Congratulations! Exciting times ahead!!

(though bear in mind its a frame/backpack type one not a baby bjorn (etc..) so she/he won't be able to use it until they can hold their own head up comfortably - more than 6 months old..)

Cheers.

Yeah, figured we'd need sling, buggy, etc, etc for the first few months, then hopefully once the weather picks up in the spring we can get out and a rucksack style carrier would be useful.

Certainly will, not long before a large infant in a sling kills your lower back.

And that's assuming it isn't knackered by the bending over changing the little one, picking up, putting down etc etc...

Messaged you about the baby-carrier - our first is due in December :)

Hey, that's wonderful news Ally!

I've got about 10/11 pairs of old climbing shoes. some up to 20 years old, original pinks, velcros some Sportiva shoes, slippers, and probs Scarpa as well.
All used but not completely knackered and I don't want them any more.
Seems a shame to just throw them away into landfill and AFAIK isn't anywhere to re-cycle them.
Any ideas as to what to do with them ?

I used to wash them then give them to student clubs for beginners to use.

No idea if they still do

I’ll WhatsApp you but I’ve given 5-10 old pairs to MrJonathanarthur who uses them with kids at his school in intros to climbing (iirc).

Happy to pass them on to him (he’s in S Manchester too).

There was a charity or school who posted on the other channel not long ago looking for any worn out shoes to introduce kids to the outdoors. Think they were N Wales based but not sure.

I stuff any unwanted old climbing gear into the recycling bins in Outside/ Awesome Walls/ Foundry, including climbing shoes (that I’ve put through the wash first) and no signs saying “please don’t put x in here” have appeared yet.

Hi Dolly, maybe your local Scout troop would be interested?

I noticed that Blacks have a sign outside that says something along the lines of  "donate your old gear and get 15% off"

I have a black ikea shelf unit i'm looking to freecycle. Can't remember what its called but seems to be most similar to the kallax units. Its around 49inches wide and 75 inches high. Can try to send a photo if interested. Collection from Sheffield S8.

Also on the remote chance someone wants a brand new shower tray I have a free one. Apparently there is a small mark on it so was replaced. Its a Victoria plumb one 1400 x 900 x 40. I can send a photo if interested.

Hi Sam.

Can I collect these? Assuming they'll fit the printer/scanner you gave me.

Hope all's well.

Dave.

Your welcome to them.

Not sure if they'll fit that printer or not. They're from my canon MP600r which died recently and went to the tip. (after I'd tried to fix it to no avail)

Hi Sam.

Sorry for the delay. Unfortunately they're not compatible with the scanner you gave me.

Anyone else want them? I'll put them on Gumtree and if they sell, I'll donate to the bolt fund.

Posted now. £20. Who knows?!

.. I'm sure I can pick up an angle grinder from Lidl for that.. ;)
