Two very large strong cardboard boxes (Woodmancote GL11)
Two huge boxes which had furniture in. Useful for removals, or posting/returning large items. Would probably be big enough to post a bicycle. Dimensions: 107cm (42”) x 143 (56) x 33 (13”) and 108cm (42”) x 59 (23) x 49 (19) Collect from Dursley but will need a fairly large car unless you fold the boxes first

Wheelie suitcase (Woodmancote GL11)
Expired
Grey Stag suitcase with extending handle & wheels. Clean & in good order except for the hard shell, which has crumbled a bit inside the still-intact front cover. Medium sized & holds quite a lot. Dog for scale but note he’s a really big dog!

Tempered glass screen protector for iPad Pro 11 inch (2018-) (Woodmancote GL11)
I have three unused screen protectors which should fit iPad Pro 11 inch tablets from 2018 - but not the 2024 M4 one. They should also fit a 10.9 inch tablet as long as the camera is at the top (ie portrait top). One is the 'papered' type texture, the other two are toughened glass. The first one I used lasted so long that I never needed these other ones!

Bluetooth keyboard for tablet (Woodmancote GL11)
Promised
Backlit Bluetooth keyboard. Has an 11 inch tablet case but can be connected to any Bluetooth device that needs a keyboard, I think. I used it with an iPad and also my phone. Battery is OK and the size is about enough to type comfortably on unless you've got really big hands! Has its own internal battery which lasts several days. A little dusty but in good condition.

Small aquarium with light & heater (Woodmancote GL11)
Expired
34 litre (nano) Fluval Flex tank with bowed front and lid. Faint scratches but clean. Watertight but I would re-seal it to be on the safe side. Not suitable for goldfish or bigger fish but ideal for shrimp, tropical snails or tiny fish

Cabinet for aquarium (Woodmancote GL11)
Expired
Black cabinet with cupboard and drawer, reinforced for use as an aquarium stand. 40x60cm base, about 70cm tall. Good condition

Sea beans (Woodmancote GL11)
Gifted
Sea hearts, hamburger beans - these are drift seeds with very hard shells that can be polished (even in a rock tumbler) and used in craft projects. Often thought lucky. I had some for making key fobs etc and these didn’t get used. Need a good home!

Tiny bronze herb sickle (Woodmancote GL11)
Gifted
Small plain sickle for collecting mistletoe, herbs etc. Doesn’t get used & needs a new home. Part of my ‘why am I hanging on to all these oddments’ belated spring clean...

Large piece of white hardboard with backing frame (Woodmancote GL11)
Gifted
Clean new piece of white hardboard 810mm x 1395mm (32x55”). This was the back panel of a flat pack wardrobe but I didn’t use it so it’s just a new panel, surplus to requirements. Would be good for mounting a large poster, using as a notice board or of course backing a wardrobe. Not heavy but needs a fair amount of car space.

Free:
Very long, strong cardboard tube (Woodmancote GL11)
Expired
240cm long packaging tube in high density cardboard, quite thick. It was used to mail some fancy beading and could be used for a similar purpose (beading, curtain rail etc) or cut up to provide fun tunnels for ferrets or guinea pigs. If you wanted it in one piece you'd need a medium to large car as it's so long. Photo is a bit rubbish but it's basically quite clean & dry and presumably only used once.

2 White curtain tracks for bay window (Woodmancote GL11)
Expired
2 white curtain tracks with hook hanger things; it's the sort you can bend to fit bay windows. Not a heavy curtain pole: this is lightweight but quite strong, and has nice smooth tracking except on the bay window corners. One has been used (but could be bent to fit a different window) and one hasn't been used. Will also fit a normal window, or could be cut into smaller rails for small windows. There's some unused hooks as well, separate from the tracks.

Walking stick (Woodmancote GL11)
Gifted
White metal walking stick, hospital grade and very strong. Cleaned with 'clear Dettol'. Adjustable and quite comfy to use, you can really lean on it (it was my Mum's, and I have also used it when I sprained my ankle). It's going to waste now and needs a new home. Given the nature of the thing I'm prepared to drop it off within the Dursley area if it can't be picked up.

Curtain poles for straight and bay windows (Woodmancote GL11)
Gifted
Two matching curtain poles - distressed brass type, fairly clean condition but not new. Just noticed a bit of paint of one of them. Anyway, one has bendy bits to go round a bay window, and one is straight - about 170cm. Ball shaped end wotsits. C-shaped curtain rings (the sort designed to draw past the mounting brackets even in a bay window). Not sure if all the mounting bits are there, it looks like it. These are quite chunky, strong poles and would take heavy curtains. I prefer blinds to curtains so these need a new home. Note: zoom in on the photos as the smaller image makes the pole bits look shinier than they actually are!

CD player & DAB radio cube system (Woodmancote GL11)
Gifted
This Ministry of Sound cube microsystem still works after nearly 20 years and looks surprisingly good for its age. It takes up too much room in my new house as the cubes are quite substantial (19cm across, and the subwoofer is bigger). I packed the cubes back into their original box. They are as the picture, plus a rectangular subwoofer and a remote. The sound quality is excellent, and I used it with a dongle that picks up Bluetooth from a phone etc. so it was quite handy. It deserves a good new home!

