Free: Nespresso coffee capsules (Barnet HA8) Gifted - Hi there, We no longer have a coffee machine which uses capsules and have around 150 leftover Nespresso compatible capsules to offer. They are from Amazon and come individually wrapped, for freshness. This is a pain when you are in a hurry, so I always opened around 50 at a time (and stored them in an airtight tin for freshness). There are around 100 wrapped and around 50 unwrapped. I don't drink coffee, but my husband can't live without it and he says these taste good! We are in Edgware Town centre, a 7 minute walk from the tube/bus stations. Please say when you can collect. I can leave them in a secure place outside if no-one will be home. Hoping someone can use them as it would be a shame to throw them away.

Request: Espresso machine (Barnet HA8) - Quite some time ago we were given a Krups Nespresso coffee machine from a kind Trash Nothing donor, but sadly it developed a leak and is now leaking so badly that it can no longer be used. My husband cannot function without his regular coffee fix, so we are hoping that perhaps another kind person will have one to offer (maybe after a Christmas present upgrade?) If so we would be so 🙏 grateful to have it, as we are a low income family and our salaries no longer stretch beyond the essentials. We could collect at most times, to suit you, and would definitely not let you down. Hoping that someone can help, Susan 😊 Request: Coffee table and floor lamp (Edgware HA8) Expired - My son is about to begin a Masters Course in Leeds. He will be living in a shared house. His room is large and he would like a coffee table and a floor lamp to create a seating area. If you have either item available he would be very grateful and we could arrange collection at a time/date to suit you. With warm regards, Susan Request: Tumble drier (Edgware HA8) Expired - Hello lovely people, If anyone will soon have a condenser tumble dryer available after 19th September it would be hugely appreciated. We could collect on any day on or after 19th September. Please note that we cannot have a vented drier as it will be situated on an internal wall. Have a lovely day everyone, Susan Request: Tumble drier (Edgware HA8) Expired - Hello lovely people, I now have my Mum living with me. She is 82 years old and has fairly advanced Alzheimer’s Disease and recently has become incontinent. She wears protective underwear, but at night she often removes it, resulting in an awful lot of washing and - just as Autumn/Winter loom, my 23 year old tumble dryer has ‘died’ on me. I have had to give up work to care for Mum and money is now very tight, so If anyone will soon have a condenser tumble dryer available after 19th September it would be hugely appreciated. We could collect on any day on or after 19th September. Please note that we cannot have a vented drier as it will be situated on an internal wall. Have a lovely day everyone, Susan Free: Bath, toilet, shower curtains/rail (Edgware HA8) Expired - We are remodelling our bathroom and our bath is being replaced with a walk-in shower. The bath is five years old. It is a premium quality reinforced bath, which gives it greater rigidity and it has a thicker acrylic layer which makes it warmer. The dimensions are 1700mm x700mm (170cmx70cm) It is in excellent condition. lt has lost a little of its ‘shine’, but there are no cracks or stains on it and I think a really thorough clean will bring the shine back. No-one has ever used the bath as a bath - it has only ever been used to take showers. Above it is a full length L shaped shower curtain rail and 3 white nylon shower curtains, which when closed create a completely enclosed space. We fitted a replacement toilet less than 2 months ago as ours developed a hairline crack and leaked. Because we knew our fitters were starting work in July we bought the cheapest close-coupled one from B&Q, but actually, it looks quite good. The seat that was supplied was one of those thin, flexible plastic ones that you can pick up very cheaply so you may want to change it for a better quality one, but it is very clean and does the job. Our bathroom fitters will remove these items next week - probably Tuesday or Wednesday, and they will then be placed outside. If you can use any of these items - the bath, the toilet, the curtain rail or the three curtains, please let me know. I would really like someone to use them - they are far too good to go to the tip.

Free: 800 x 900mm shower tray (Edgware HA8) Gifted - Stone resin rectangular shower tray, 800mm x 900mm. This base is very, very strong and also very heavy and I image it would have been expensive. Please note we have stored this shower base for some time so it needs a wipe down, but the condition is excellent. It still has labels attached and has never been used. The base has a none-slip surface which is especially good if there are children or elderly people in the household. Ideally you will need two people to transport this base to your vehicle. This base was gifted to us by a Freecycler, but in the end we decided we wanted a slightly smaller one for our en-suite, so we are hoping to pass it on. We are in the centre of Edgware, 6 or 7 minutes walk from the tube/bus stations - although you will definately need a vehicle to collect this! We are doing renovations and drowning in ‘stuff’, so preference will be given to someone who can collect soon, although we would not expect you to collect in today’s 🥵 extreme heat! Tomorrow we are at home until 2pm, but could leave it outside after that if need be. On Thursday or Friday any time if doable - just let me know when you can come.

Free: Four single duvets (Edgware HA8) Expired - Four single duvets, all 10.5 - 13.5 tog. They are all filled with microfibre and easily washed in a washing machine. I am happy for you collect as many as you need. We are having renovations done and have ‘stuff’ everywhere, so preference will be given to anyone who can collect soon - though not necessarily today, in this extreme heat 🥵! We are a 6-7 minute walk from Edgware tube/bus stations. Free: Single mattress topper (Edgware HA8) Gifted - This is a thick foam single-sized mattress topper that was on our spare bed. We have now swopped the bed for a small double, so this clean, unstained topper is surplus to requirements. It is a really comfortable topper and has ventilation holes so that you stay nice and cool. We are renovating at the moment and have stuff everywhere, so preference will be given to whoever can collect soon - though not necessarily today, in this extreme heat🥵 (unless you are desperate). We are a 6-7 minute walk from Edgware tube/bus stations, though you would probably want to collect by car.

Free: Beautiful porcelain tiles (Edgware HA8) Gifted - I have 5.22 square metres of 300 x 600mm porcelain tiles. These are premium quality tiles suitable for walls or floors. They are a very pale creamy beige with a very subtle marbling effect and have a gloss finish, which reflects the light beautifully. The tiles were left over from a neighbour’s bathroom renovation and gifted to us. Sadly there are not enough for our needs and they are now discontinued. I would say there may be enough to half tile the walls of a small cloakroom toilet, or to do the floor and fully tile one wall. Please use an online calculator to calculate how many square metres you need (the Topps Tiles website has a good one) as I would hate you to collect these very heavy tiles and then find there are not enough - as we did! We are having renovations done and have stuff everywhere, so preference will be given to someone who can collect soon. We are 6-7 minutes walk from the tube/bus stations in Edgware, although you will definately need a vehicle to collect these!

Free: Storage jars (Edgware HA8) Gifted - 2 carrier bags of various sized empty glass jars, all thoroughly cleaned and labels removed. Includes 3 or 4 ‘Kilner’ type clip jars. We are having renovations done and drowning in a sea of ‘stuff’, so would like these to be collected asap. Please say when you could come. Given the heat I would not expect anyone to come today - unless you are desperate for jars of course! We are in the centre of Edgware 6-7 minutes walk from the tube/bus stations.
