Free: John Lewis washing machine - excellent working order (Hillsborough S6) Gifted 6d - Please read carefully: John Lewis washing machine in good clean working condition. Excellent quality - made in Italy. Used daily and no problems at all, we are only rehoming it as we are replacing with a washer/dryer. 7kg capacity. This can be collected from Thursday evening onwards. We cannot deliver so please ensure you have the appropriate vehicle and equipment to collect this before you request it (collection is from the ground floor of our house and we have sack trucks that you are welcome to use to move the washing machine to your vehicle if that's useful).

Free: Roof box (Hillsborough S6) Gifted 45d - Grey roof box, 340l, key (definitely one and will try to dig out the 2nd!), full working order but has one small split near the hinge as pictured and cosmetic marks from storage. If the split was patched it'll carry on giving years of service. Perfectly functional - rehoming as we needed something with bigger capacity. Let me know why you want it and when you can collect (does not come with roof bars so you will need these).

Free: Main crop seed potatoes for planting (Hillsborough S6) Gifted 45d - 6 x Picasso and 17 x desiree. Chitted and ready to plant. All to go together in one lot please. Let me know when you can collect.

Free: BabyDan deluxe playpen (Hillsborough S6) Gifted 224d - BabyDan duluxe play pen including the playmat which fits inside. This is a high quality play pen which we found really useful with our eldest. We put it in our kitchen and she could play and watch us cook We didn't have enough space to use it with our youngest but we did recently lend it to some friends so it has been used by two babies. But it's metal and sturdy so not the sort of thing that wears out! It will need a bit of a clean and the playmat will need a wash but you can just chuck it in the washing machine. Very expensive to buy new, hopefully someone can get some more use out of it. IMPORTANT: in your reply please tell me why you would like this item.

Free: Flower arranging basket and oasis (Hillsborough S6) Gifted 258d - Is anyone into flower arranging? If so I have a basket and two large blocks of oasis to give away. They came as part of a flower basket from a local florist so one of the blocks of oasis has some holes in it but the other hasn't really been used as it was just part of the stack. I only chucked the flowers out today so the oasis is still a bit wet! Please let me know why you would like the item and when you can collect. I will allow time for people to see this message so if you don't receive a reply immediately please be patient :)

Free: Wool knitting yarn (Hillsborough S6) Gifted 343d - I have had a clear out of my knitting yarn so the following is looking for a new home: 410g bag of 100% wool (some sheep's wool, some sheep/alpaca mix) in various solid colours - quite a lot of natural/grey with some contrast colours. Mostly rewound from part balls and some of it has been knitted up and then unravelled again so is a bit kinked (but from experience this is totally fine to knit with) and some smaller lengths. It's mostly aran weight Drops Alaska and Drops Nepal and there is a bit of Drops Delight in there too. Also a part knitted scarf project still on the needles, pattern included, in Drops Alpaca Brushed Silk. You'd need some more yarn to finish it off as per the pattern but there is enough to make a shorter version. All to go together. In the interests of fairness I will allow until Wednesday morning for people to see this message. Please don't expect a reply until then. Please let me know why you'd like this item.

Free: New unopened bath stuff (bath salts, oil, bath bomb) (Hillsborough S6) Gifted 1y - 1 kg of Westlab Himalayan Bath Salt (new, sealed and unopened), 100ml of Tisserand de-stress bath oil (didn't come sealed but it's never been used), and a bath bomb (sealed in wrapping). Really good quality - the bath oil alone retails for around £10! I was given these as a gift within the past year but I am not really a bath person so rather than letting them sit in my bathroom cupboard I thought someone else might enjoy them.

Free: Perfume, Lancome Tresor 30ml EDP, sprayed around 3 times! (Hillsborough S6) Gifted 1y - A nearly full 30ml bottle of Lancome Tresor Eau de Parfum. I've sprayed it around three times to establish that it isn't my style! It was a gift and is a true classic that loads of people love so if you do then today is your lucky day. Retails around £65. It's sat in my cupboard for a few years but it still smells good (if you like the scent!). About the perfume: "Tresor is a treasure among perfume creations ('tresor' in French means 'treasure'). It is one of the best-selling and most popular perfumes in the world. This exceptionally warm floral-oriental has a very fine and elegant composition made of rose, heliotrope, orris, apricot and iris."

Free: 14 Maris Piper seed potatoes (Hillsborough S6) Gifted 1y - 14 Maris Piper seed potatoes for planting. They have been chitted and are ready to plant (ideally need to go in the ground ASAP). Left over from our potato planting at the weekend!

Free: Womens Size 4 Jones Bootmaker black hiker style boots (Hillsborough S6) Expired 1y - Would anyone like these? They need a visit to the cobbler for reheeling and sticking down the heel at the back but they are lovely quality leather boots with plenty of wear left in them. A bit dusty inside from storage. If no one wants them I will keep them but they have always been a bit big for me. Large size 4 or small size 5.

