Request: Scythe (Checkley HR1) I've got disillusioned with my strimmer and found an old-fashioned sickle to be much more effective against weeds and long grass. A scythe would be even better, but the modern ones you buy have rather short handles. Does anyone have a proper, Grim Reaper scythe rusting in the shed? Thanks (I am 54 years old and not a psychopath).

Request: Working spin dryer (New Marston OX3) Spin dryers are old-fashioned, but really useful if you line dry. I used to have one, but it got lost while my stuff was in storage. Just wondering if anyone has one they don't use ....

Free: Black plastic curtain rings, more than 200, 25mm (New Marston OX3) Expired Sorry no picture: they are boring and functional. Black plastic, inside diameter 25 mm, would suit fairly thin metal curtain poles. Small package so I could deliver round New Marston or city centre on Monday.

Free: Small double kitchen sink (Checkley HR1) Expired Removed as we are unfitting our kitchen. Best day for us would be Saturday 17th, in the afternoon.

Request: Marble pastry board or largeish piece of reclaimed marble (New Marston OX3) Received I just broke my marble pastry board--I dropped it and it split despite bouncing off my foot on the way down (ow). So I don't want another new one from China; I want an old one that's a bit more robust. Having checked Ebay without success (reclaimed marble collect-only from Llanelli) I thought I would see if anyone has a piece of marble in their shed that they don't want! (It has to be marble to keep the pastry cold.) You never know. Thanks!

Free: Various fitted kitchen cupboards (Checkley HR1) Expired We are replacing our kitchen and so no longer need these plain white cupboards. (Sorry cooker hood not included.) You are welcome to take some or all. Best day for us would be Saturday 17th, in the afternoon.

Free: Four sealed packs of fragrance-free baby wipes (New Marston OX3) Gifted I would give these to the hygiene bank only they're very out of date. Since they're sealed I assume there's nothing wrong with them.

223d

Request: Curtain poles, two 40", one 31" (New Marston OX3) Received We're moving into a new place and want to hang curtains over some draughty doors. Redundant curtain poles would be useful, with or without fixings, with or without rings! Thanks

Free: Hoover vacuum cleaner (New Marston OX3) Gifted Works as well as it ever did, but a bit modern and underpowered. A friend gave me an old 2000W Miele so this is going spare!
