Free: Child's pink spacehopper (Loughborough Junction SE5) Expired 133d - This spacehopper has not been used for many, many years and has no air left in it, but my daughter used it when she was quite young and we don't think it has any holes, so it should inflate. It doesn't have a valve so you don't need a special pump, probably just strong lungs. The stopper keeps the air in effectively. The word on it in yellow is "bounce". I have rinsed the dust off it, but it could do with a clean. Looks dirtier in real life than in the photos.

Free: 10 pieces laminate flooring (Loughborough Junction SE5) Gifted 148d - Brown wood effect, 10 pieces about 138 x 20 cm each. See photo - distorted by the camera, the pieces are like ordinary straight planks, the same width at both ends! They were used by our daughter for tap dancing practice so are not in brand new condition and some have black marks that would need washing off.

Free: Language course book and CDs (Loughborough Junction SE5) Gifted 182d - This is the French Experience 1, from 2003. The cover of the book is badly damaged, but the inside is sound and clean. I used it for teaching and didn't write on it. The CDs are in the original box. They are a mix of originals and copies, but cover all the material between them.

Free: Large 1970s Liberty print curtains (Loughborough Junction SE5) Gifted 272d - These were hand made and are different sizes to fit the original window arrangement, but are otherwise in very similar condition. The material is sound overall, although each curtain has some damage near one edge. They were last dry cleaned 5 years ago. See photos for pattern and damage. The smaller one has a drop of 256 cms, or 251 from the bottom of the tape and is 254 cms wide. The larger one has a drop of 259 cms, 253 from the bottom of the tape, and is 210 cms wide. The pattern repeats every 44 cms. They are heavy and bulky. Would need to be transported by car, in large bike panniers or possibly in a large rucksack.

Free: 1970s curtains (Loughborough Junction SE5) Gifted 272d - These are made in a quite thick woven material, and are unlined. They are old and heavy and have not been cleaned for at least 10 years. When I tried to hand wash one of them it started to disintegrate, so I stopped. However, they are mostly sound, if dusty. As they were custom made each is a slightly different size. The wider one has a rip near the right edge and some staining to the top (see first three photos). The narrower one has slight damage near the right edge and a bit more damage near the left (remaining photos). Narrower curtain 205 x 166 cms, wider curtain 217 x 198 cms. Pattern repeat every 60 cm.
