Free: Playpen for small child (Hillsborough S6) Gifted 27d - Child's play pen. You'll need to "build it", but all the bits are there. I don't have the instructions though, sorry! You might find some on YouTube?? If you are interested, do get in touch. I tend to reply to people who let me know why they'd like it. (ie I may not reply if you just say "Is it available"). There's some more info below. I'm posting it for a friend, who needed to make some space in her living room. The Playpen is lightweight, and the corners are well padded. It's very clean and in excellent condition. It's made by Honey Joy. At the moment it is packed away, but I reckon the dimensions are: Height 65 cm / 26 inches: Width 104 cm / 41 inches : Length 180 cm / 70 inches. I've looked on the internet,but can't see this exact model . I've used a photo from the internet. (and the dimensions of the one in the photo were are 120 cm x 120 cm x 65cm high ) At the bottom I've included a link to a similar one on sale in B&Q. The one I've got will be similar, but smaller.

Free: small chest freezer (Hillsborough S6) Expired 1y - Small Hotpoint chest freezer, 104 litre capacity (probably 8-10 years old?) It's always worked well and still does, but seal round the lid is beginning to fail and I couldn't find a replacement seal. I just remove the worst of the frost build up every now and then. And/or defrost the freezer every 3 or 4 months which is easy. I haven't yet fully defrosted the freezer, so photos show some of the frost at the moment. I need to us the freezer until Wednesday/Thursday this week. External measurements 540mm wide x 600mm deep x 870 mm tall. Internal measurements 430 cm x 465 cm x 510mm deep.
