and circular saw. They are in the original case with lots of other useful bits and pieces but one of the locking pieces of plastic has broken off the outside. I have no idea if anything works. Please explain why you want it and what you intend to do with 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'

When the door is open there is a prop which holds it out so that you can see everything. It still has the original screws which are the correct length not to poke through a solid IKEA wardrobe door.

Free: Honeycomb packing paper (Castle Ward Lancaster LA1) Gifted A huge pile of honeycomb packing paper. This is an eco friendly alternative to bubble wrap. You stretch it out and it creates cells which will protect even quite delicate items.

123d

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 washing label says the trim is 100% cotton and I would describe it as a kind of heavy weight broderie anglais rather than crochet or lace. It is approximately 9cm/ 3½ inches deep. 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.
