Free: Guitar stands (East Twerton) Gifted 38d - Two guitar stands, adjustable height. The metal frames are sound, but the foam covers on the arms of the cradles are damaged (see photos). Partly due to age… mostly a house rabbit who nibbled anything her height! New pieces of foam could be added. They were used until a couple of years ago, but we now have more stands than guitars.

Free: Plastic cover to tidy up flexes (East Twerton) Expired 123d - Two pieces of black plastic tubing, each 104cm long. They are split along the length so they can be put over wires to keep several together. Purchased when we had a house rabbit. She nibbled the plastic a little (see photo) but it did its job and kept the computer/telephone/lamp cables (and her) safe.

Free: Plastic cups for furniture legs (East Twerton) Gifted 128d - Square plastic cups for table or chair legs, with felt on the underside. Unused. Large cups (7 of them) are 5.5cm square. Smaller cups (20 of them) are 3.5cm square. I ordered some online for my kitchen table and chairs which were scraping on the floor, but could only buy large bags of them so now have plenty of spares. Can break them up into smaller quantities of course, if you have use for just a few.

Free: A4 ringbinder (East Twerton) Expired 136d - Shiny blue A4 ring binder. Marked on spine and inside where labels have been removed, but can easily be covered over with new labels. No longer needed.

Free: Flex (East Twerton) Expired 136d - Unused flex. It has ‘patch cord’ written on it and came with a wi-fi router I think, but we never needed it.

Free: Fridge thermometer (East Twerton) Gifted 136d - Can stand on a shelf or clip onto a wire shelf. Size 13x4cm. Our new fridge has an inbuilt thermometer so we no longer need it.

Free: Egg holders (East Twerton) Expired 136d - Two plastic egg trays (each holds six eggs) for use inside a fridge. We have a new fridge so don’t need them now.

Free: A4 plastic sleeves (East Twerton) Gifted 141d - Lots of A4 plastic sleeves, no longer needed.

Free: Storage jar (East Twerton) Gifted 141d - Shaped glass storage jar with grey plastic lid. 18cm high. Possibly had sweets in it once.

Free: Companion set (East Twerton) Gifted 178d - Black metal companion set: stand plus shovel, brush and poker. Have used it a little but is not needed now as am being given a handmade one for Christmas. It is in good condition. Quite small - stand is approximately 48cm tall, poker 33cm long.

Free: Pair of glass wall lights (East Twerton) Expired 1y - These pretty glass shades are intact though the wall fittings are old and will need to be rewired. Each shade is 30cm wide at the top. They served us well and we would still be using them if we hadn’t had the room redecorated and decided on different ones.

Free: Cotton/linen mix fabric in shape of sofa loose cover (East Twerton) Gifted 1y - Our new sofa had a flaw in the loose cover: a horizontal, inch-long white mark on the arm which could potentially tear in time (see photo). The company was excellent and replaced the cover for us, but did not want the old cover back. I am now trying to find a home for the fabric. It is a good quality cotton/linen mix, in indigo. In the unlikely event anyone has a similarly-shaped sofa or cushions I attach a photo of that (and can send further measurements).

Free: Retractable metal tape measure (East Twerton) Gifted 1y - Still works OK. No longer needed as we have two. Measures up to 5m (16ft).

Free: Hangars (East Twerton) Expired 1y - Four metal and two plastic clothes hangars.

Free: Assorted bulbs (East Twerton) Gifted 1y - We no longer have the light fittings which need these bulbs. So far as I know they are all working as I had them in my ‘spares’ drawer, but I can’t test them to check for obvious reasons!

+1

Free: Two-way adapters & plug (East Twerton) Expired 1y - We have more adaptors than we need. Three two-way adaptors. Also one plug.

Free: Castor cups (East Twerton) Gifted 1y - A number of castor cups to put under furniture legs to protect the floor or carpet. Four have felt backing, the others not. Do have just a few if you don’t need them all.

Free: Plug-in telephone extension lead (East Twerton) Gifted 1y - This was a very useful lead when we wanted to use our plug-in landline phone on the opposite side of the room to the socket. But we now have mobiles so no longer need it. It is in good condition.

Free: Tent light (East Twerton) Gifted 1y - Battery-powered light to use in a tent, shed or wardrobe. Magnetic mounting plate. Bought a while ago but still unopened as we found we didn’t need it in the end.

Free: Felt pads for furniture (East Twerton) Gifted 1y - There are several packets, with some pads used from each, but lots remaining which have never been taken out of the packet.

Free: Plastic cups for filling steam iron (East Twerton) Gifted 1y - Not needed as new jug came with new iron.

Free: Holder for iron & ironing board (East Twerton) Gifted 1y - This screws to the wall and holds an iron, and ironing board can hang from the hook (position of which can be moved). It is a little scratched as has been well used, but is sound. Free: Sleeve ironing board (East Twerton) Gifted 1y - This came with my original ironing board and I’ve never used it as I always iron shirt sleeves flat on my main board. It is not pristine - the paint is a little chipped - but works fine. Free: Barbecue grill basket (East Twerton) Gifted 1y - Unused. An unwanted gift as we already had a barbecue grill. Three skewers with it (shown here with protective corks on the ends).
