Free: Old Sky box (Abraham Heights LA1) Withdrawn 5d - As per the photos. Sky box with power cable, scart lead and remote. I think it's the right one; it was in the same box we put the kit in, anyway. All working when put away but it was a while ago! If it needs different connectors, I've a bag of various ones that might fit the bill.

Free: 3 Cardboard boxes, 2 with bottle/can sections (Abraham Heights LA1) Gifted 13d - 3 sturdy cardboard boxes - a shame just to recyle if they can be re-used. Big one still has the 'air pocket' packing and cut out handles. 59cm long, 40cm deep, 47cm high. The other two have the sections for cans/ bottles (sorry, we've drunk the contents :-D). There's also a 4-can holder that fits on lids - handy if you want to carry them somewhere. There's some packaging material with the boxes as well. Photo shows it all really.

Free: Cushion / foam (Abraham Heights LA1) Withdrawn 28d - I used to have 2 fold out foam 'Z chairs' (probably from MFI !!) that turned into single 'beds' to sleep on. The bases are long gone but for some reason I kept the parts that formed the chair backs. As you can see they are slightly pyramidal in shape, and are foam filled with covers that will unzip for washing. They're 25" long, 11 " deep and 9" high at the highest point. I thought I'd chance them on here rather than the tip - one never knows!

Free: Old Talk Talk broadband modem (Abraham Heights LA1) Withdrawn 28d - Modem was working when disconnected a while back to make way for an upgraded one. It's been sitting in a dry attic so should be fine. If it can be of any use to anyone that'd be great!

Free: BT Vision Box (Abraham Heights LA1) Gifted 48d - As per pictures. Working as far as I know - it belonged to someone else in my family and they changed systems. Hopefully it can be of use to someone :-)

Free: SKY+ HD box (Abraham Heights LA1) Gifted 48d - This has been in the attic for a few years at least. As far as I know it was working when taken out. 'Bout all I can say!

Free: Unusual shape clock - works - but read on! (Abraham Heights LA1) Gifted 64d - Very pretty blue alarm clock with an unusual holographic type face. I know it works because it ticks and the second hand moves - but only when it's face down...not very practical! I'm hoping someone will know how to fix it and get some use from it. Sadly, my husband doesn't like ticking clocks or I'd have tried to fix it and keep it!

Free: Miniature lamp (Abraham Heights LA1) Gifted 64d - THIS IS NOW PROMISED Cute 6" high green glass lamp in old fashioned oil lamp style. Base is a little more tarnished than the photo suggests - I don't know what metal it is but it'll probably clean up

Free: Old fashioned brush and mirror set (Abraham Heights LA1) Gifted 64d - Nice condition overall - little bit of the gold colour on mirror handle has worn off, but could be painted. Backing is matching embroidered material with protective plastic cover. Mirror not blemished - it's a bit tricky to photograph!

Free: Various glass jars (Abraham Heights LA1) Withdrawn 67d - Six glass jars with lids. Hope they might be useful for anyone making jam, chutney etc. There are also two Douwe Egbert jars. Lids fit very tightly with good seals built in as shown.

Free: Biscuit tin (Abraham Heights LA1) Gifted 93d - Nice tin, 21x23cm and 5cm deep. Offering before we recycle just in case it can be of use to someone. Sorry, we ate the contents!

Free: modem cable, cable section and fittings (Abraham Heights LA1) Expired 96d - The modem cable is the item in the bag - the label says exactly what it is. There's also a piece of cable and a couple of random fittings.

Free: Small wooden table (Abraham Heights LA1) Gifted 96d - Cute little wooden table with interesting bevel edge to the top. Needs a bit of a rub down or painting but is nice and sturdy. Dimensions: 49cm Tall, top is 50cm x 38cm

Free: 4 bed-drawer handles and headboard fittings (Abraham Heights LA1) Expired 98d - Four solid gold coloured handles with screws. They came with a divan bed with drawers and we never bothered to fit the handles. They have been sealed in their plastic bags so are in perfect condition. Plus two sets of fittings for a headboard/footboard - again we never bothered with either.

Free: Graph paper (Abraham Heights LA1) Expired 98d - Pad of double sided graph paper plus some random sheets. Also the inside pages of an old school book with graph paper on one side and lined paper on the facing page.

Free: Kitchen clock (Abraham Heights LA1) Expired 98d - 'Cracked plate' style kitchen clock. I think the mechanism needs replacing to make it work - or some enterprising person might know how else to fix it. The hands are still fine.

Free: Maths book (Abraham Heights LA1) Expired 98d - As per the photos. It may not be valid for a specific GCSE exam now, but there are a lot of exercises and tests so should hopefully be of use to someone.

Free: Curtain rings for wooden pole (Abraham Heights LA1) Gifted 106d - 36 Curtain rings as per photo in a light wood.

Free: Concertina organiser (Abraham Heights LA1) Gifted 106d - Not much to say! Sections are numbered - hope it can be of use to someone.

Free: Laminate flooring pieces (Abraham Heights LA1) Gifted 210d - UPDATE - I've been asked for a small piece by one person and another wanted the rest for his hall. Despite being chased twice neither have replied so it's being re-posted. I need to move this laminate from my hallway so it's now first come-first served and it needs to go by next Thursday night. Thanks 8 brand new whole pieces of laminate flooring plus other pieces of varying lengths and one or two sections from another colourway as in the photos. The 8 pieces are each 8" (20cm) wide and 50" (127cm) long. The printed codes on the back are: CE EN 14041 Made in Belgium L2 61117265511 if that helps with identifying the make and specific colour. Hopefully there's enough for a small room and maybe the few mis match pieces can be used under furniture or as a contrast. Anyway, would rather try and give it away than it end up in the tip :-) We will give people time to respond.

Free: Conservatory fitting offcuts (Thorpe Bay SS1) Expired 1y - No idea what these are! The two large panel pieces still have plastic protective film.

Free: 2 small pieces tile trim and pole (Thorpe Bay SS1) Expired 1y - Clearing out dad's shed! Two pieces of silver tile / edging trim. One 77cm long, one 67cm long. 1cm deep and 1 cm wide. The pole is 78cm long and 3cm diameter. Not sure what it's from :-)

Free: Glass backing (Thorpe Bay SS1) Expired 1y - Small pice of what I think is sink or oven splashback in white. Needs a bit of a clean from being in the shed but it's not marked or damaged. One side is smooth, the other textured. The dark circles are holes - presumably for fittings. Panel is 63.5cm x 45.5 cm - third photo shows the depth - approx 1cm deep.

Free: Catalogue agents document wallet (Abraham Heights LA1) Expired 1y - Do you remember Freemans catalogues?! I was an agent for a short time. Found this in my attic clearout. Some decent pockets in it so might be of use to someone to keep papers tidy. Worth a shot before consigning to the tip.
