Two Empty, Clean Black Lush Pots (Saint Thomas Ward EX2)
Gifted
53d
- I have a couple of the black Lush pots which you can return to the shop for a free facemask. You need to return five to get the facemask, and I think they've also introduced a scheme where you can return a pot and get 50p off your next purchase, so if anyone collects the pots and would like two more you're welcome to them.

Standard Lamp, "Fish Eye" bulbs (Saint Thomas Ward EX2)
Gifted
126d
- Tall, free-standing floor lamp. It's called "fish eye", I think referring to how the bulbs look in the sockets as the bulbs are just regular ones. It has three bulbs which have some limited movement to allow you to alter their direction. It plugs into a regular plug socket, and has an on/off switch as part of the cord that you can leave on the floor, allowing you to press it with your foot to turn it on and off. We've had this for several years and rarely use it so hopefully someone else will appreciate it. It comes with all three bulbs, which as you can see from the photo all work and are reasonably bright.

Pack of 4 Unused Screw Cap Lightbulbs (Saint Thomas Ward EX2)
Gifted
167d
- After having a couple of light fittings replaced we now have unneeded bulbs. These are 60 watt traditional lightbulbs with ES/E27 screw cap fittings. They're dimmable and would probably be good for a lamp too. A pack of four, new and still in the box.

Energy-Saving Lightbulbs, Bayonet B22 (Saint Thomas Ward EX2)
Gifted
167d
- After having a couple of light fittings replaced we now have unneeded bulbs. These are 11 watt, equal to 60 watt, energy-saving non-dimmable 600 lumens bulbs with a B22 bayonet fitting. One is new in its packaging - the packaging has been cut open but the bulb hasn't been taken out. The other two bulbs came from our old light fitting so have been used, but since these bulbs literally last for years they still work and should have plenty of life left.

Large Sturdy Cardboard Box with Lid (Saint Thomas Ward EX2)
Gifted
167d
- This is about 86cm long, 43cm wide, and 34cm high. It has a separate cardboard lid that can be lifted on or off. It's strong and well-made, so seems a shame to chuck it if someone can make use out of it. You could make a small child's den/playhouse, or use it for storage - maybe spray paint it or cover it in coloured paper/découpage. It might be sturdy enough as a seat for a younger or lighter child, and you could store toys in it. Or you could hide your Christmas presents in it! It would be good for moving house or for storing lighter but bulky items, such as pillows and blankets. If no one wants it I'll put it out for recycling Tuesday night.

EMPTY Clear Glass Skull Bottle (Saint Thomas Ward EX2)
Gifted
204d
- I'm using a photo of the bottle from the Amazon page because it's easier, but the bottle is definitely empty :) It's a 500ml glass skull-shaped bottle, quite well-made and has the cork. The only markings are on the back, the front is plain. With Hallowe'en coming up I thought someone might want it before it goes to the bottle bank!

Working VAX Vacuum Cleaner for Hard Floors (Saint Thomas Ward EX2)
Gifted
238d
- This is a VAX Air Reach U90-MA-Re upright bagless vacuum cleaner. Unfortunately the beater brush/bar is broken, so it doesn't do as well on carpets - we have carpet plus pets so once the beater brush broke it didn't pick up as much from the carpet, though it still did a reasonable job. It works fine for hard floors such as tile, vinyl, wood, laminate etc as you don't need a beater bar for that so I thought I'd offer it to anyone who can make use out of it. I've included photos of the broken beater brushbar in case anyone wants to try to replace it. I've tried but unfortunately I've only found the grooved brushbar, and this is a toothed one! It comes with a crevice tool and an upholstery tool, which slot together so they can be clipped to the back of the vacuum for storage. The long handle detaches from the main body so you can attach it to the hose, allowing you to reach high areas like ceilings. I have the manual to go with it, too.

Lengths of Wood (Saint Thomas Ward EX2)
Gifted
246d
- Reasonable condition, I think they were salvaged from a past project and could easily be used again. They've been stored inside so no damp or rot. I think the wood is probably pine. If you want to know measurements just message me, I think they're probably about 50cm but that's just a rough guess as I didn't have a tape measure handy! I also have another piece of wood, thicker and maybe 2 metres long, if anyone's interested.

Wicker Hanging Basket (Saint Thomas Ward EX2)
Gifted
357d
- Wicker hanging basket with plastic liner. Maybe 30cm in diameter, I can measure if anyone wants me to. It has three chains attached to a hook for hanging - these are a bit rusty but only on the surface, the chains are sturdy enough (and a soak in citric acid or vinegar will help to remove the rust). It's had plants in it for the past couple of years, and now they've all died I thought someone else might like it!

