Request: Ladder - can be old with missing rung(s) - for tree (Wolverton MK12) We have a large tree, which I need to get up periodically, to prune. There is an ideal spot in the tree to fix half a ladder (maybe six or seven rungs) so I can proceed up further once I get off the top of my step-ladder. A wooden ladder will probably look most natural in a tree, but can consider metal. If you have a longer ladder, that is also a possibility. Thanks for reading

Request: Long-handled saw / pruner for pruning large tree (Stony Stratford MK11) We've inherited a huge tree when we moved house ... and we wonder if anyone has one of those very long-handled devices for pruning tall trees, sitting in their shed .. but ready for a new home.

Free: Huge mirror. Silvering is still good. Been outside for years (Wolverton MK12) This has a frame which was once on rollers as a wardrobe door. I would not think it is suitable for indoor use, because the frame shows signs of age. The mirror itself seems to be in fairly good condition: can't see places where silvering on back is compromised. We got this to improve the view out of the window, so you saw green instead of brick wall. Dimensions in mm: max 2230 x 925 .

Free: Mirror. Silvering still good. Huge. Been outside for years (Fullers Slade MK11) Expired Dimensions in mm: max 2230 x 925 . This has a frame which was once on rollers as a wardrobe door. I would not think it is suitable for indoor use, because the frame shows signs of age.

Request: Narrow-wheeled Bicycle, for getting to work (Wolverton MK12) Withdrawn I've used a narrow-wheeled (used to be called a Sports Bike - with drop handlebars) bike since I was a teenager ... now in my 60's. The current bike is past its sell-by date and various bits are thoroughly worn out - most notably the bearings, the chain and block system, and the wheels and tyres (28"x1.3/8"). Alternatively a bike of this sort for spares-or-repair might make it possible to make one working bike out of two. The current one makes very 'I'm almost dead' noises and the wheels wobble something terrible and the chain falls off periodically [all despite intelligent care and lubrication]. Many thanks for reading.

65d

Request: books and Bibles (Wolverton MK12) Expired We are great lovers of books and readers of books, any sort, but especially Christian books and Bibles. Many Thanks.
