Request: White emulsion paint about 2.5 lires (Southport PR9) Hi, last year sadly I had a fire in my workshop and the ceiling had to be replaced. So I'm looking for about 2.5 - 3.0 L of brilliant white emulsion to give it 2 coats. If anyone has a tin going spare I'd greatly appreciate it, I'm in PR9. Thank you.

Request: 4 And 5 Foot Fluorescent Fittings (Southport PR9) Received These are for my workshop. 3 x 4 ft. 2 x 5 ft. Would be great. I had a serious fire last year and I'm only just getting round to the electrics. A twin 5 foot would be amazing if anyone has one. The tubes are now LED so these could make the fittings more climate friendly. Thanks in advance if anyone has any going spare.

Request: Holdall For Cordless Drill (Southport PR9) Received Hi, it's a bit of a longshot but I'm giving my niece a drill and would like to pair it up with a holdall to keep it all together. I'm looking for one similar to mine (pictured) it measures about 15" long, 8" high, 8" deep but of course that's just an approximation. She's just bought her first house after many years working abroad and she's just raring to go working on it. Thank you.