Empty Roll-On Deodorant Stick Tube (Saint Thomas Ward EX2)
Expired
1y
- I'm thinking of making my own moisturising roll-on balm and wondered if anyone had an empty roll-on deodorant container hanging around? Something similar to the picture but obviously it can be an empty one of any brand as I'll clean it out and re-use it. I don't drive so if you're around the city centre/Quay/St Thomas area that would be great :)

Double Duvet Cover, Cotton (Saint Thomas Ward EX2)
Gifted
1y
- 100% cotton double duvet cover (200cm by 200cm) with a zip fastening. It has a picture of a crow/raven against a full moon. The reverse is plain black. It's in good clean condition and from a smoke-free home. Having been folded on a shelf for a while it could do with an iron, if that matters to you. I find that once it's on the bed the wrinkles smooth out fairly quickly. There are a pair of matching pillowcases, too. One is fine, the other somehow has a small T-shaped tear in it - maybe it caught on something in the washing machine? It could be repaired as none of the fabric is actually missing, just torn (see photos). If you want one or both pillowcases you are welcome to them, too.

Mighty Oven Cleaner (Saint Thomas Ward EX2)
Gifted

- Liquid oven cleaner - might be just the thing if you're looking to blitz your oven after Christmas! The bottle has been opened and partially used, but there's still about three-quarters left. The plastic bags for your racks and grills are unopened and as new. I tried to take a good photo of the instructions written on the bottle.

Framed Lioness and Cub Photo (Saint Thomas Ward EX2)
Gifted
1y
- Lovely photo of a lioness and her cub, seemingly taken at night. I tried to get some good pictures without getting reflections on the glass. Wooden frame with gold-coloured inlay. Medium-sized, maybe about 30cm or so (I can measure if interested). Has a loop on the back for hanging.

Framed Lion Picture (Saint Thomas Ward EX2)
Gifted

- Quite small (about 20/25cm long, I can measure if anyone's interested). No glass in the frame which makes it very light, great if your wall isn't very strong! Has a hoop on the back for hanging.

Tea set, 4 cups and teapot (Saint Thomas Ward EX2)
Gifted
1y
- Four teacups (I only took two out of the cupboard for the photo but the other two are identical) with a delicate blue flower pattern and a matching teapot. Good clean condition, just a bit dusty due to sitting unused in the cupboard for years. I thought someone could put them to better use.

Black Cotton Fitted Sheets, Double (Saint Thomas Ward EX2)
Gifted
1y
- Three black fitted sheets for a standard double bed. 100% cotton. Good condition, one I think was only used once - they were for a mattress that's much deeper than standard, so were swapped for deeper sheets. Or with Hallowe'en coming up maybe they could be used as tablecloths for a party, or perhaps used to make a costume. Have one or have all three. They're clean, they've been sat folded on a shelf for a while so just a bit creased! From a smoke-free home.

Rosemary Branches (Saint Thomas Ward EX2)
Expired
1y
- I'm going to trim my rosemary plant and will have more than I can use. It'll be a shame for it to go to waste, so if anyone wants some I can cut some fresh and put it outside for you to collect. You also can dry it and store it for winter (I've done this but there'll be too much for me to use), or if you fancy your own plant you can try propagating one from a cutting.

Small Stainless Steel Chain (Saint Thomas Ward EX2)
Expired
1y
- From a keychain where the clip broke off - the chain itself is pretty strong and sturdy. It's about 25cm long and the links are maybe 1cm wide. Thought someone might find a use for it in crafts or DIY. I can take a photo and more accurate measurements if anyone's interested.

Glass bottle garden tea lights (Saint Thomas Ward EX2)
Gifted
1y
- Blueish glass bottles that lift off the metal base so you can put a tealight in. They have chains attached to the base with a hook so you can hang them if you want. Sorry for the bad picture, whenever I wanted to take a photo of them it's been raining! The glass is smooth, not bobbly - that's just the raindrops. There's a bit of rust on the metal bits as they've been outside since last year, but the glass is in good condition and once lit you won't notice if the metal's less than perfect. Hopefully we'll get enough nice sunny days that someone can enjoy them while sitting outside.

Set of Six Small Drinking Glasses (Saint Thomas Ward EX2)
Gifted
1y
- I didn't bother to pull them all out of the cupboard but there are six glasses in this set, all identical and in great condition - we rarely use them. They're not full-sized glasses, maybe 100-150ml. They'd be good for shots with plenty of ice, or a small drink of fruit juice.
