2 pairs of pyjamas and 1 pair of socks- age 4-5yrs (Fords Farm RG31)
2 pairs of pyjamas - by George - interchangeable designs. Label says age 4-5. Socks have no size label but are definitely SMALL. Presumably also age 4-5 as they were all kept as 'spares' for visits of grandchildren and barely worn.

Cordless vacuum - broken ? (Emmbrook RG41)
Battery operated bagless stick vacuum from Aldi. About 2 years old. It made a few strange noises and then the roller on brush head didn't go round as freely as it should. I was given my money back but they didn't want the appliance. Maybe someone else will. Works perfectly on solid, laminate style flooring but takes more effort than it should on carpet. Even has a light on it so you can clean dark corners and you don't have to hold the trigger all the while you are cleaning. Possibly easy to fix if you know how but it does clean ( although not as well as a Dyson). Please say why you would like it. I will leave the offer open for a few days so that the first person to respond won't necessarily be the one that gets it.
