Old woodworking tools (Old birchills WS2 8) 11d - Hello! Does anyone have any old woodworking tools that are going to waste? I have a few things I'd like to make and have found my 2 chisels and old plane not quite cutting it. I'd like to make a wooden box for my sons memory things which are currently in a cardboard box which doesn't feel very special. I'd also like to carve 2 decorative wooden ends to solve a problem with my kitchen shelving. And finally I'd like to be able to make my daughters some wooden toys that are a bit finer than the rough ones I can make now. I'm interested in anything anyone has to offer but particularly the following: Planes Spokeshaves Draw knife Chisels and gauges Files and rasps A wooden mallet (though I could make one if I could find a sharpening stone) >>Sharpening stones<< Clamps A tenon saw or one of those snazzy Japanese hand saws but I think that's on my save-up-for-that list. I have a drill and drill bits, a tenon gauge, bow saw, coping saw, ruler.... Pencils, string with a stone on, and paper with right angle corners haha, so don't need those but would be a dream come true if anyone had any of the other bits to gift. Thank you in advance, Faye.

Milk kefir grains (Old birchills WS2 8) Gifted 11d - Does anyone want any milk kefir grains? They're clean and fed daily/every other day with non organic whole milk, sometimes a little cream depending on how I want the kefir. It's a bioactive culture that you add to milk and leave for a day to ferment. It makes a thin, sour (think lemon juice sour, not off milk sour) yogurt that is slightly fizzy. The yogurt can be eaten as is, blended with flavours or strained to make various types of cheese, and whey which can also be used in recipes if you're organised enough for it! I probably have enough grains for about 4 people right now, but will have more in the future as they grow quickly!

Oval foldaway table (Old birchills WS2 8) Gifted 37d - Small foldaway table, folds very thin for storage. Has a few paint spots and needs a screw tightening in one of the feet. Still good for someone?

Pregnacare multivitamins (Old birchills WS2 8) Gifted 37d - Still in date. Some probably no good as the foil seal has split from being squashed in a box but there's still plenty there. At least a few weeks worth. Meant for taking in pregnancy.

Silver cross pioneer bassinet (Old birchills WS2 8) Gifted 104d - The bassinet attachment to the silver cross pioneer pram. Doesn't have hood or apron as currently in use. Have no room to store.

4/5/6 years warm clothes (Old birchills WS2 8) Expired 104d - Warm gloves/ski Mittens, fleeces, real wool jumper/cardigans, thick socks, thermal layers. Waterproof and warm shoes in child size 10 or 11. Bodywarmer/gillet or sleeveless jacket. Daughter finding it hard to keep warm whenever we go out with normal gloves etc. Just ends up crying asking to go home, making it hard to get out the house. Trying to find ways of keeping her warm but still easy to move. Can't afford to keep trying things only for them to not be OK. Don't mind boy or girl colours. Thank you in advance.

12-18 month baby clothes (Old birchills WS2 8) Expired 104d - Long sleeve vests, short sleeve vests, long sleeve tops, comfy joggers, cardigans/fleeces, socks all needed. Not tonnes but a 4-7 of each if anyone has any going spare? Boy or girl though preferably no mickey mouse or peppa pig. Don't mind marks or bobbling etc, prefer not stretched necks though as they'd slip down baby's shoulders. Thank you.

Silver cross pioneer bassinet (Old birchills WS2 8) Expired 142d - The bassinet attachment to the silver cross pioneer pram. Doesn't have hood or apron as currently in use. Have no room to store.

Mothercare urban detour jogger pram (Old birchills WS2 8) Gifted 142d - Great pram, easy to push, carries lots. BUT it's been put into storage without being cleaned first and has developed mould. This isn't the black mould but rather mould of godknowswhat left by a toddler who spent a lot of time out and about in this. Last photo shows after a wipe the mould comes off and I could have done this to the whole thing but wanted it to be transparent what you'd be getting. It's had its hood replaced, if not your thing the hood element can be taken off to be used as a hoodless stroller. All fabric elements can be taken off and washed without the metal, just by undoing a few screws underneath. Tyres are good when last used, need inflating again now, have been filled with goo stuff to prevent punctures. Wear to the basket but still usable. Breaks work amazingly, no real damage to the infilstructure of the pram itself. Just needs a good clean and maybe some soft bits replaced if you want it to be really neat.

