Free: Matsui Radio/CD (Dunblane FK15) Would this be useful to anyone for parts? The analogue radio still works fine but the CD and tape deck don't, so this is really for DIY stuff unless you need a free radio for the workshop. If no-one wants it I'll send it to the council recycling site.

Free: Reed Fencing (Dunblane FK15) About 2 metres by 60cm. Use it for the garden or make a window blind with it, or whatever else you can think of to make use of it. Unused, so not crawling with bugs or festooned with spider webs! Pick-up only

Request: Rusty old unused pram or similar (Dunblane FK15) Hi all. I'm needing something like an old pram or something that has pneumatic wheels on it. I'm revamping the trolley I use to chauffeur the cats to the vet because the wheels just don't absorb any of the bumps along the way in the pavement and it can't be very comfortable for them. If you can throw up a pic that would lovely - I'll look at anything! Many thanks!

Free: Armchair - upholstery project (Dunblane FK15) This is a wonderful project for someone. The structure is fine. The blue cover is a worn-away dye attempt to cover the floral pattern and which has worn away on the arms, plus the cats have been redesigning the front! There are no fleas or other critters inside as my cats are home cats and consistently critter-free! It needs another foam cushion, and no doubt the rest of the padding can be chucked away and replaced, but this is such a lovely comfortable armchair and it just needs some upholstery love. Two small wheels are missing from underneath. Heavy so will need two as I'm not able to help get it down the stairs - I'm on the first floor. I'll bet someone can bring it back to life and give it a good home! I'd keep it but for the fact I now no longer have the space for it. There's nothing fire-retardant about it I'm sure, as it's a very old armchair, but it has so much potential to be a lovely piece when re-upholstered!

Free: Travel Suitcase (Dunblane FK15) Gifted Clean and functional! There is one handle missing on the top but it can be carried with the other handle on the side. It has a pull out handle for trundling it behind you, three separate pockets for paperwork etc and two straps inside to hold contents safely. It's not the prettiest suitcase but it's a workhorse and is reliable.

Free: Rucksack (Dunblane FK15) Gifted Very clean and in good condition apart from one zip that has come adrift but doesn't affect the main body of the rucksack. I think it's a 40litre but can't remember. It's been all over with me and travelled the world, and now I'm a little less mobile it deserves to find someone else who can take it places! It's got a rain cover and is practically indestructible (other than the zip). Make is Eurohike but a discontinued version - I've had it for a good 30 years. Someone give it a good home please!

Free: Travel Case (Dunblane FK15) Withdrawn Nifty little travel suitcase with a pullout handle for trundling across concourses. Nice and roomy inside and has an extra bit of space that you simply unzip if you're bringing home surprises for the family. It's old but clean, the zips all work, and although it has a slight lean to one side while upright (from using it to drag a whole load of wall tiles home!) it trundles very happily. Yours if you want it!

Free: Carpet (Dunblane FK15) Gifted Hi all! Beige carpet sitting in a hall cupboard doing nothing, left over from having my flat carpeted. 2.6m x 60cm with a bit extra as a cut off bit. Nice and soft to walk on or you could cut it up for pet mats. It's yours for the asking!

Free: 3m / 3.28 yds of red crepe fabric 203cm / 80ins" wide. (Dunblane FK15) Gifted Bought but unused as it wasn't right for what I'd planned. I didn't find another use for it so it's unused apart from a swatch taken off at one end. Might make some nice blowy curtains or other kinds of home furnishings, or a dress / skirt with good draping. Feels nice and crunchy!
