12 pairs of “queen size” stockings (Britannia)
In the depths of my wardrobe, I discovered a couple of hangers loaded with this long-forgotten collection of nylon stockings. I haven’t worn skirts since I stopped having an office job (also stopped having a waist). These would fit a 14-16 lady. I’m now much too fat to fit into them, being more like a 22! I’ve laundered them all, and checked for rips or tears – they’re in pretty good shape. Various colours, as shown.

several dozen scraper blades (Britannia)
I bought these on Amazon recently, failing to notice that I was ordering not a ten-pack ... but a box of a hundred! I can lead a long and scrapy life, and never need this many. If you'd like to put dibs on a dozen or so – or even just half a dozen – I'm happy to split them up for people.

(slightly bust) ladies swim fins (Britannia)
I've worn these things for many years, to swim in the river; but last summer, apparently my feet got too big – one of the fins split down the heel. I was planning to repair it with superglue and a leather strip ... but since they're now too small for me, I figured they'd just break again. My shoe size WAS 8.5, and that's what these would fit comfortably – if you feel like fixing them. I know swimming season seems like a long way off!

two wool dryer balls (Britannia)
I posted these last week, and they were all spoken for ... but a few people never did show up to get theirs. Here's your chance to "get a pair"!

"past their best" computer speakers (Britannia)
My son bought me a nice new set for Christmas – can anybody use these old ones? If not, they can go into the nearest electronic waste recycling.

two pairs of shoes: sturdy & flimsy (Britannia)
The boxy black ones are size 8.5, the wee strappy silver sandals a size 8. Both are in decent shape – in fact, I hardly ever wore the sandals, since they were always too frivolous for me.

kitchen faucet for handyman (Britannia)
I actually got this from here a few months back, and it's been hanging around waiting for my landlord to come and install it. But he surprised me by showing up with a brand-new model, still in the box, and turning up his nose at this repurposed item! I think it has all the necessary hardware with it – including an optional soap dispenser (see blue marking), and all the various hoses and fiddly bits.

light plastic loo lid (Britannia)
My landlord recently replaced mine, so this is surplus to requirements. It's perfectly clean and functional (if a bit unexciting).

basic hairdryer (Britannia)
This has been tucked inside my suitcase for many years, as an "emergency backup" – but nowadays, I'm too poor to travel! And I never have the patience to blow-dry my hair anyway.

Free:
(slighly lopsided) cushion (Britannia)
Like a silly fool, I washed this without first removing the cover ... so the batting inside has got all mis-shapen. If you don't mind your cushion being slightly lumpy, it's comfy and attractive. Almost 2 ft long.

schlocky Dan Brown book (Britannia)
I've read it (against my better judgement), and feel no desire to add it to my permanent library. Somebody else can have it now.

Free:
basic backpack (Britannia)
This thing is quite lightweight, and I've replaced it with a sturdier model. Also the zipper on the outer pocket is broken, so I stichted it closed. It's clean and functional, though.

I was asked if an empty bottle of is available. As I’m not allowed to consume alcohol (due to a medical reason - I know, my loss), I have no idea where to turn for such a novelty.
