Working power drill (Staple Hill BS16) 8d - No bells/whistles needed... am looking for one that I can affix a mixer blade to for mixing clay slip and glazes, so all it needs to do is spin.

Mid-century upcycling project (Staple Hill BS16) Gifted 29d - Fantastic upcycling/restoration project. Vast majority of the sanding has been done to reveal the original beechwood frame. 1940s/50s (estimate) Seat cushion is comfy. Back will need padding. Joints would benefit from dismantling and re-gluing. Particular weak spots have been photographed. Please propose collection time when replying.

I won't have time to enter into long discussions, given that there are potentially 9 separate items to gift and will not reply at all to requests not proposing collection time. Sorry if that sounds a bit grumpy but I'm quite busy presently and have had a few frustrating experiences here in the past. Time for some boundaries!

Carpet (Staple Hill BS16) Gifted 1y - Large, single piece of cream/taupe-coloured pile carpet. Condition is pretty good, really. Pile depth is roughly 0.8-1.0 cm (guessing). No stains/marks. With a shampoo, I suspect it would look much brighter (we've been in the house about a year and have never shampoo'd it... I don't think the prior owners did it before moving out, either). There is a photo showing identical carpet still on the floor in the bedroom. Dimensions are 3.94m long, by 2.59 wide, with an indent to accommodate a chimney breast (width at that bit reduces to 2.28m. There is foam underlay in three pieces that went underneath the carpet. It's in pretty good condition and surprisingly clean. Small holes where it was stapled to the floorboards (see pic with example of hole circled). Collection preferred. You'll need a sizeable boot or ideally a hatchback at minimum.

Vacuum for parts - Morphy Richards (Staple Hill BS16) Gifted 1y - Morphy Richards Ulatralight Cyclone 1500W It does run, but we're fairly sure we saw/smelled a bit of smoke from it when used the other day, so strongly recommend it be used for parts or else professionally repaired.

Empty trade-sized plastic paintpots (Staple Hill BS16) Expired 1y - Keen to source 5 or so large (minimum 10-litre) empty plastic paint pots with well-fitting lids. I need to be able to get them perfectly clean (will use them for mixing/storingpottery glazes), so would presumably need to have contained water-based paint. Happy to collect, of course. Cheers, Robyn

Ikea Aneboda wardrobes (2) (Staple Hill BS16) Gifted 1y - Can go as a pair or one only Condition fair/good. 180cm tall, 81cm wide, 50cm deep Shelf and hanging rail (with fixings) all there. Some minor damage (can share pix on request - for some reason the app keeps rearranging the photos so the full-size pic of the wardrobes is not the first shot, so I've deleted the others showing the specific littlebits of damage): Minor scratching to inside edge of the doors (where the cat used to open them to let herself into the wardrobe!); Small scratch in the coŕugated plastic panel; Some damage to the feet - these can easily just be removed... they're not at all essential to the wardrobes.) Collection only. Please note you'll need to take them by hand along a path about 30m or so to the street. Definitely a two-person job unless you have a hand-truck. Latest pick up - due to path being unlit - 7.30pm

Open back (other than the bottom shelf) Collection only.

Amuse puss (Staple Hill BS16) Gifted 1y - She prefers to be amused by demanding that her staff sing and dance for her (actually, truth be told I've always suspected she'd prefer we gave the singing a miss...). So it might as well go to a more appreciative pet. Collection only. NB having a bit of a reorganise and have other (furniture) items listed, too... take a look!

LAST CHANCE Roller blind w/ fixings (Staple Hill BS16) Gifted 1y - It'll be a real shame to send this to landfill. Much better quality than many cheaper versions and a pretty easy fix for its one flaw. 147 long 171.5 wide 23cm from bottom there are some marks towards the left-hand side. One photo highlights the marks. On the full-blind photo you can see where they are located. If you trimmed that section off and sewed a new sleeve for the baton, the rest of the blind is like new. The beady chain thing and the brackets to fix it to the wall are metal (not flimsy plastic). Collection only.

Cat toy BS16 (Staple Hill BS16) Gifted 1y - Re-listing this as the person who responded earlier did not collect. Got this toy via freecycle and for a while she played with it. Now she's a bit bored and will only give it the occasional swat if I madly flick the balls round and round (and I suspect she's only doing that to humour me). The balls can be taken out for cleaning/dusting. It's in great nick. My cat's just high maintenance and easily bored!! Have put it on the doorstep at 23 Southernhay. Feel free to collect.