Free: Vintage Victorian style size 4 ankle boots (Hillsborough S6) Gifted 1y - Lovely pair of vintage (1980s?) boots in a Victorian style. Made in Spain. Size 4. I think they are leather. These need a visit to the cobbler for reheeling. A bit dusty inside from storage. Only rehoming them as they aren't really my style anymore and maybe someone else would enjoy them; might also be useful for theatre costume or kids dressing up!?

Free: Two brand new ladies night shirts/night dresses 24-26/XXL (Hillsborough S6) Gifted 1y - Two brand new never worn ladies night shirts. I bought these last year to wear when in labour with my youngest but then she arrived very suddenly and i never used them! Perfect condition, 100% cotton and decent quality - the checked one is particularly nice. Stored in a smoke free house. Sizes on labels are 24-26 and XXL. Very cosy. I'm trying to make space ahead of Christmas so priority given to quick collection.

Free: Jars (Hillsborough S6) Gifted 1y - I have cleared out my jar hoard as have way more than I have time to make jam or chutney to put in them! Would anyone like any before i put them in the recycling? Mix of sizes but mostly useful medium sized jars, will need a good scrub as they've been stored in the cellar. Easiest if they went as one lot but there are so many I am happy to split.

Free: HiPP Organic baby formula 2 x 200ml (Hillsborough S6) Expired 1y - Would anyone use this baby formula? Only two bottles but seems a shame to waste it and if anyone lives nearby ...? Best before 20/02/2023. I can leave it on the front step for easy collection.

Free: Books: slow cooker recipes, steamer recipes, and yoga (Hillsborough S6) Gifted 1y - Would anyone like these books? I'd rather they went together but the main thing is that they get used so happy to split if necessary. Slow Cooking for Vegetarians Steaming Cookbook Simply Yoga (includes DVD).

Free: Bag of quality children's clothes, 18 months - 4 years (Hillsborough S6) Gifted 1y - I have a bag of good quality children's clothes to rehome. My cousin gave me a big load of hand me downs for my daughters but not everything is their style so I am just passing on what they won't wear. Good quality brands including Boden, JoJo Maman Bebe, Next, etc. Dresses, leggings, tops, trousers. Mixture of unisex and girly stuff! Also a mix of sizes, mostly 18-24 months, 2-3, 3-4 but might be a stray either side of this range mixed in. Most of it is in good condition but also a few items of playwear/nurserywear with small marks/washwear. Photos just show a few indicative items rather than everything, and i'd like it all to go together. I've given everything a wash to freshen it up so ready to wear. Smoke free home.

Free: Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Complete Feeding Set (Hillsborough S6) Gifted 1y - We bought this brand new a couple of years ago and this exact model is still available to buy for £75. It is complete and some of it is completely unused: 1 electric steam steriliser (this has been used, but is in perfect working order. It could do with a scrub to remove some mineral buildup but it's good to go and was in daily use until last week) 1 bottle and food warmer (I think we never used this) 2 insulated bottle bags (again, either never used or used once or twice) 4 150ml bottles (these have been used, but if you buy new teats for them they can be used again no problem. We bought some extras so theres a few more in the box) 4 250ml bottles (we never used these and one is in the original packaging. I'd replace the teats on the unpackaged ones to be on the safe side) 4 milk powder dispensers (three of these are unused in their original packaging) 1 bottle and teat brush (never used, in original packaging) 1 soother (never used, sealed in packaging) 1 teat tongs (never used - we just burnt our hands instead!) Comes in original box with all the instructions etc. Used for both our babies for around six months each and now just want someone else to get some use out of it if possible.

Free: Flask (Hillsborough S6) Gifted 1y - Before I get rid of it would anyone like this flask? It's great at keeping hot things hot and cold things cold but if you turn it upside down the closure mechanism leaks a bit. This is fine if you aren't going to turn it upside down but we've had one too many walks where it has leaked into the bottom of a rucksack! It may be that it takes a standard lid, or the mechanism can be fixed but we have another one we use instead so haven't looked into it.

Free: Toddler Micro scooter/cycling helmet (Hillsborough S6) Expired 1y - I bought this helmet on EBay but when it arrived I discovered that it was missing the ratchet at the back to adjust it and the internal adjustable part was held together with tape. The seller gave me a full refund and said I didn't have to send it back and I have bought a new one, so before i throw it out I'm wondering if anyone would use it? (I know they are thirty quid new!)? The seller used it taped up so if you wanted to have a go at doing the same I think it would be fine, it just makes it a faff to adjust. Might be ok for occasional use or as a spare? It's the size 48-53. See photos - it's otherwise in fine condition. Free: Yucca houseplant (Hillsborough S6) Gifted 1y - I have two yucca houseplants to give away. I grew three from cuttings some years ago but I don't have space for three so i'm rehoming two. They could do with a bit more care and attention than i've been giving them to perk them up but they are healthy and really nice architectural plant. From previous experience I will get lots of replies so in the interests if fairness I will collect names until tomorrow (Tuesday) at 6pm then pull two names out of a hat. So let me know if you'd like to be in the yucca draw!
