Free: Roman blinds (2) (Kenilworth CV8) Expired - These are chain operated Roman blinds, the kits were from John Lewis and the pale blue linen type fabric was added by us - they are lined (roman blinds need a backing material to work properly). Three roman rods per blind. Sizes: 1265mm wide by 935mm drop and 1050mm wide by 935mm drop but if you were to replace the fabric, they could be extended by about another 100 - 150 mm as not all the cord comes out when we have them down. Seven mounting brackets ( 4 and 3) that need to be screwed up into the top of the window recess. The blinds could be made narrower. Instructions from John Lewis are here: . These are no longer available and are about 7 years old but still work, we have only removed them as we have replaced all our windows and are going for a new solution.

Free: Speakers (faulty) (Kenilworth CV8) Gifted - Philips sound bar CSS2123 and sub woofer. I got this from another freegler and it worked briefly and now there is no sound output. Creative speaker pair. These have sound output from the headphone jack but nothing from the speakers themselves. If you are any good at electronics fault finding and repair these may work again I'm not so I can't find the faults. To go all together.

Free: Pair of sleeping bags (Kenilworth CV8) Gifted - A matched pair of adult sized Vango Wilderness 350 2/3 season mummy shape sleeping bags and the original compression sacks. One is left hand and the other is right hand so if you are a couple they can zip together! Outer is nylon, inner is cotton or poly cotton. Very clean as they were used with cotton liners (not included) although they would probably benefit from a wash as they have been stored for a number of years. To go together as a pair. N.B. they are a purple colour and a not a blue as it looks like in the photographs)

Free: Work Trousers (Kenilworth CV8) Gifted - Site brand holster pocket trousers size 36 waist 32 inside leg. Lots of different pockets. Can be used with site brand knee pads (available from Screwfix and B&Q) in the knee pockets. A bit of paint on them but that doesn't detract from their usability. Only reason I'm getting rid is I've lost a lot of weight and have bought some W32 ones! Literally just washed, that's why they are on the line!

Free: Router lift and Router (Kenilworth CV8) Gifted - 1/2" Performance Power Pro (B&Q;s own brand back in 2002 when it was bought) 1250W Router set up in a router lift which will fit into the extended bed of a (slightly modified) Evolution Rage 5S table saw. A few (blunt - ish) 1/2" router bits and additional pieces included - also a 1/4" collet. Things to note - this is NOT usable as a standard router any longer as parts are missing but what I have are included and in the original carry case. It has also been rewired to require an EXTERNAL control switch (the mechanical parts of the switch mechanism were dicky when it was modified). The table lift elements are a bit hit-and-miss too, there is too much friction in the system and the toothed drive belt slips which causes even more friction as it then lifts unevenly.
