Hi there,
I have a bit of a random request.
I was hoping someone may have an old ships wheel and/or a old life ring that I could please borrow just for 1 day (22nd Feb) . I have been hunting op shops and trade me etc with no luck. It is just to be used as decoration at my sons birthday party, so doesn't need to be in great condition, and I can pick up and drop back after the party.
Thanks so much in advance,
Jo McDermott
