Request: Slide viewer (IP4) Expired We've just found a bunch of old slides (photographs) in the loft but have no way to view them. Does anyone have a slide viewer they no longer need?

Request: Large plain cardboard boxes or sheets (IP4) Received I'm trying to improve my garden soil using 'no dig' methods. I want to put a layer of cardboard down before anything else.

TV boxes, furniture, even moving boxes that are no good for holding anything. They'd all be great. Thank you.
