Free: A variety of 'tester pots' of paint (St Nicholas SG1) Hi I've been trying to make up my mind as to how to decorate a bedroom and have 7 tester pots of emulsion. It collectively amounts to quite a lot; 3 of them are 0.25 ltr and are barely used. Can anyone find a use for them? Perhaps a craft project that needs some bright colour introducing to it?

Free: Egg Boxes (St Nicholas SG1) Gifted Hi For years I took egg boxes out to a place in the countryside where I walked regularly, in order to leave them for someone who had hens. Things changed and I rarely go that way now and the last time I did go that way, the hens no longer appeared to be there. But, I can't stop my compulsion to save and reuse the egg boxes. They're getting to be rather numerous. Can anyone help me by reusing them? Do you, or anyone you know, have hens? Or can you suggest another way to use them? Something craft based perhaps?

Request: A cord retaining toggle (St Nicholas SG1) Received Hi I've never known what these things are properly called. It's a quick release toggle for retaining and loosening cords. Has anyone got one spare that they don't need? I have a little project in mind that could make use of one. Thanks

Request: Ebony wood stain or dye (St Nicholas SG1) Withdrawn Hi Does anyone have any interior or exterior ebony wood stain or dye they no longer need? I need some to remove scratches on a curtain pole I have and it seems a shame to buy a whole can for a small job. Thanks for reading.

Request: Rubber Floor Cable Cover (St Nicholas SG1) Received Hi, has anyone got an offcut of rubber cable trunking to stop cables from being a trip hazard? I have some Wi-Fi cables that sit in a bedroom cupboard doorway making the area unsafe to step into. I only need 20"/50cm max and it's sold in lengths of 1.8m. Buying that much would be a waste, so if you have some unused, I'd appreciate it.

Request: Guillotine for cutting quantities of paper (St Nicholas SG1) Received Hello Does anyone have a guillotine for cutting quantities of paper? I run a community group and we want to cut a large number of sheets down from A4 to A5 size. Thanks if you can help.

Free: A large, heavy duty paper mail bag (St Nicholas SG1) Expired 80cm x 40cm. Used only once. Can anyone reuse this for storage or perhaps for sending goods that you sell on line?

Free: A quantity of packaging materials (St Nicholas SG1) Gifted Is anyone planning a house move? Or running a business that needs packing materials? I have a lot of cardboard boxes various sizes, bubble wrap, brown paper etc leftover from my last house move. Happy to split it up if you don't want everything in the lot.

Free: Empty 5 litre water container (St Nicholas SG1) Expired Hi I buy de ionised water for use in my steam iron. So occasionally I have these empty containers. Does anyone have a use for them? I've used some previously for storing wild bird seed as I can then hang them from my garage rafters so mice can't eat the seed. But I'm now running out of good ideas. Maybe if you change your own engine oil they could be used to transfer the old oil to the council waste tip? It seems a shame to throw them.

Free: A pair of rubber washing up gloves (St Nicholas SG1) Gifted Medium sized. I bought them in error (I need large ones and they were in the wrong box on the shelf!) and can't get them on my hands without the risk of tearing them. Worn only once. Can anyone use them, rather than me throwing them away?

Free: Stamps (St Nicholas SG1) Gifted Hi Are there any philatelists on Freegle? Indeed, does anyone still collect stamps these days? I've saved up a small quantity over the past 5 years or so and want to get rid of them. If anyone wants them, or if anyone knows how to give them to a good cause, please let me know. Thanks.

Free: Old unused hearing aid cases (St Nicholas SG1) Expired An odd one, I admit. But can anyone find a use for these? I'm thinking they could be used as a mini purse or wallet so that your child can take a few coins to school or the local shop. They measure approximately 8cm x 7cm. Clean and effectively unused.

Request: Index Card Box (St Nicholas SG1) Received Hi. Has anyone got an index card box for storing record cards that they no longer use? A smaller one of 5" / 13 cm wide would do. Clear or any colour

Request: An angle poise type lamp (St Nicholas SG1) Expired Hi. Has anyone got an anglepoise iron similar type of lamp they don't need? I'd like one to provide extra light in my garage in order to brighten my work bench while I'm doing work there. Shelf fixing would be ideal, but otherwise with a base. This would allow me to see details better as I'm working in my shadow currently. Thank you.

Free: Empty Egg Boxes (St Nicholas SG1) Expired Hi. For years I gave my egg boxes to a place out of town where they kept hens. The elderly lady no longer does so and decades of passing them on, I'm suffering emotionally at the thought of just recycling them. OK, I know this is illogical. Probably a sign that I'm obsessive. 😉 But do any of you Freeglers know of someone keeping hens that needs an occasional batch of empty egg boxes? You'd really help restore my equilibrium! 😆 p.s. I'm happy to deliver them if it helps, depending on location and distance.

Request: Scaffold Boards (St Nicholas SG1) Expired I'd really appreciate 2 or, at the most, three scaffold boards to create a raised bed along my fence. The boards will help prevent soil from damaging the fence. Thanks for your offer if you have them to spare. I can collect.

Request: Hanging baskets (St Nicholas SG1) Expired Does anyone have 2 or perhaps 3 preferably metal hanging baskets? I'd like to be able to brighten up my back garden a little more with them. Thanks if you can help.
