Ours died suddenly last week, so we need a replacement for in the kitchen. If you have one we can make use of, that would be great. Thank you in advance

About half a tub of white paint for putting on bare plaster. Not planning to refurbish anything else any time soon. Bought about a week ago, so still fresh.

Small table top fridge (Allithwaite LA11)
Gifted
White(ish). This is old and faded, but still works, as we found a couple of weeks ago when our main fridge died and we retrieved this from the attic. There is a small gap in the seal at the top of the door - doesn't seem to affect the running.

Pizza oven (Allithwaite LA11)
Gifted
Concrete style pizza oven with slab base and entended chimney. Very heavy, so you will need a van / estate to collect, and a couple of strong lifters.

Inflatable dolphin (Allithwaite LA11)
Expired
As in the pics, overall about 4 foot long. These pics were taken about 2 hours after it was inflated, so it does lose a bit of air, but not rapidly. Only to be given to responsible but fun loving adults....

Building bits (Allithwaite LA11)
Expired
Several offcuts of "Backer board" insulation - foam with a cement based cover to make it waterproof. 25mm thick. Some bits are part painted, as I used this to insulate my office ready for winter... Part used tin of foam adhesive. I didn't use much of it, but I don't know how much is in one of these to start with. Half a bag of cement. Been open a few weeks, but kept wrapped in a plastic bag.

Coocheer brand - fixes to the edge of a table / desk, and can be bent tilted and rotated to suit. Holds tablets about 7 to 7.5 inches tall.

PC components (Allithwaite LA11)
Gifted
A variety of cables and adapters to help connect the PC output to whatever monitors will take. All have been used successfully. DVD drive and hard drive for internal connection - the two internal cables were removed from an old machine. Ram sticks - 2 x 2GB. Not sure how much is in the Corsair stick

35mm FILM camera (Allithwaite LA11)
Expired
As promoted by David Bailey (who's he?) and Arthur Daley if you remember that far back. The lens is protected with a UV filter, and the macro lenses are clear and clean. Would suit an enthusiast, or anyone wanting to play with film photography.

Concrete capstones (Allithwaite LA11)
Expired
Taken off the tops of our gate posts, about 2 foot square and 4 inch thick. Very heavy, you will need a van / pickup or trailer to collect. Blocks have gone... The capstones will be the last - probably save them for tomorrow as they will need to be broken for displsal...

Towball Bike rack (Allithwaite LA11)
Expired
As in the pics - a little rusty in places, but still sturdy and functional. Can carry up to 3 normal bikes, but wouldn't try more than one electric bike.

Trailer (Allithwaite LA11)
Gifted
4 foot by 3 foot, 12 inch deep, with a fibre glass cover. Bodywork, frame and tow strut is in fair condition, but the wheels have seized completely, so you will need a van or another trailer to collect this. Should be easy to source new wheels and attachments, as they are a well known brand, but don't know how much it would cost. If you can extract the bearings and replace them, they are probably less than £20 for a set.

Wormery (Allithwaite LA11)
Gifted
I made this wormery years ago from a pond filtration tank. It is about 15 gallons / 68 litres absolute volume, but with the drainage space at the bottom, quite a bit less than that. The mesh inside stops big bits and worms getting into the leachate, which you can take off through the tap at the bottom. The lid clips on quite firmly, so won't blow away, and keeps out the rain so it doesn't flood. This was capable of handling most of our kitchen waste, with occasional top ups of grass clippings for variety. The leachate (worm juice...) is great as liquid fertiliser in the greenhouse if you have one, or just wherever you have plants. The stand is just some old pallet bits, and is Ok at the moment, but would need replacing in a couple of years time...

Moving rollers (Allithwaite LA11)
Gifted
These are extendable rollers for putting under furniture, either permanently so it is easy to move back and forth, or just while you are shifting it around. As long as the weight is at the ends, they can carry quite a load, but will not support just in the centres

Pond plants (Allithwaite LA11)
Gifted
Looking to spruce up your garden for spring? We have an old corner bath that would make a great pond either sunk into the ground or built up around the sides - the pic showsit full of the plants we cleared out last October, as well as the water so it doesn't leak! (must admit the weather has probably helped with that...) Alternatively, if you would just like some or all of the plants (flag iris yellow and possibly some blue, plus some other bits that are marginal plants) you are more than welcome. The bath has a shelf in the corner, so you can have shallow water plants too.