Set of ceiling and wall lights (Woodmancote GL11)
Expired
I have several candelabra-style ceiling light and matching wall lights which came with the house when I bought it. Distressed brass, except one which is silver metal. Mostly clean but with a few bits of dust and paint. In working order, might need new mounting screws. The white bulb shades are frosted glass, three on the ceiling ones, one on the side/wall ones. There's a few bulbs as well, which I don't need. Size: about 35cm/14 inches tall; ceiling ones are a bit wider than tall. These look nice when they're lit up, but my ceilings are too low for them & my taller friends have headbutted them occasionally... Let me know if you want any or all of them, they need a new home!

Fish tank with lid & light (Woodmancote GL11)
Gifted
Old 30 inch tank with pine lid & light. In use until today (Saturday ). Cleaned but not scrubbed. Faint scratches but these aren’t really visible when the tank is populated - the glass is old fashioned & quite thick, giving a good view. Would make a useful fry tank. I might have a spare heater somewhere too, and have kept & rinsed the gravel. Dimensions: 76x40x30cm (30x15x12 inches - about 20UK gallons or 90 litres) Would also do for a gerbil tank, vivarium etc.

Small cupboard with drawer, stand for fish tank etc (Woodmancote GL11)
Expired
Black cabinet, reinforced to support an aquarium, with drawer. OK to use as a handy storage cupboad, but will also support a small to medium aquarium, with a hole in the cabinet for pump wiring etc. and plenty of room for fish food, cleaners etc. Size: 60cm wide, 40cm deep, 79cm tall. Good clean condition.

Grey bath panel (new) (Woodmancote GL11)
Gifted
An unused grey bath panel in good condition. One small dent at the end, otherwise coated all over, no scratches or marks, and with a slightly shorter plinth panel to go with it. 170cm long, plinth is about 167cm. Suitable for a medium sized bath, and may be used as-is or painted. Probably made of mdf but quite heavy, not a lightweight panel.

Large waterproof rucksack for hiking, cycling etc. (Woodmancote GL11)
Gifted
Large white Banjo Brothers rucksack in good clean condition. About 50cm (20") tall x 35cm. Waterproof, and has a waterproof separate lining. Several pockets and sturdy straps. Reflective silver strips. I used it for cycling with a laptop, change of clothes etc. in it and it still looks almost new. Needs a good home as I don't use it any more.

Double duvet for dog bed (Woodmancote GL11)
Gifted
A kingsize duvet which was used as a car bed for a border collie. Washed at 40C and aired; clean & vgc but still has a few collie hairs. Very useful for covering sofa or car seat for occasional use by comfort-loving dog with joint problems!

2x Medium dog bed cushions with covers (Woodmancote GL11)
Gifted
88cm x 67cm dog cushion bed with Danish Design removable washable cover (stag pattern). Slightly faded but in good condition. Too small for my lurcher, whose long legs go right over the edge, but a good size for any small to medium dog or large cat. Both inner cushion and outer cover washed and aired ready to go to a new home. A second cushion bed, same size, with soft removable zebra print cover, also washed & aired. Camera perspective makes this one look bigger but it's about the same, just thicker. Note the cat in the picture is a very large Ragdoll; dog is also big, 28" to shoulder. Let me know if you'd like one or both of these beds.

Shredded paper for packing, compost, animal bedding etc. (Woodmancote GL11)
Expired
Four large bags of cross-cut shredded paper. All paper clips, staples etc that I could find were removed before shredding. Paper only, no glossy magazines or plastic wrappers. Let me know if you’d like this for animal bedding, composting or packing (eg packing crockery for house moves) Linda

Small week planner & cork board (Woodmancote GL11)
Gifted
40x30cm so fairly small & lightweight; you can write/wipe clean on the white side, cork pinboard on the other half. Good for a kitchen or workshop. Clean but with a few pin holes in the cork, and faint water stains on the frame from over-enthusiastic cleaning.

Fidget toys (Woodmancote GL11)
Gifted
Three fidget toys/metal puzzles. One is a folding cube, the others are puzzles with joining/taking apart the bits, so not for tiny kids. Cool, smooth metal and fairly heavy. Ideal for everyday carry for anyone who needs a reassuring fidget. Used but pretty much like new, and cleaned with hand sanitizer. (I have a ton of these & need to rehome some!)

85L large rucksack with frame (Woodmancote GL11)
Gifted
Big Tracpac 85 rucksack. About 26 inches or 65cm tall when packed. It has a breathable padded back over a lightweight metal tube frame. Shoe section at the bottom, big side pockets. A bit faded and dusty but no broken bits or tears. Good for hiking with a tent or bulky sports kit. Big greyhound-sized dog for scale!

Upholstery materials & springs (Woodmancote GL11)
Gifted
Wool/cotton thick batting approx 60cm square, new 10 serpentine springs - 9 gauge, 22 inch but can be cut shorter. Saved from an old sofa but in good condition 5m of new support wire, paper covered New support clips for the springs to hook onto Listed together as you would need all these for an upholstery project (eg to renovate an old armchair or repair a sofa). Preferably pick them all up at once. Tiny tabby not included (cats are fascinated by upholstery!)

New white toilet seat (Woodmancote GL11)
Gifted
White composite toilet seat, unused. Seems good quality. This was amongst various fixtures which I found stacked in a corner when I bought my house. It had some plastic packaging still attached. I think it's brand new, it doesn't look as if it has ever been fixed to a loo. I have a wooden seat & don't need this one so it's free to good home. It would need fixing bolts (fixtures are cheap and mostly adjustable).
