Free: Moving cat toy (Tattenhoe MK4) Promised The feather inside comes out of the different holes and it moves around a bit too. It makes a bit of noise so not for nervous cats; mine haven't got on with it. Charges via USB cable.

11h

Free: Pill pockets for cat medication (Tattenhoe MK4) Tried these for giving antibiotics to my cat but she wouldn't even eat them empty! Meant to be great though, but pricy so thought others might want to try before investing if you have cats that struggle with meds - wish I could have tested first! (Happy to split what's left to allow more to test them, and since the pack's already open...)

11h

Request: Pebbles/stones for the bottom of a pond (Tattenhoe MK4) Withdrawn I'm reusing an old tub to make a mini-pond to help biodiversity, and need to put large-ish stones/pebbles at the bottom. Anyone have some lying around (ideally near Tattenhoe or the OU) that I could give a new home to?

16d

Free: 5 pieces of underlay (Tattenhoe MK4) Gifted 100x60cm basic underlay sheets (5mm thick). The type that snap when bent but do the job if you keep them flat. Can leave out for collection at agreed time.

35d

Free: Swedish poetry fridge magnets (Tattenhoe MK4) Promised Bit niche but any Swedish speakers/learners might like it! One of those packs of magnetic words so you can write poetry on your fridge.

35d

Free: Small whittling bits (Tattenhoe MK4) Gifted From a short lived pandemic hobby! Two rolls of protective finger tape, an untouched 2.5x2.5x10cm wood block, two half-started blocks if any use (going to be a gnome and bear, obviously), and a small scoopy-outy tool.

175d

Free: Garden chair (Tattenhoe MK4) Gifted Quite old but still very sturdy, could just do with a lick of paint. Adult chair bur on the small side - 39cm wide

296d

Free: Frying pan (Tattenhoe MK4) Expired 28cm pan, still works fine but I was given a new one.

344d

Free: BBQ tools (Tattenhoe MK4) Expired Decent pair of tools but kept outside so a touch of rust but surely cleanable/usable? Pen in photo for scale, not included 😁

354d

Request: Rake for gathering cut grass (Tattenhoe MK4) Expired It's a bit tedious by hand on the allotment, so if anyone has an old rake going spare, I'll happily re-home it. Just needs to be usable, nothing fancy (regretting freecycling my inherited rake many years ago in pre-allotment days lol)

Request: Chicken wire/wire mesh/similar (Tattenhoe MK4) Expired Any wire mesh offcuts eg from chicken or rabbit runs or anywhere would be fab - I'm hoping to make a little cage from wire and posts to make leaf mould in for my plants. Ideally not too far from Tattenhoe but am happy to collect :) A few metres would be ideal, but size is flexible.

1y

Free: Dill seeds (Tattenhoe MK4) Expired Bought on a whim on sale though I don't really have space for another herb and wouldn't prioritise dill! Needs sowing this year. Have sown half the pack and won't use the rest so wondered if anyone else wants to try them. Can leave outside for easy collection from Tattenhoe.

1y

Free: Bird house (Tattenhoe MK4) Gifted Old bird house that I can't attach anywhere now fence posts have been changed to concrete! I don't think it was ever used as it's quite clean inside, but maybe in the right spot it can help some birds :)

1y

Request: Wellies (size 6/39ish) (Tattenhoe MK4) Expired Would like to see if it's easier on my soggy allotment in wellies, so would love to try any old pair as long as they're still waterproof!

1y

Free: Bag of plastic packing noodles (Tattenhoe MK4) Gifted For packing/posting, using in a hamper, lucky dip, etc... Don't think they recycle so am hoping someone can reuse them!

1y

1y

Free: A dozen vegan recipe cards (Tattenhoe MK4) Expired Lovely recipe cards from The Vegan Kind (big pics of the food on the back), with holes but I don't have the binder. Anyone want to add to their collection? Can leave outside safely for simple collection :)

1y

Free: New red recycling sacks (Tattenhoe MK4) Gifted I'm in a sack not a wheelie bin area so got all the new sacks, but I compost all my paper so don't need the red ones. Could be useful for spring cleans or something though. I've already got enough spare clear sacks so wondered if anyone could use these?

1y

Free: Injured dragon box (Tattenhoe MK4) Expired Super cute steampunk dragon box, pen not included but to show size :-) The dragon did have an encounter with my cat and lost the end of his nose and raised paw, which I couldn't save to glue on, but there's still life in him yet!

1y

Free: Phone holder for car CD player (Tattenhoe MK4) Gifted Fits into the CD slot. Works ok if your phone isn't too heavy, mine is so it can work loose especially over lots of potholes! Hence I've changed to a different style one, but someone might want to try this style :)

1y

Free: Senior (7+) cat biscuits (Tattenhoe MK4) Gifted My cat's diet's changed - obvs as soon as I'd bought a new big bag! Open bag but lots left
