Request: Small whiteboard (Central Norwich NR2) Hi there, a dementia specialist has recommended a whiteboard as a way to help with daily orientation for my dad who has Alzheimer's, in case it's something anyone local to Norwich has stashed at the back of a cupboard/garage? Thanks for considering it, Davina

Free: Booster seat (NR2) Expired As seen. You slide the top bit of material over any chair, click it at the back and then the child sits on a booster cushion that's built in and has a belt harness around the legs and waist. It worked for our toddler until he was nearly 3. We had it at my parents house, instead of a highchair.

Request: World cup chart (NR2) Received Does anyone local to Norwich have a world cup wall chart that they don't want/need? My poor mum threw hers in the recycling by mistake, and she can't get hold of one anywhere - she loves filling them in :

Free: reflective jacket - needs repair (NR2) Expired I love this size 8 jacket, but I think it was a bit too small for me, becausea month ago I ripped the elbow and then the other day I ripped it under the arm. If anyone is a mean sewing person, I'm sure there's an easy way to make it useable again. Seems a shame coz retails at £50 online, and is amazing for cycling coz you can be seen for miles, but currently it's not waterproof, so no use to me :(

38d

Free: Hosepipe and holder (NR2) Gifted Approx 9-10m of hosepipe and the holder to go with it. A bit rusty on the bit that touches the floor, and shower head is a bit chipped, but works fine.

44d

Request: Broken mirrors (NR2) Expired Surely can't be bad luck to recycle someone else's broken mirrors? The bigger the better - I'm going to try to make a garden mosaic....as close to NR2 as possible, to reduce unnecessary breakages and sharps injuries :) thanks for looking...

58d

Request: Tiny bit of turf (NR2) Expired I've slightly misjudged a garden project and have just given away too much turf, and now realised I'm missing a patch which is 3m long x50cm wide (basically a short path) or any combination of that area. Anyone got any spare grass?! I'd be happy to come and dig it up myself...:)

61d

Free: Top soil (NR2) Expired I'll be digging up some decent top soil over the next month or so, if anyone would like a head start dibs for some summer planting?

67d

Free: Fat face bag - 1 repair (NR2) Gifted This is a lovely leather bag from fast face, and I've only worn it a few times, but I carried too much in it the other day and the shoulder strap pulled out of the seam. I don't have the skills or equipment to fix it, and charity shops won't take it broken, so I'm hoping there might be someone out there who can revive it and use it. Sharpie used for size perspective.

Free: Baby changing mat (NR2) Expired Small tear at bottom along the seam, but doesn't interfere with use of hygiene, and could easily be taped up anyway.

115d

Request: Chainsaw (NR2) Expired Just hoping there's someone out there who has a tool sitting twiddling its thumbs in a shed somewhere....we have one tall tree stump, and need something to cut it down before we hire a stump grinder....thanks for reading:)

119d

Free: Wooden highchair (NR2) Expired More for a 6-18month old I would think. Needs a good clean, and missing the original belt thing, but that would be easy to mock up a different way, and it's very solid.

142d

Free: Wooden toy truck (NR2) Gifted Nicely made truck. Missing the shaped pieces but still a good truck with a hinge and a swing door for kids a baby/toddler to enjoy. Can't give it to a charity shop coz they won't be able to sell it without the pieces apparently:(

172d

Free: Childs helmet (NR2) Expired Just too small for our little one now. A tiny bit of polystyrene has broken off the back corner, but it wasn't in an accident, and it's a well made helmet. Circumference 46-53cm so probably for a 1-2year old. Ours has a big head.

Free: Wooden baby walker (NR2) Gifted As seen. One of the xylophone knobs fell off but not dangerous, and could easily be fixed. Nice wooden walker,

196d

Free: 4 tote bags (NR2) Expired Could give them away separately or together? Surplus to requirements.

214d

Free: Melissa and Doug toy (NR2) Expired Hit the balls with the hammer and the balls roll down the sloping steps. Missing two of the balls, but the average baby/toddler wouldn't notice...if I find them I can pass them on...

219d

Free: Wooden blocks (NR2) Gifted A kind soul from trash nothing gave this to me, so now it's time to give them back, to someone else's child to enjoy.

Request: A bit of lime or white cement (NR2) Expired Hello, just finishing tiling the eaves on a shed, and I'm fast running out of white cement and lime, but don't need anywhere near a whole 25kg bag. Just wondered if anyone has a bit left over in their shed/garage? Thanks for reading, Davina
