Request: Blankets (double bed) (Rusthall TN4) 1d - Following a recent stay in hospital, I’ve fallen in love with having sheets and blankets on the bed, and want to ditch our duvet in favour of the traditional bedding of my childhood. Does anyone have any blankets for a double bed that they no longer use please? We could collect daytime or evening this week. (Due to my husband’s allergies they’d need to be from a smoke-free and pet-free home.) Free: UGG boots (Rusthall TN4) 3d - Genuine UGG boots, size 5. Used inside as slippers (never worn outside). Well worn but still plenty of life left in them (though one sole needs gluing).

Thank you Helen Request: Non slip bath mat (Rusthall TN4) Received 6d - Does anyone have a non slip bath mat they no longer want please, as I’d like to use one to give me more confidence getting in and out of the bath following a very recent unexpected surgery.

Request: Duvet (Rusthall TN4) Received 52d - Does anyone have a lightweight (summer) duvet they no longer want please?

Thank you Free: DVD player (Rusthall TN4) Gifted 67d - In good working order. Remote control is temperamental as the batteries corroded; cleaning the contacts should help. (Photo of my hand to give you an idea is the size of the player.)
