Free: Venturer landline telephone (Fords Farm RG31) Was used as an extension handset upstairs. Rarely needed but working. Has instruction manual and cable to plug it in to a wall socket (or your router if you are moving to VoIP, as I will be soon). No longer needed.

Free: 6 small metal pots with Chinese decoration (Fords Farm RG31) Each tin is 6cms x 4cms x4cms and are still in the original plastic box. The tins contained different Chinese teas which, sadly, I did not use. The tea is still in the tins but the best before date is 31-12-2017 so the tins might only be suitable for storage/ display?

Free: Gadget for removing air from a vacuum storage bag (Fords Farm RG31) No longer have the vacuum bag. Long shot this as the gadget has an internal thread which presumably matches the fitting on the original bag? ... or could it be universal to all similar bags? Worth a offer, otherwise it will end up in landfill. :

Free: Golden Book of Modern English Poetry 1870-1920 (Fords Farm RG31) VERY old hardback poetry book - (see pic 3 for 1926 inscription by a previous owner!) No loose pages. Text all clear except for a vertical lines against couple of verses in one (or two?) poems. Spine fell off - it was temporarily stuck back on for photo 4 - so charity shops or libraries would probably just pulp it. Would anyone on here like it?

Plain grey/ blue one originally held hard contact lens solutions. Patterned grey one originally held cosmetics. Red one originally held some mini tools. All no longer needed but seems a shame to put them in the bin.

Free: Small quantity of concrete and stone -potential hardcore? (Fords Farm RG31) 3 large pieces of concrete which were dug out of a flower bed where nothing would grow well: must have been dumped there by builders when the house was built!?

Free: Electric fire (Fords Farm RG31) Old and a bit dusty and some rusting on the reflector plate so not really suitable for use in a living area. However the original fraying cable was replaced with new not long ago, so it's now safe to use. Has been used since then in a garage/ workshop. Just no longer needed.

Free: siphon for Armitage Shanks Sandringham 21 Close Coupled WC (Fords Farm RG31) If you understand the OFFER description you will know if you can use it! It has hardly been used. It did not flush as well as I hoped in my new en suite shower room and it was reluctantly replaced by the supplier who argued it was an installation fault (the plumber insisted it was faulty). Actually the replacement isn't any better so there was probably nothing wrong with it. I have just learnt to live with the disappointment! Reposted due to a failed collection arrangement.

Free: Selection of door 'furniture' items for an external door (Fords Farm RG31) 3 door handle rose covers and 4 lock escutcheons and 1 hinge ... all kept as spares for a door which has now been replaced, plus the lock, handles, keeper and keys from the original door (no additional keys have been cut). Can anyone use them? Reposted due to earlier unsuccessful enquiry.

Free: Carpet offcuts for weed suppression (Fords Farm RG31) 2 small pieces only. 49insx 27ins and 26ins x 17ins. A bit grubby from being used and stored in the garage but fine for weed suppression in a small area (or other such use!) Brush is in the photo just for scale. Reposted due to earlier unsuccessful enquiry...

Free: Broken lampshade (Fords Farm RG31) Withdrawn Plastic lampshade. 5ins wide at top and 10 ins wide at bottom. Bulb holder can be positioned for use as a table lamp or a ceiling lamp. Lampshade itself is undamaged but the bulb holder has sheared off one side (see pic 2). I tried to repair it using a) araldite b) duct tape c) solder but none would hold! Destined for landfill unless someone with access to a welder wants to try to repair it?

Free: Potted plants - african violets and spider plants (Fords Farm RG31) Gifted See photos. Help!! Many of these plants need splitting/ repotting but whenever I do that I end up with twice as many plants and I am running out of window sills and shelves to accomodate them all! African violets are mostly white and a few are purple. Would anyone like to relieve me of some of these? ....please!

Free: upright fridge freezer (Fords Farm RG31) Gifted THIS IS STILL AVAILABLE due to several interested takers not following their enquiry through to collection. In full working order (although one of the drawers fronts has some minor cosmetic damage) ... BUT ... you might prefer not want to use it in your kitchen. It was accidentally switched off by a workman with the freezer full of food. This mistake was not discovered until the food had all defrosted and begun to rot. It has been fully defrosted and cleaned but the smell in the freezer is still lingering. It is fine until you open the freezer door so it might be more suitable for an outhouse/ shed etc or or for items which wouldn't be affected by the smell.... or you could just use the fridge section? If interested please confirm that you are fully aware of the fact that the lingering smell might make it unsuitable for household use.

Free: Dishwasher salt bags (25kgs size) - empty (Fords Farm RG31) Withdrawn All empty. Was collecting them for taking garden rubbish etc to the tip but now have that collected at the kerbside so they are no longer needed. Stronger than black bags or compost bags. Is there anyone who might find them useful e.g. for transporting rubble from a small DIY project for disposal? ... or some other use?

Free: 2ft long masonry drill bit (Fords Farm RG31) Gifted Can anyone find a use for this giant drill bit? I don't know where it came from! Was it left in my garage by a previous owner? ... or left behind by a workman or a builder? I kept it for years 'just in case I might find a use for it' (but I never did)! Probably needs to go to the tip but not worth making a journey just for one item.

Free: 2 empty wooden boxes (Fords Farm RG31) Gifted Spectacles not included in photo - just shown to indicate scale. After the original contents were eaten the boxes were used for storing pens and nick-nacks but no longer needed. Can anyone find a use for them?

Free: Siemens Gigaset A585 landline phone (Fords Farm RG31) Gifted Has all necessary cables. Instruction book temporarily mislaid.

Free: Floor tile adhesive GREY (Fords Farm RG31) Gifted Left over from a recent job - tiling the floor in a fireplace. 20kg was an excessive amount purchased by the tiler for such a small job but we'd paid for it so he left it behind!! Has been stored indoors in a plastic bag so should still be fine to use.
