Free storage bed base (approx Queen Size)
Hi, we've got a storage bed base to give away. It's approx a Queen - we've brought it from Europe which is why it's slightly different. There's like a 3 cm gap left and right if you put a Queen size mattress on it. The faux leather on the surface of the headboard is coming off (we've put a blanket over it most of the time to cover it). Otherwise, in pretty good condition, the split bed base folds up without any issues. Lots of storage underneath.
We still have the mattress for it, too, which is 8 years old and rather thin compared to new mattresses these days - so we're inclined to toss that out.
Pick up is in Birkenhead. We'll dismantle it and carry it out of the house for you.
PM me if you are interested.

Gift-giving looks a lot different these days when you can pick up super-cheap goods made overseas. But do they last?

Christmas Carols- A brief history
Hello,
As we head into Christmas and the long holidays, the unmistakable carol music of Christmas will be heard. From shopping malls to radio stations to homes where tree decorating missions are underway not to mention seeds of an argument that reaches it zenith on Christmas Day!
But where did it all originate ( not the argument!), the carols?
Here at the Flea FM, each week we will post a few short snippets* we have curated so that you can appreciate when you hear a carol, a little history about the simple Christmas carol. Enjoy.
* attributes provided at last post.
In medieval times, the word ‘carol’ referred to a round dance with musical accompaniment (‘carole’ in French). It later developed into a song form of verses and a refrain. Not all the original texts had Christmassy words but many were associated with Mary, Advent and Christmas. The term has since come to be applied to all Christmas songs, whether or not in carol form.
Christmas Carols were introduced to formal church services by St. Francis of Assisi.
‘One of the oldest printed English Christmas carols is the Boar's Head Carol, sung as the traditional dish is carried in on Christmas Day at Queen's College, Oxford; it was printed in 1521.’ (Oxford Dictionary of Music)