Old manduca baby carrier (Old birchills WS2 8) Gifted 148d - Not good condition, probably only useful for it's buckles etc. Might be good for someone making their own carrier or rucksack? All buckles work very well.

Single and small double mattresses (Old birchills WS2 8) Expired 151d - Has anyone got a single mattress and a small double mattress going? Would like to be in OK condition as for the kids.

Scented candles giftable (Old birchills WS2 8) Gifted 154d - 4 scented candles, unused. We're gifted to me and I'd love to use them but I'm too forgetful to have candles lit in a house with 2 small children. One very small dink in the corner of the cardboard box but doesn't distract.

Couple of succulents (Old birchills WS2 8) Gifted 154d - Echeveria and couple of other small succulents, need tlc as we're given to me with mealy bug and I don't have the time to fix.

Child car seat (Old birchills WS2 8) Gifted 154d - Think it's meant to fit from about 2 until not requiring a seat as it adapts and bits can be taken off to make it a booster seat. Don't drive so takes up too much space for how much it gets used (never!)

Infant car seat (Old birchills WS2 8) Gifted 154d - Infant car seat with base, don't drive so doesn't get used.

Infantino baby carrier (Old birchills WS2 8) Gifted 154d - Cheap baby carrier, does forward facing. Barely used.

Wood for shelves (Old birchills WS2 8) Expired 195d - Anyone got any planks or shelves to be given away, mine are very tatty reclaimed wood and looking to try improve appearances with little money! Thank you!

Garden shrubs/bushes/plants (Old birchills WS2 8) Expired 195d - Hello, kindly asking for any unwanted garden shrubs/bushes or plants. If you're planning on splitting or digging up any this winter please keep me in mind. Garden is just dry soil and looking very sad. Worried landlord will be unhappy. Kind regards

Twin tub washing machine (Old birchills WS2 8) Gifted 269d - Feeling sad to give this away but being unused in storage for years now and need the space. Really amazing machine, washes very quick and very well, spins dry better than any front loader I've used. Gravity drain, not been tested since last used. Needs a good clean but used to do this regularly when we used it and doesn't take long with a dish brush and some bubbly water. Collection from WS2 8QL.

Dolls house accessories (Old birchills WS2 8) Expired 285d - Wanting some dolls house bits for my daughters 4th birthday in August, if anyone has any going unloved. Her dad has bought her some sylvanian family characters and a house but it has no furniture and no clothes/food/plates/books/other accessories that would make playing fun. Unfortunately he's spent the budget on the house and characters! Anything small/ dollhouse size would be really loved. Thank you in advance.

Baby clothes 6-9 9-12 (Old birchills WS2 8) Gifted 336d - Bag of baby clothes approx ages 6-12 months, some smaller some bigger. Both boy and girl. We're my 1st daughters but going through after storage to clear out and most have slight to moderate yellow stains (as far as I remember these do wash out OK, but definately not great condition) and vests have more stretched necks than ideal. Some bits completely fine just doesn't feel right for 2nd daughter. Maybe worth sticking through a good wash cycle and seeing what's worth keeping and what needs to be sent to fabric recycling at a charity shop.

Pond plant cuttings (Old birchills WS2 8) Expired 349d - Any small cuttings of oxygenators, marginal plants, pond reeds and grasses or bog plants. Finally set up a pond at the allotment and want it to attract as much wildlife as possible. Been gifted a lily and some oxygenator weed on here already and very thankful. Would love some plants to create edges for frogs to hide in.

Tall bar stool (Old birchills WS2 8) Expired 355d - I have a baby in a sling who wants me stood up ALL the time. 3 months later and my knees are painful from not being able to sit down. I'd love a stool to perch on without waking the baby. My kitchen is tiny so the only space available is already taken by a compost bin about 1foot high. Interested in any stool with 4 legs though.
